      Nice video, although too many youtube commercials, keep it real. That outage was during my peak movie downloading days on to my PS3. My brother was laughing at me with his 360 fanboys. I did not have a credit card or any funds on my account so and I wasn't too worried about my info, I just changed all my passwords immediately after.
      I didn't feel too offended by this event, especially because Sony handled it mostly professionally.
      Xbox on the other hand burned me 3 times with the red ring, it made perfect circles destroying several of my games, low quality 360 controllers that lasted me less than 1 year, and now a crummy exclusive-less generation. It gets harder for me to forgive their mistakes. Especially with those stupid,"oops" error messages.

Needless to say I was very upset when I found out the network was down and I couldn't get any games for it. It went back to the store 2 days later for a refund. I never bought another Sony product again.

After the hack, I never saw her log in again and after mourning her for a long time, I kind of accepted that I'd never get closure and unfriended her account. I hated always seeing her PSN ID on my list with the Last Logged In date only getting longer and longer...

    I was just excited to finally take my 2 weeks worth of pay during the summer to finally buy a ps3 that I had been wanting for years. I bought it after work walking a mile to the mall. Caught the public bus, and then walked the almost 2 miles home over a big mountain holding my ps3 slim massive box. Embarrassing? Yes. Did I care? Fuck no

      Sony as a company is so weak, and the fact they still have not spoke out about this speaks volumes. Rockstar immediately got the FBI involved once someone started leaking their GTA 6 footage, embarrassing.
