Any Marketplace there is a fee associated for the marketplace. A certain percent goes to maintenance. Obviously Sony wasn't putting this money where it needed to be in "security" so they not only let their customer base down but, also the publishers since they aren't making money while the service is down and this can hurt their profits down the line.
Sony says PSN 'intrusion' compromised personal info; hopes to have 'some services' back 'within a week'
Apr 27th 2011 5:42AM (Joystiq)Well even though we don't pay for their service we do pay for their marketplace. I'm not a PSN plus member but, I do buy games, add-ons and movies from PSN. Now my card info is compromised. Even with XBL being down for 3 days I ended up getting a free game Sony better do something to soften the blow for people losing their personal data.

Sony and PlayStation 3 jailbreaker George Hotz settle out of court
Apr 11th 2011 4:10PM (Joystiq)This is a loss for consumers IMO. Yes hotz did create that hack to mod PS3's but, it's up to Sony to prevent it by adding extra security measures. This problem would be solved if Sony did what MS has done with the Xbox360. If it's found modded ban the console from going online and make better security updates to find those consoles.
Even the new Beta MS is doing is possibly due to help them with copyright protection by changing the format of the discs on Xbox360. Yeah Sony needs to defend their product but, it's by being a responsible corporate conglomerate. That's by upholding your half as a console maker and creating enough security/policies that defers many from doing it because they see little to no gain in doing it.
Sony makes great products but, any "real" gamer should hate their legal team at the end of the day. Especially their history of destroying import shops, modders, what's next? These aspects of consumer choice have been around since the dawn of gaming. Giving more control to the corporate giant will just help them nickel and dime us in the end. All the people sticking up for Sony has to remember needs to ask themselves a question.
When has another console came out that has lost core features overtime?

Rovio's Vesterbacka defends mobile games, calls out Nintendo's '$49 pieces of plastic'
Mar 30th 2011 2:14PM (Joystiq)Well I give it to the guy he did wait about 2 or 3 weeks before making a response. Probably not the best person to speak on how gaming in the "casual market" is changing but, I'll give him props for not staying tight lipped while another CEO talks about how you make your bread and butter...
