Yess...... Noooo lol actually it will be on teh first and last posts... so when you reply it will show up on your post until someone else replies.

I wonder if he was playing Socom and thought it was the surround sound

Ill start by posting on my www.gamertwit.com/shane status

I did not say a cc could not be run withouth the ccv code... that is more for online transactions... but just that they are not stored.

Fixed it for you

Maybe I will be getting one too

If you choose not to store it you have to enter it each time... so it is deleted

I know everyone is freaking out, but by regulations set forth by the cc companies and feds, the 3 digit code can not be stored.

I hate to say the PSN outage is going to delay everything as it affects everything up and down stream...

The most common question on the SOCOM 4 forums directed at Zipper is easily, “what changes are you guys making based on our feedback and internal data collection?” While we have answered some of these questions one at a time in various threads, the guarantee that everyone would see those multiple posts is very small. With that in mind we’ve put this list together to better inform you of some of the changes and additions you’ll see to the retail version of SOCOM 4: U.S. Navy Seals (aka SOCOM: Special Forces).

All listed updates are considered tentative pending Zipper and Sony Computer Entertainment approval and could be moved to a different patch without notice.

They used both... she arrived via car and they left in the same carriage as his mother did... there were a lot of comparisions to his mothers wedding

Yah I could not see maybe renting more that 2 or 3 days, at that point its borderline I like the game and I am going to buy it or I am never going to play it again.

Due to my waking up at an unusual hour this morning... all of my regular news was overtaken by the future King... so I turned on Fox News and went to work with it going in the background... got a lot done too

PSN credit card data was encrypted, 'no evidence' it was taken - Sony By Tor Thorsen, GameSpot Posted Apr 28, 2011 7:58 am PT PlayStation maker says that key personal info was security protected and likely not stolen, confirms cooperation with law enforcement. As day eight of the PlayStation Network outage nears day nine, Sony has posted a new Q&A regarding the data leak that accompanied the service disruption. Two days after it said that personal information was compromised, the PlayStation maker is trying to soothe customers' fears by saying that all credit card information submitted to the PSN was encoded. Sony says all credit card info on the PSN during the data leak was encrypted. "All of the data was protected, and access was restricted both physically and through the perimeter and security of the network," the company said in a statement on the official PlayStation Blog. "The entire credit card table was encrypted and we have no evidence that credit card data was taken. The personal data table, which is a separate data set, was not encrypted, but was, of course, behind a very sophisticated security system that was breached in a malicious attack." The company said that the reason it has warned customers that their credit card data may have been stolen was out of an "abundance of caution." The company also pointed out that users' credit card security codes--often called CVC or CSC numbers--were never stored on the PSN or Sony's Qriocity media service, which was also compromised in the attack. These three-digit codes are usually necessary to make an online transaction. The day after Reuters reported that Sony was working with the Federal Bureau of Investigation's cybercrime unit, the game giant also confirmed it is cooperating with "law enforcement." The company did not mention the FBI or any other agency by name, but it did reiterate it is also working with a "recognized technology security firm" on the matter. Finally, Sony somewhat tempered the prediction it offered on Tuesday, when it said that some PSN services would be back up within a week. "We want to be very clear that we will only restore operations when we are confident that the network is secure," the company said.

Not to mention the continued contact with Zipper... That is one reason the feedback post was put up, so we could provided a source of feedback without the issues with the Socom forums.

Last, I know you think you are correct, but I would have to say you are quite incorrect

I honestly do think they realized how much lobbies really were used... we have already discussed with them about the changes that need to be made for the custom rooms to work. Keep in mind we did not get to test the custom rooms prior to release so they did not get any feedback prior to the release. Had they given us the chance to take a look earlier, we could have helped them fix it.

Welcome to Urgent Fury, and check your PMs... we want to make sure you guys get a website so that you can communicate as a team.

This is a perfect response for the matters posted by Podcast Host rothbart...

