    Presumably that doesn't include the cost of all those who have jumped ship to the 360.

    I suspect that will be the greater cost in the end.

    Re: News - Sony predicts cost of PlayStation Network hacking

    Well I just got a second hand PS3 for £100! Main reason for it isn't games though - iplayer + blu-ray with built in wifi. Thanks very much - Get little tv reception in study on tv and have no network ports so ideal). Saying this I'm sure I'll game on it a bit.

    Re: News - Sony predicts cost of PlayStation Network hacking

    I wonder if that figure includes lost business on the Playstation store. With 70 million potential customers the loss there must run into tens of millions.

    The total cost of the PlayStation Network hacking could cost Sony over £100m.

    ...Good!

    They should have just paid the $500k ransom the hackers asked for.......while completely immoral, they could have saved a lot of people (themselves included) a lot of bother.....at the very least it might have bought them some time to tighten things up.

    They should have just left OtherOS alone, that's that they should have done.
