If you've not got Wipeout already, that should be one. I have it and I'm thinking about getting it anyway so I'd have the Fury expansion. But then I'd have to play it off disc... but then I'd not have it taking up hdd space. Oh I dunno.

Littlebigplanet is great. Bettered by its sequel though.

I must say, I'm not massively enthused by any of the offers. Pretty old games that I'd not bother picking up if I saw them on sale for a tenner. Guess I'll go for Dead Nation and either Ratchet & Clank or Infamous. And trade whichever of the latter in.

Holy crap, what a farce this is.

If I'm understanding how the exploit works correctly, they are (were) revealing the unique secret token sent in the email in the request reset page! :|

Do we get a 3rd game now or what?

That's how I understood it as well. That's something that I would do, because I enjoy passing parameters in the url. But even I don't pass secrets there!

It gets better!

F-Secure is reporting that Sony's Website for Sony Thailand has been hacked and was being used as a phishing site for an Italian credit card scam. Reuters is also reporting that a Japanase Sony site was hacked and about 100,000 yen ($1,225) was stolen from accounts that were attacked.
quote:
At this point in our investigations, we have not confirmed any data leakage. We have not found any sign of a possibility that a third party has obtained members' names, address, birth dates and phone numbers.

Security experts have told Reuters that Sony's networks around the world remain vulnerable to attack.
Seriously Sony needs to shut down all online operations immediately. People are going to continue to attack them and they should focus on securing everything.

They need to find out who keeps hacking them. And then hire them.

What makes you think it's one person/group?

By revealing how incompetent they are with the original problem, they've basically just said "hey everyone, come have a go, we're really easy".

But they don't need to.

All they need to do is hire any security firm - based on what we've seen, even a rubbish security group could hardly make it worse, (though they should probably hire one of the well known firms, at least as a PR stunt to pretend they care).

A good one will probably walk in and say "shut down external access to everything until we've run an audit, and we'll let you know when it's safe to bring things back again".

Aye, and it's crazy a company that size hasn't done that. Coorporations are stupid.

Crazy in one sense; obvious in another - having experienced small-medium scale bureaucracy, it's not hard to imagine how much worse it might be at a company of that size, which easily explains how a whole bunch of incompetent staff could pass the buck and let shit like this happen.

Fucking Sony has been hacked again!!! There is confusion over exactly what network it is, some say PSN some say Sony Online. But they stored over 1 million users info in plain text and it's been taken.

Unreal :O)

quote:
From http://twitter.com/#!/lulzsec (same people who recently hacked PBS)
NOTE: This seems to be about SonyPictures.com right now. They say PSN was compromised but this may be a new development they haven't leaked anything from yet.
We recently broke into SonyPictures.com and compromised over 1,000,000 users' personal information, including passwords, email addresses, home addresses, dates of birth, and all Sony opt-in data associated with their accounts. Among other things, we also compromised all admin details of Sony Pictures (including passwords) along with 75,000 "music codes" and 3.5 million "music coupons".
Since some users can't seem to read, files/databases were released. See Twitter link above.
