Sony Blocked From Restarting PSN in Japan - briefly
(hx) 05:50 PM CEST - May,16 2011 - Post a comment / read (2)
Nikkei is reporting Japanese authorities will not allow Sony to restart its online game services in Japan until it provides further information on what measures have been taken since the hacking incident.
"The first is preventative measures," states Nobutani. "As of May 13, Sony was incomplete in exercising measures that they said they will do on the May 1 press conference." Details on these preventative measures were left out of the explanation for obvious reasons.

As for the second, Nobutani continues: "There were similar cases in the past that were caused by other firms, and we are asking Sony whether their measures are good enough when compared to countermeasures taken in the past."

It's back up but it's not fully functional. Store and other things are offline. Glad to see we didn't block them to get more details on just how they secured their network here in America. I am going to use Sony cash cards from here on anyhow. I am considering getting rid of my PS3 in favour of a Xbox. When you take into account all the things Sony has stripped from the console, or the lame piracy measures they put in my interest has dropped and my hatred of Sony has gone up. I bought a console with X amount of feature and most of the features have been ripped away.

For a good reason. Running services without firewalls and then asking for help from Department of Homeland Security?
I am glad it was an eye-opener, and surely I hope that not only Sony will learn from this.

@Tom
If you have a buddy with Xbox, you might want to visit your buddy, take a good look and ask for opinions. The grass might be greener on the other side from where you see it, but the other camp is not without its problems, neither.
If you want to switch sides, Xbox 2 should be coming out soon - try to hold out and wait for a few reviews. You might still be disappointed but at least you won't feel regret.
