If you're a PlayStation Network customer, you may be happy to know you'll likely have your services back really soon: later this week according to Sony.
Sony is releasing a Tales of Xillia special edition PlayStation 3 in Japan, continuing the company's trend of special edition bundles.
Not content with fighting what appears to be their own personal war against online hackers, Sony has today released details of a new official wireless headset and microphone combination that they believe takes gaming to a new aural high.
After weeks of turmoil, PlayStation fans can finally rejoice, or at least just a bit, now that Sony's CFO hinted at a next-generation PlayStation console. While we still don't have any further details, at least we know they're working on it, right?
The Sony PR mess continues. Just yesterday, we reported that Sony Music Greece and Sony Music Japan had been hacked and over 8500 accounts had been compromised. Today was Sony Ericsson's turn, which saw its Canadian sShop website broken into, as 2,000 usernames, email addresses and hashed passwords made their way onto the web.
This year has been terrible for Sony. With one break-in and a detected exploit last week, following many more over the last month, we'd expect nothing to get worse, but it did: another Sony service got broken into, this time Sony Music Japan, the company's Japanese music label.
Sony hasn't been having a great year as far as security is concerned. After a hack last month and quite a few ever since, it was just two days ago that another exploit was found, bringing all online services down once again. In an already bad week for Sony, F-Secure is now reporting that an actual scam site is hosted on Sony's Thai domain, sony.co.th.
Sony have today released details of their PSN 'Welcome Back' package for North American customers, with PlayStation Plus service and free games the order of the day.
Sony's servers may have been taken down using Amazon's servers according to Bloomberg. Citing people familiar with the matter, Bloomberg claims Amazon's 'Amazon Web Services' servers may have been used to attack Sony's online presence.
Sony today pushed out a new software update for its PS3 console in preparation for the return of its PlayStation Network service.
