Hello, for those of you people reading the news you have noticed that Sony has taken some bad footsteps by not encrypting PSN information Securily. Idk if this has to do with it but....
I just tryed to log On and was brought up with the TOA Version 8. It talks alot about moddifying "NETWORK" and "Console" things so i'm guessing this is their final warning to everyone before the SUPER Banhammer hits.
