You probably already know, but just in case you hadn't heard

I wasn't sure where to put this, but it is serious, and it is Nintendo related. I'm assuming that you probably already know about the Playstation network being hacked. If not, you need to keep an eye on your bank statements and credit reports. Even if they didn't get credit card security numbers, they could have gotten enough to steal your identity.If you have used the network, your information was vulnerable.

The PS3 is not a piece of shit, mind you. Having played both the XBox 360 and the Playstation 3, I can safely say, game quality wise, the Playstation 3 blows XBox right out of the water.

Having not purchased anything from the Playstation Store, used any personal details on my machine (As far as they know, I live at 123 Fake Street, Alaska) or a real name, I'm sitting here rather smugly. I feel for those whose important information was stolen. Sony should have been a bit more secure with their data, but hey, you get what you pay for. Considering the service is free, you can't not expect one or two flaws every once in a while. I'd rather use PSN than XBox Live any day.

What I find rather hilarious is that people initially blamed Anonymous for this, when their attack was two weeks PRIOR to the downage of Playstation Network.
