Senior Director of Corporate Communications and Social Media at Sony, Patrick Seybold has declined that Sony were offered a choice to buy back database which the hackers stole from them after hacking into the Playstation Network.
Speaking with NYTimes, the man confirmed that there is no truth to this statement:



Mr. Seybold also pointed to a blog post Sony published Thursday that said:



As it turns out, the hackers very well might be plotting to fool someone into buying the database in order to earn some serious money. We hope this is the case but still would advise readers to check with their banks and ensure that there’s been no suspicious activities carried out with their credit cards.
Earlier today rumours were doing the rounds that hackers were trying to sell of the database stolen from Sony, and had even made an offer to the company in order to buy it back.

Wow, something else for me to dislike sony .

this has already been posted but

as i mentioned, who's to think they didnt make a copy of the database? so the hackers can still use the info

also, so the hackers broke in, and took, REMOVED the database? thought normally when they 'steal' just means the copy all the info to their local drive. So they were able to remove/erase the database that Sony had? even the backup database im sure sony had? why this hacker thing is deep then. (Because would make no sense to buy back if sony had a backup. cant believe in 2011 that no information is being backed up? and if they did, hackers stole info, deleted the database on sonys end, AND deleted their backup databases?)

bullshit, or theyd know who has it and can come don on them hard
