What REALLY sucks is that a lot of people don't have their PS3's networked or don't even have an internet connection. So unless the firmware update comes on the disc itself, those people will be screwed by the new games. And they haven't done anything wrong (though this may lead them to piracy, ironically, just to play the newer games).
Sony never got hacked before because no one gave a crap. Now that the PS3 has gotten some decent exclusives, suddenly the hacker community started actually trying. Any console can be hacked. It's really just a question of how motivated the community is to put in the effort.
The first step is to stop movie and music piracy, right? Truly the biggest threat to our country (if you ask any politician getting big campaign donations from Hollywood and big media, that is).
Sony probably has a whole office filled with lawyers to deal with such annoyances. And if they even suspected there was any threat of such a lawsuit, they would just quietly "encourage" a friendly outside lawyer to launch a class-action suit. He would get a nice payday, the consumers would get some worthless coupons, and Sony would be indemnified from any further lawsuits on the matter.
Do you *really* think it's just a coincidence that a guy who has no criminal record for anything more serious than a hacking charge in his 39 years would suddenly turn to a life of violent crime just a few weeks after the release of documents embarrassing to the world's most powerful government (and days after threatening to release even more such documents)? If you honestly believe that's just a coincidence, then I would suggest it's *you* who needs to check your cranium's orientation.
You make a movie that publicly flaunts that you were/are involved with mobsters (whether real or fictional), then wonder why legitimate businesses start backing away?
2089. Global cooling turned out to be the problem. Don't elect Jack Peterson. Computer AI still sucks. Plant more soybeans. Still no flying cars or Duke Nuke'em Forever.

The UAE is one of the most liberal Muslim countries. They would probably just imprison you for life rather than actually chopping your head off.

But it was so bad!
That's a very serious allegation. I'm hereby calling on her to step down until we can clear this matter up.

Metallica did it a year earlier with Cliff 'Em All. There is probably an even earlier precedent.
Big money controls all governments. And the entertainment industry is VERY big money.
They were just investigating all the torrent/Wikileaks mirrors on rape and molestation charges.
Wasn't it thanks enough that we later inspired their own revolution, and all the wonderful change that followed?

Another day of Duke Nuke'Em delays is like a day on the farm. I LOVE THE DUKE!
Getting the French government to surrender? That seems unlikely.
I'll have you know that Zeke and Rufus are very hard workers. They've overcome a lot in life, and here you come along and insult them. Shame on you.
No, that stuff smells like gasoline.
It smells like victory.
Makes me feel like a NASCAR driver. Vrooom...vroooom!
My cat's name is Mittens.
If I learned nothing else from Flight of the Conchords, it was that Australians are evil, svil creatures who will rob you blind and steal your soul.
I'm pretty sure any conventional plant life would require carbon dioxide.

It's not her fault. She got the lawyer to do her homework for her.
