Psychological help, and help to get out of the way of life you might be in?
Most people end up worse after prison because they have no chance to get back to a good life..
If all the crimes in the world were committed by poor people, or by the mentally ill then I might agree totally.
Prison should seem like a bad place to end up, that's the point.
He didn't lose. They settled out of court. Anonymous is a bunch of ****s anyways. They think they're doing things for the greater good, but in reality they're just making themselves out to be a bunch of bell ends.
You're not suppose to question these things. I'll have to think of a reason in the morning.
On topic: I can't see Sony being as lenient with the public anymore. They are certainly going to be more strict about "stuff" in the future, to prevent this from happening again.
But it's a carefully considered wrong, as opposed to a spur-of-the-moment, "I'm going to ****ing have you for that", lashing out. What if your punch is harder? Should they be allowed to hit you again?
You've said yourself many, many times on here that in a fight or other violent situation, a careful, considered response is the last thing on anyone's mind.
So no, I don't think you should be allowed to punch someone in the face just because they've done it to you (although the provocation of the initial attack on you should be considered when deciding the 'other wrong' - but this is again my point of a considered punishment) just as I don't think you should be let loose with a gun and an address if someone tries to murder you.
Coooome onnn.. It was a useless feature anyway. And as someone wrote, NO ONE forced you to install newer firmware that removes the feature, you could happily ran slowest Linux rendition until PS4.. without PSN, but hey, no one forced you..
On the other hand these idiots are ruining experience for millions of people that can't play their games online now, i don't care if they burn the SCEA boss'es car, but this is no way to prove their 'point'..
I don't like what Anon are doing, but they are not doing it because of the OtherOS feature, it's all about the way Sony are chasing Graf_Choko and Geohot for modifying a console that they own.
What next, are Intel going to start sueing people for overclocking?
Personally, I think it has more to do with the fact that people with Jailbroken PS3's were able to hack the Trophy system and systematically unlock all their trophies.
And I, Halfass-ly respond with 2 highly uneducated words and a symbol to appear cool amongst fellow PC gamers, and friends alike, Hoping I do not get infractions while R-O-T-F-Ling.
I don't see this issue here. It allows people to get outside and do something with their lives during break.
As for Sony claiming they pulled the plug, it just seems daft. If you claim to be attacked by a external source that's hellbent on getting revenge, then don't you think they wouldn't attack your customers? I think whatever did it (Anon or etc you guys were ranting on) managed to take it down themselves and Sony is just trying to cover up a bigger wound.
Not much of a console gamer anymore although i would like to own a PS3 just to take photos in GT5, or own a 360 for it's content rich Live.
Whoever has done this should realise that Sony can do whatever the **** they please with their system and just face the fact that there's nothing they can do to stop Sony.
And do they honestly expect to achieve anything from this? To Sony this is just a minor inconvenience that can be fixed with time and can be prevented in the future. Think what Sony could do if they find out who is doing this.
Wow this forum really is full of egocentric short-sighted idiots...
I think Sony does have the power to fix it because well their Sony...
And I th9ink its fairly safe to say that whoever did this deserves a good slap in his or her face
from every PSN user who just wants to enjoy their Sony playstation product.
That's assuming it was an deliberate attack. As someone already said in this thread, they can be having some serious technical difficulties. It's actually far more likely they have a genuine breakdown because there's no way a bunch of hackers can hump you hard like that.
If you ask me, I think Sony kind of deserves this for all the DRM crap and GeoHot cause
