I just hope France won't be the last country to get the PSN back...

Hope it does come back tomorrow, link gun loving bots are starting to get tedious.

Actually not sure. Yes i've read up and target date is 5/3 w/o the store as suggested by sum of us players in their blogs. but its either a hacker prob or server prob!!!! (being that they brilliantly released 3 games in one day? (Really sony?!!!) servers couldn't handle it!!! MK to blame? maybe all three, i mean they all rely on the psn alot!!!   Well that's all i got!     peace

On Tuesday, April 26 we shared that some information that was compromised in connection with an illegal and unauthorized intrusion into our network. Once again, we’d like to apologize to the many users who were inconvenienced and worried about this situation.

We want to state this again given the increase in speculation about credit card information being used fraudulently. One report indicated that a group tried to sell millions of credit card numbers back to Sony. To my knowledge there is no truth to this report of a list, or that Sony was offered an opportunity to purchase the list.

One other point to clarify is from this weekend's press conference. While the passwords that were stored were not “encrypted,” they were transformed using a cryptographic hash function. There is a difference between these two types of security measures which is why we said the passwords had not been encrypted. But I want to be very clear that the passwords were not stored in our database in cleartext form.

To reiterate a few other security measures for your information: Sony will not contact you in any way, including by email, asking for your credit card number, social security number or other personally identifiable information. If you are asked for this information, you can be confident Sony is not the entity asking. When the PlayStation Network and Qriocity services are fully restored, we strongly recommend that you log on and change your password. Additionally, if you use your PlayStation Network or Qriocity user name or password for other unrelated services or accounts, we strongly recommend that you change them, as well. To protect against possible identity theft or other financial loss, we encourage you to remain vigilant, to review your account statements and to monitor your credit reports.

We continue to work with law enforcement and forensic experts to identify the criminals behind the attack. Once again, we apologize for causing users concern over this matter.

Our objective is to increase security so our customers can safely and confidently play games and use our network and media services. We will continue to provide updates as we have them.

I find this link very amusing, but that's just my opinion.

This is why I love my mods.  It makes offline somewhat more fun.  If I feel the need for some UT3, I can know full well that Bots won't be using their links if all the weapons are Ballastics weapons.  Jurassic Rage is also pretty fun, though getting killed by the dinos is considered a suicide, not a death, which kind of sucks.  Combine it with Galanator's (can't spell it right) Invasion for increased effect.  Also, I've been playing some Betrayal and Greed as of late.  I kind of wish we still cared for one or both of these mods.  As long as you don't over do it, Betrayal's still a lot of fun.  Sometimes I go for the most daggers, sometimes I try to play my hand and get the pot up into the 20s, whilst trying to avoid the bot teammate from around 5 to until around that point.

SilverJ-17, do you play on the PS3 or PC?  I can't find any decent mods for the PS3 to make the bots act more realistic.  For example, mods that allow you to play against some godlike bots and some 'noobs' like myself!  On public servers its always like this, you get some really good players with a mixture of decent players/ new players.

Originally posted by Rish_man   Is there also a mod where you can choose what weapons can be used in a level, for example on the public servers a lot of people use flak - so practicing to dodge the flak offline would help.

There is a mutator in the game: "Weapon Replacement", you can switch out all guns to whatever you want. (Not bio)

Ah cheers NocTuRnuS, will look into that.
