    Unless MS gets hacked or something happens to Live you know they must be doing high fives right now.

    Nintendo on the other hand is probably looking at this and asking one another if they really want to bother with online.

    I was on Facebook earlier today and my Sony Defense Force friends were saying that this is just another reason why Playstation is better than Xbox because of how "Sony handled the situation."

    I still suspect a continuation of the GeoHot situation.

    I do too - after the Anonymous attack I remember a quote from either Sony or their security company kind of saying the attack was weak and just an annoyance. Publicly calling out a hacker attack as weak seems like a pretty strong invitation for hackers to "bring it on".

    I hope that they are able to figure out who did this hack but he will be near impossible to find (unsecured neighbour wifi for all your illicit needs).

    This whole thing is making me seriously rethink having my CC info stored anywhere, and all of a sudden Nintendo's looking pretty smart making me enter that info every single time.

    I suspect that was never intentional, but it sure as hell is never changing now.

    One studio expects a 5-10 per cent drop in business from estimated two-week outage

    The ongoing global shutdown of the PlayStation Network has left a UK studio with “absolutely no revenues” for a week.

    The head of the studio, who wishes to remain anonymous, predicts further woes when the network comes back online.

    “What we’re concerned about is how many people are going to come back after the PlayStation Network comes back online,” the person said.

    “There may be a lot of people who won’t want to spend their money through PlayStation Network now. We’re expecting a 5-10 per cent drop in business.”

    Sister site Develop has the full story.

    So every time I see an article about Nintendo it's either about their HD system, or how they are DOOMED because the 3DS is selling poorly.

    How poorly is poorly?

    Which is only because there wasn't one of those "MUST HAVE" games that released with it... I mean, at least the DS had Super Mario 64DS.

    That said, I'll probably be getting one in the next week or so.

    We determined earlier in the thread that it is also due to launching in spring at a pretty high price and the in-store demos are not widely enough available and/or are shitty.

    Anyway, what games are you thinking of getting? In case you haven't been following, everyone's been oohing and aahing over Ghost Recon Shadow Wars, and if you like games like Advance Wars or FFTactics you might want to give it a try.

    So tri-Ace is having two games published by Konami, a 3DS game and a multiplayer PSP game. Their last game was published by Sega. They're breaking away from Square Enix lately.

    Are they trying to shop around or are they trying to have their eggs in all different baskets?