Update on PlayStation Network and Qriocity + Posted by Patrick Seybold // Sr. Director, Corporate Communications & Social Media Thank you for your patience while we work to resolve the current outage of PlayStation Network & Qriocity services. We are currently working to send a similar message to the one below via email to all of our registered account holders regarding a compromise of personal information as a result of an illegal intrusion on our systems. These malicious actions have also had an impact on your ability to enjoy the services provided by PlayStation Network and Qriocity including online gaming and online access to music, movies, sports and TV shows. We have a clear path to have PlayStation Network and Qriocity systems back online, and expect to restore some services within a week. We’re working day and night to ensure it is done as quickly as possible. We appreciate your patience and feedback. Valued PlayStation Network/Qriocity Customer: We have discovered that between April 17 and April 19, 2011, certain PlayStation Network and Qriocity service user account information was compromised in connection with an illegal and unauthorized intrusion into our network. In response to this intrusion, we have: Temporarily turned off PlayStation Network and Qriocity services; Engaged an outside, recognized security firm to conduct a full and complete investigation into what happened; and Quickly taken steps to enhance security and strengthen our network infrastructure by re-building our system to provide you with greater protection of your personal information. We greatly appreciate your patience, understanding and goodwill as we do whatever it takes to resolve these issues as quickly and efficiently as practicable. Although we are still investigating the details of this incident, we believe that an unauthorized person has obtained the following information that you provided: name, address (city, state, zip), country, email address, birthdate, PlayStation Network/Qriocity password and login, and handle/PSN online ID. It is also possible that your profile data, including purchase history and billing address (city, state, zip), and your PlayStation Network/Qriocity password security answers may have been obtained. If you have authorized a sub-account for your dependent, the same data with respect to your dependent may have been obtained. While there is no evidence at this time that credit card data was taken, we cannot rule out the possibility. If you have provided your credit card data through PlayStation Network or Qriocity, out of an abundance of caution we are advising you that your credit card number (excluding security code) and expiration date may have been obtained. For your security, we encourage you to be especially aware of email, telephone, and postal mail scams that ask for personal or sensitive information. Sony will not contact you in any way, including by email, asking for your credit card number, social security number or other personally identifiable information. If you are asked for this information, you can be confident Sony is not the entity asking. When the PlayStation Network and Qriocity services are fully restored, we strongly recommend that you log on and change your password. Additionally, if you use your PlayStation Network or Qriocity user name or password for other unrelated services or accounts, we strongly recommend that you change them, as well. To protect against possible identity theft or other financial loss, we encourage you to remain vigilant, to review your account statements and to monitor your credit reports. We are providing the following information for those who wish to consider it: U.S. residents are entitled under U.S. law to one free credit report annually from each of the three major credit bureaus. To order your free credit report, visit www.annualcreditreport.com or call toll-free (877) 322-8228. We have also provided names and contact information for the three major U.S. credit bureaus below. At no charge, U.S. residents can have these credit bureaus place a “fraud alert” on your file that alerts creditors to take additional steps to verify your identity prior to granting credit in your name. This service can make it more difficult for someone to get credit in your name. Note, however, that because it tells creditors to follow certain procedures to protect you, it also may delay your ability to obtain credit while the agency verifies your identity. As soon as one credit bureau confirms your fraud alert, the others are notified to place fraud alerts on your file. Should you wish to place a fraud alert, or should you have any questions regarding your credit report, please contact any one of the agencies listed below. Experian: 888-397-3742; www.experian.com; P.O. Box 9532, Allen, TX 75013 Equifax: 800-525-6285; www.equifax.com; P.O.

Box 6790, Fullerton, CA 92834-6790 You may wish to visit the web site of the U.S. Federal Trade Commission at www.consumer.gov/idtheft or reach the FTC at 1-877-382-4357 or 600 Pennsylvania Avenue, NW, Washington, DC 20580 for further information about how to protect yourself from identity theft. Your state Attorney General may also have advice on preventing identity theft, and you should report instances of known or suspected identity theft to law enforcement, your State Attorney General, and the FTC.

Our teams are working around the clock on this, and services will be restored as soon as possible. Sony takes information protection very seriously and will continue to work to ensure that additional measures are taken to protect personally identifiable information.
