You scared the hell out of me for a sec....I just checked and they say full functionality is down until the end of May.....online multiplayer should be back well before then hopefully knowing sony, it won't be back up until June....

Anyone heard anything about the identity theft protection offering? I keep reading about how they are going to offer it, but havent seen anythign or heard of anyone signing up for it.

Come on Sony, the sooner the better when it comes to that poo.

IIRC, from their blog they said they would be sending out activation codes to use with the company... Problem is, I doubt they would send those through email, so I guess in typical Sony fashion they are waiting to do so directly through you PSN account once the network is back up? Just a guess.

Another problem I have with this though... What if the hackers are waiting for the network to come back up just so they can use the name/passwords and take over as many accounts as possible before most users get a chance to log on and change them? I know it's a lot of accounts, but still...

The new update is going to require you to change your password. You arent going to be able to use any old passwords, and you wont be able to change them from any ps3 that the account wasnt created on without going through an email validation process.

new ps3 blog post says they expect it up in a few days..

I haven't missed it much since I don't play many games online. I mostly use PSN for DLC, though.

F*ck!

I'll be undergoing a "minor medical procedure" next Thursday afternoon, and will be out of work on Friday. Plus the wife and kids are going to GA for a baby shower this weekend... Beer swilling and BFBC2 for 3 straight days, please Sony... make it so! (and give me ID theft protection)
