Playstation's Alive!

If you're a gamer, of any kind, you're probably aware of PlayStation Live's hacking incident. A group of anomyus hackers some how found their way into the online gaming community and intentionally crashed the entire network. PlayStation live has been offline for the past three weeks. Until this morning....
The programmers at Sony finally got the network running again, but it might be too little too late. PlayStation Plus, a premium paid-for feature of PlayStation Live that requires payment via credit card, also got hacked. So somewhere on this earth a small group of hackers have access to over 17 million credit card owners information (and we wonder why identity theft continues to be a rising  crime in America).

This is also why I play Xbox.
