This is nobody but sonys fault really. It's just sad to see people rush to the defense of a console that somehow fails in every area.How is any of this actually Sonys fault?
Sony's security system was (and is) on the same end as banks, and even banks get robbed once in a while. Do you usually blame the bank, or the robber? I dun see why the hackers are seen like some kind of Robin Hood in this case, since They are the ones that ruined gaming for us.
Concerning the Welcome Back gift, imo it is a lot more than we deserve, seeing how much shit we give Sony for something they can not control. They have no obligation to give the players anything at all, since the players are the ones that broke their toy (that would be PSN). Also, you only see the few games listed as the gift; check out your free PSN Plus as well, you get about another 10 free games (mostly small and cheap, yes, but still good games) from there.
Besides, what do ya expect; that if Microsoft get hacked they'll give you free copies of every new AAA-game for a year? Don't be stupid, this way no one looses and everybody wins.
Of course you'd blame it on the bank, you don't keep that many peoples important information then guard it with some sleeping dude.
Wait, what? The normal (and reasonable) reaction would be to blame the robber. The bank is just doing what it can at it's best capabilities; when a bunch of people runs in with guns they can't do much than hope to get them on tape. Kinda like Sony; they have among the best security in the world. If it gets breached (and no matter how good it is, it can, and will), they can't do much about it.

I'm going to say this so everyone listen. ANYONE can get hacked. If you get hacked it isn't your fault. The only thing Sony did wrong was waiting so long to let us know. Everything else was out of their control

I like the way Sony got hacked just like that.
Anyways, those fuckers who hacked should rot in prison and get raped by lonely prisoners.

Lol this is ofcourse assuming that the actual security guard is sleeping. Although it's still a wrong answer since in that case the most responsible person to blame is the bankaccount owners themselves. Why would you put your money in a bank where you know the security guards wear pajamas on their shifts?
But back to the topic, I don't think it's Sony's fault. Otherwise they wouldn't have bragged to own the console with the best security until Geohotz tarnished that image. Lets keep in mind that the reason they were targetted by people like Geohotz is definitely not because they're an easy target but because they are a challenging target. Please remember that Sony and its PS3 have been around long before it got hacked. It was first released in Japan November 11, 2006 and it was unbreakable until January of 2010 because of Geohotz. Now compare that to other consoles whose games were already pirated illegaly just a year after release.
Sony may not be the most innovative gaming company out there but I think it's wrong to call them 'neglectful' when it comes to security because for years they focused mostly on security to the point that it became the PS3's major selling point.

I thought Geohotz was modding the PS3s because Sony effectively took Linix off of the newer models due to hackers jailbreaking them to get the most out of their purchase. Sony's actions had upset a lot of hackers and techies, driving them to start modding the newers models which eventually led to Sony taking legal action against Geohotz, which in turn led to the Anonymous attack on Sony.

If this is their "best capability" for holding crucial information for millions then perhaps they shouldn't be competing at all.

I don't think you have any idea of what you're saying. To a hacker, the stronger the security, the more tempting the challenge. It is impossible to make a system that can not be breached.

Now there has been several dozen "hacker" arrested some minors in the same country suspected of being a part of the PSN attack
But again they are not sure
Oh and the first 3 I guess were not apart of the PSN attack now...

Agreed. And it's the main reason why organizations like Prolexic profit. Sony's case is not special, it was just overblown by all the hysteria.
