This sabotage-thing has just given life to the fanboys (not directed at you) who had quieted down in the past few years on the "Sony sucks, long live ____" bandwagon. I've noticed since this started there's been so much (not on this board) pointless negativity towards Sony from people without Playstations. Nobody I know with a Playstation has been saying burn it all - just everyone else.

Realistically, this type of thing could have happened to either of the 3 consoles. It would have just been pointless to do on the Wii, because it wouldn't effect anybody - and pointless on the 360 because the people/dude who did it probably has a 360, considering you wouldn't sabotage something you get enjoyment out of for absolutely no reason at all.

That's not entirely true actually...

Sony has admitted to knowing of a potential security flaw in PSN, but not everyone in upper management knew... or something akin to that.

And something about how they encrypted their data.
