Cube and I smashing up Unch tonight.

 

Was distraught to see Tellyn and Daft lacking Uncharted 2. How long were you guys planning on keeping this from me?

 

 

I soz for missing, didn't notice the invites until it was too late.

I'm amazed by the number of people who are getting inFAMOUS now that Sony is giving it away for free. It's one of the best PS3 exclusives (and one of the major reasons I got a PS3), so I always assumed most people had played it. And it's not just on this forum. Probably not a bad idea to give people a chance to check it out for free when the sequel is right around the corner.

 

Me, I'm not even sure if I can be bothered to turn on my PS3 to download WipEout and/or Dead Nation, as I have zero interest in either game and since my PS3 has been very finicky about connecting to the internet since a system update two years ago. :hmm:

I have no idea what a "Zone Mode" is, but I just can't get excited about any racing game that isn't Mario Kart.

 

Maybe I'll download it anyway. You never know, I guess!

 

But I'm really jealous of all of you guys who have somehow missed out on Little Big Planet, Ratchet & Clank or inFAMOUS. You've got it made with this offer.

Zone Mode reskins the track into one massive neon music equaliser (Try it with Daft Punk). Every lap you go round your ship gets faster and faster, you can't slow down. You have to survive as many laps as possible before blowing up (normally caused by hitting the sides too much).

 

It's zen gaming.

Eurogamer has seen video evidence that verifies reports that Sony's PlayStation Network password reset page has been hacked.

 

The exploit allows attackers to change your password using only your PSN account email and your date of birth – information compromised in the PSN hack of 20th April.

 

Sony today made PSN sign-in unavailable for a number of its websites, including PlayStation.com and the PlayStation forums. All PlayStation game titles are also unavailable.

 

Crucially, the website users are directed to by password reset emails is now down.

 

"Unfortunately this also means that those who are still trying to change their password via Playstation.com or Qriocity.com will be unable to do so for the time being," Sony said. "This is due to essential maintenance and at present it is unclear how long this will take.

 

"In the meantime you will still be able to sign into PSN via your PlayStation 3 and PSP devices to connect to game services and view Trophy/Friends information."

 

Sony later tweeted: "Clarification: this maintenance doesn't affect PSN on consoles, only the website you click through to from the password change email."

 

The exploit was first revealed on Nylevia.com.

 

"I would suggest that you secure your accounts now by creating a completely new email that you will not use ANYWHERE ELSE, and switching your PSN account to use this new email," recommends the site.

 

"You risk having your account stolen, when this hack becomes more public, if you do not make sure that your PSN account's email is one that cannot be affiliated with or otherwise traced to you."

 

NeoGAF users have also corroborated the claim.

 

Nylevia claims to have contacted Sony about the exploit. "The system went down approximately 15 minutes after I received a response from SCEE on the matter."

 

Sony has taken the page in question down, and with any luck is fixing the exploit.

 

This is getting out of hand now.

I changed my Password via the PS3. Is at least this method safe? Oo

 

Edit:

 

"Clarification: this maintenance doesn't affect PSN on consoles, only the website you click through to from the password change email."

 

I guess it is safe. I hope it is safe...

Already had that step prepared before the service came online. Go me!

Please can someone confirm that if I changed my password on my PS3 that I am safe?

 

Yes they have not been hacked again or anything rather an exploit that could be used to reset password via PC has been found.

No - your PS3 wil explode and release a toxic death cloud killing all your household. Not much point me posting this you'll be dead already.

Yeah, I would of thought so. If you (or someone else) tried to change your password again, you'd have to supply your current password to accept a new one. Since your new password would be different than the one that was leaked (theoretically what a hacker would use to try and intercept your account) you shouldn't have any problems.

Just realised that LBP on psp is 1.2GB I have two one gig memory cards so now its not as good a freebie as won't be able to play it. Guess at least memory cards are relatively cheap.
