It’s been seven days and counting since PSN was suspended due to an external intrusion. PSN user details were compromised and has led many to lose all faith in Sony. And it looks like the outage has taken a chuck from Sony’s stocks as well. Figures revealed by the New York Stork Exchange reveal that Sony’s stocks have been declining rapidly ever since the breach announcement was made last night.
Stocks have closed at $28.93, as opposed to $29.71 at opening time, which amounts to a loss of $780191.14 during today alone. And by the look of things, the snowball tumbling down hill ain’t gonna stop anytime soon.
This is undoubtedly the biggest crisis Sony’s facing ever since the launch of PS3. We hope they manage to bring things into order before the damage becomes too big to recover from. How much more they giant loses due to this breach is anyone’s guess. But you can look at today’s tumble below:

You read Sony’s official statement regarding the matter over here. Sony’s so bothered by this whole episode that they’re even hiring new engineers to further secure the network.
On a brighter note, apparently, a Sony rep confirmed that some new features might be introduced to PSN users, including Cross-Game chat as compensation for this outage.
:wtf:

Do or Do Not, There is No Try
I can only dream of cross game chat being introduced in the "new" PSN. However, I have given up on Sony's claims of anything at this moment. Also, this isn't the first time Sony has mentioned we may receive cross game chat. I see this being another false promise made by the company.

Poor Sony... I hope this doesn't affect us as gamers (more than it already has of course)
Thankfully i never used Credit Cards on PSN, i used PSN cards only.
