>If hackers make being a Sony customer unpleasant

Unpleasant is the word your choosing to use? Having my credit card information that links to my bank account, and the only bank account I have, and then having that fucked with is more than unpleasant. I'm thankful when the PSN network was compromised I wasn't one of those people with the claims of large sums of money being circulated out of the bank. ( Yes I know, could easily be coincidental evidence. Not the point. )

By all means the cause is more than plausible with Sony's abysmal track record. The methods are absurd and obnoxious, but by all means keep hiding behind this tired old excuse that the end result is to hurt Sony. The people you're trying to help will have no sympathy when you're caught and sentenced.

Irritating, painful, expensive? Choose your favorite word to describe your experience as a Sony customer, I guess.

It's not an excuse, it's a hope. I sincerely hope that this will hurt Sony's bottom line in the near future. I hope that some time soon, the general public will associate Sony with being screwed over, and that they factor that in with the price of that shiny PS3 they want. I hope that Sony will be humbled and beg customers to come back, rather than treating them like shit. This is hardly the first time Sony's customers have been screwed by Sony's customer-hostile policies, so I don't expect it, but I certainly do hope for it.

When I'm caught and sentenced? For schadenfreude, or do you think I'm behind this attack? My handle is easily associated with my meatspace ID; if anybody that mattered thought I was behind this, I'd most certainly be chatting with the FBI right now instead of with you.

Disruptive. I've been going paperless( in regards to money )since 2008, this was a flat out disruption on my day to day life.

>This is hardly the first time Sony's customers have been screwed by Sony's customer-hostile policies, so I don't expect it, but I certainly do hope for it.

Sony's abysmal history is public knowledge, that still had little choice in the limited choice I had with buying a gaming system.

>When I'm caught and sentenced? For schadenfreude, or do you think I'm behind this attack? Kudos for missing that hyperbole.

By all means keep downvoting me. How many of you disagreeing with my point about the extremity of these methods were effected by any this? That's what I thought.
