PSN Hacked

[Slothy]

MS don't get hacked, not because it isn't worth doing there are millions of users credit card details on it. It isn't hacked because MS haven't tried to stomp around like Godzilla and also because MS invested in the development of their network using money found exclusively through the registration fees for it.

Not sure why I'm bothering, and this wasn't even the only case of bad information in this post, but Xbox Live has been hacked hacked before: Xbox Live hacked, accounts stolen | ZDNet

And at the end of the day, we're talking about Microsoft here. Maker of Windows. Japanese companies may not be known for their programming prowess or excellent network security, but how much faith can you really put in Microsoft's ability to build a stable and secure system? They seem to only get it to an ok level with operating systems every 2 or 3 iterations.

The Red Ring of Death, ok so Sony has it's failure in the Yellow Light of Death which is just as potent

Just noticed this in your second post and stopped reading there because, frankly, I don't want to spend half my day reading that to refute you. The hardware failure rates for the PS3 and the RROD aren't comparable. Even the much vaunted yellow light affects a small fraction of PS3 consoles. Not even close to the much reported RROD which was shown to affect anywhere from 25-35% of 360's by numerous sources. I won't bother linking since a quick search of Wikipedia could have shown you this.

Let's be clear, I have no problem with someone who wants to point out problems with any console. I encourage it even. I also have no problem with someone saying the PSN outage is a huge deal and a major issue; I've said as much already in this very thread. But for Thor's sake, if you're going to start throwing around bold statements of fact for or against any console, at least take the time to research it first to make sure you aren't wrong.
