you already broke a record, the most un-secure gaming console in the world
by the way, i would like a refund or maybe there should be a recall on all PS3’s as i don’t feel safe (nor should anyone else) going online with your system, i have accepted to install your security updates and you have failed miserably to keep it secure, if by any chance the hackers sniff out psn transactions to steal my sensitive data i’ll be seeing you in court!! i demand you fix this problem ASAP!!!
@S-E-G LOL you think people are going to steal your stuff WHY??
They can get it for Free else where. Hackers are not after U.
