You could somewhat understand how they hacked PSN the first time as the on-line service was free, you could understand it but at the same time not defend the lacklustre security of Sony. While others seem to learn from their mistakes, Sony do not and now gamers are paying for the privilege to play on PSN this is unforgivable. I play on XBL and PSN, though I have not really played as much on the PSN since the previous attack as my confidence in Sony was affected profoundly by this. Security is a big thing to me, this latest turn of events is most disheartening. I am getting an Xbox One first and I was considering getting a PS4 at some point as I am a multi platform kind of guy. I hope Sony can sort this out for those gamers affected now and to renew confidence as there are a few PS games I was looking forward to playing in the future. Hacking can be good if done in house to check for loopholes in security, this kind of hacking just ruins the gamers experience but these dickheads need to be caught and punished accordingly.
