Sony: PSN Information Compromised
http://ps3.ign.com/articles/116/1164186p1.html

Sony said today it believes personal identification information from registered PlayStation Network users has been compromised as a result of an illegal intrusion that has shut down the service for the past week.

This likes to happen alot it seems. Feels like more often now these days.

lol. I find that amusing.

It's a ton more convenient than dealing with RRODs.

As opposed to YLODs?

I'm glad the Wii doesn't get either of those.  :P

YLODs only ever happen to people who put their PS3s flat on carpets and leave it on for hours straight. If you know how to handle electronics, you won't ever get one.

Yer all !@#$ed if you have one:

My question is, why didn't they have better protection to begin with, this whole thing could've been prevented.... I realize it is free, (which it should be) but seriously, I paid $400 for the system, it should definitely have a higher level of security then this, it's ridiculous... not to mention how much we pay for games, PS store items, etc..

Wasn't talking about the console itself, but it's online service. Xbox Live may cost money, but crap like this doesn't happen either.

Yeah but at least the RROD was pretty much guaranteed to happen while it was still under warranty.

Hindsight is always 20/20.
