point taken
I never took the leap with the original Metal Gear Solid on PS1, just was something I skipped over, and going back and playing the PS3 emulated version now is like cracking open and savouring a really good bottle of aged booze.Metal Gear is fantastic of course, though certainly divisive in some of its design choices. And completely unplayable if you aren't entirely up to date with the series.
That's the thing. It looks bad, but to be honest the only thing people need to really look out for is if they use the same password like '123cats' for every goddamn site on the internet as well as their PSN account. That and if any emails make it through your spam filter that come from the Zimbabwe branch of Sony Computer Entertainment.they have one of my cards... i'll keep an eye out of course, as i always do, but i'm not overly worried.
i mean honestly... what are the odds that of the millions of credit cards that these hackers allegedly have gotten that mine is one of the ones they'd actually use. not to mention they wouldn't be able to use it online because the verification codes weren't compromised.
i won't store my CC info with them anymore once they get this thing up and running... but i'm not exactly worried about anyone charging a trip to the bahamas on my shit any time soon.

Q&A #1 for PlayStation Network and Qriocity Services – PlayStation Blog
"Some" services back up May 3rd.
as the beta itself is more fun than a huge number of other retail multiplayer games (Gears 1 & 2 competitive multiplayer included).
This is encouraging. Believe it or not, I actually had quite a bit of fun with Gears 1 multiplayer the first couple months it was new and quickly got frustrated by the maddening balance issues and semi-unpolished gameplay. I'd like to see what several years of refinement has done for things.
You better keep that Lancer revving, Uncle T-Bag, cause I just got me some beta.
Starting today, Gears of War 3 beta testers in the U.S. have an opportunity to earn a "buddy token" to share with a friend, granting them access to the beta as well.
Players will be given one token for each of the following tasks that are completed by Wednesday, May 4:
- Purchase any "Gears of War" content from Xbox Live Marketplace (including a "Gears of War" Game Add-on, a "Gears of War" Games on Demand title, or a "Gears of War" Avatar item)
- Play 20 or more hours of the "Gears of War 3" beta (any time already spent in the beta will count toward this challenge)
- Add a 12-month Xbox Live Gold subscription to your existing account (purchased from retail or online)
- Play more than 100 hours of any "Gears of War" title, lifetime to date
Buddy tokens will be e-mailed out starting May 8 when the "Never Fight Alone" phase of the beta is rolled out.
