-PSN Pass is a code you will get in games that you enter in one time only so you can play online.
-You get the code for FREE if you buy the game NEW.
-If you buy the game used, then you have to pay a $20 (not yet confirmed) fee to get the code ONLY if you want to play online.
-Not all companies will participate in this! They can choose to do this IF they want to. EA is already on the list, that's a fact, and Ubisoft (creators of the popular series Assassin's Creed) as well.
-GameFly is going to lose a lot of users! I really liked GameFly, I am cancelling my subscription this month
-So if you want to buy your games new, don't worry about it, you don't have to pay any extra money to pay online. You just enter the code, and you're done. If you want to lend your game to your friend, they can't play online unless you give them your system, or unless they buy the code.
-This will take effect September 2011.
-Hope I cleared up some information!
-Sony: :yuno: make online free? If I had to choose whether to pay online for Xbox or PS3, I'd choose Xbox. At least there you actually get something! (Cross game chat, voice IM, and a better online experience).
:FU: SONY!!!!

The first one is easy, out of 80million users on PSN, obviously a couple of thousand of them are going to have money stolen from their credit cards. Money is stolen from credit cards every day, its nothing new, people just think that because it happened during the PSN outage it was caused by hackers, either everyone or no-one is the saying that should be used here.
Don't trust the hackers, they were trying to cause a shitstorm.

I think I'll trust my sources.

You show me where it says that Credit Card Info was taken. Sony said it themselves that Credit Card info was not taken and only the useless stuff. If you can show me that I'll take it all back. PSN is a lot more stable than XBL, I have both, I play both the same amount, I like my PS3 more, and I'd sell my Xbox if it wasn't for the fact that all my friends are on Xbox.
I am looking at it from other perspectives, I'm one of the few who realise that shit happens, its not Sony's fault they were hacked, anyone and anything can be hacked. Something is hacked everyday, and people's credit card info IS actually stolen in them cases.
Also, with the PSN outage Sony did not have to offer anyone anything, nor did Microsoft when they had their outage. But Sony did anyway.
Also an outage during Christmas is WAY worse than an outage during EXAM TIMES, I had exams for the whole month that PSN was down, so did a couple of other MILLION people so the outage was actually a positive for me as it meant I could focus on exams.
Nothing else to say on the matter, shit happens, and it happened big time to Sony but its not their fault. It could easily happen to MS too.

Where were when PSN was down? In a cave or something?
Sony confirmed that credit card info was stolen from PSN and their PC online services. They also wrote 10 god damn articles on how credit card info was stolen.

Show me where it said that Credit Card info was taken, I was not in a cave, I was following it closely. I know everything about the matter, and I also know to keep level-headed and not go throwing false accusations.
Also, at the OP Guy, NGT slandered Sony's name all accross the board during the outage, and then made a video about how they were wrong after.
