Apparently the hacker lives in England. Essex to be precise. They're also connected to the "oh internet" encyclopedia dramatica fiasco
What was the fiasco part of Oh Internet? The disapproval or something I'm unaware of?
[QUOTE=Take_Opal;29719586]What was the fiasco part of Oh Internet? The disapproval or something I'm unaware of?[/QUOTE] Encyclopedia dramatica got sold or something and became a completely tame version. People hated it.

So, they think he's like the creator of Oh, Internet?
[QUOTE=Take_Opal;29719699]So, they think he's like the creator of Oh, Internet?[/QUOTE] I'm not too sure
Fascinating.
So I'm unaffected because I haven't even turned by PS3 on but I still get to choose 2 free games. Brilliant. I'd be happy if this happened on several occasions.
[QUOTE=Take_Opal;29719699]So, they think he's like the creator of Oh, Internet?[/QUOTE] Doubt it, the creator of Oh, internet is a whale of a woman. It could be related to someone who attacked Oh, internet (assuming they were attacked after the ED shutdown). But that is about the only connection I can see myself.

Even with underlings that would still cause shit if you get caught.
[QUOTE=jaykray;29720856]If i'm correct, he's behind the new ED that got made, basically just an incomplete copy of ED. He's 17 and from Essex.[/QUOTE] It wasn't just him though was it? Was there like more from ED? I'm sure if they found this one guy they could link up the rest of the hackers, then soon enough the case will be cracked.

[b]Please read this[/b] From now on if you're going to post a site claiming it knows when PSN is coming back up, don't. Unless it's from Sony it's horseshit most likely as for the past week every gaming site has released a storm of random dates pulled out of a hat. Just know it got delayed past the 10th in a official statement on sony's site and it won't be up for awhile longer. When Playstation's site updates post that but no more links to "SONY SAID" because they have [i]all[/i] been wrong.
[quote=US PSN Blog]I know you all want to know exactly when the services will be restored. At this time, I can’t give you an exact date, as it will likely be at least a few more days. We’re terribly sorry for the inconvenience and appreciate your patience as we work through this process.[/quote] [url]http://blog.us.playstation.com/2011/05/10/psn-restoration-timeline-update/?utm_source=facebook&utm_medium=social&utm_campaign=psn_restoration_051011[/url]
Adding that to the OP, thanks!

[QUOTE=Yukinari;29760493]I love the comments to that post, i saw them coming.[/QUOTE] You saw 5 people going "Hurry please"? That's not that impressive
[QUOTE=Sift;29761958]You saw 5 people going "Hurry please"? That's not that impressive[/QUOTE] No, that a PS3 owner says the Xbox looks good right about now, and another user being sarcastic for them to take any longer. Gosh.
Still going? Wow, I actually feel sorry for you guys.
[QUOTE=Jah Mason;29757168]Another information filled update from Sony.[/QUOTE] It's almost like they don't know what they're doing.
[QUOTE=DX_V;29764278]It's almost like they don't know what they're doing.[/QUOTE] they dont.
While all this shit is happening I bought Lost: Via Domus off Ebay for the PS3. I know it's supposed to be a really crap game, but it was £2.50 and I'm a big lost fan.
I don't understand the point in writing blog updates if they all say "we don't know when it will be up".
[QUOTE=gta-man12345;29764544]they dont.[/QUOTE] Of course they know what they're doing. Sony has obviously made mistakes, but just like you, they're human and make mistakes in which they learn from. They're working on the issue, believing they're just dicking around trying things out is asinine.

anonymous website thingies got hacked and user data has been posted.
