... Grow up and teach you kid not to act like a baby, this is how you raise a spoiled brat. I got an XBone for Christmas and it still hasn't finished downloading the game that came in the bundle. Am I mad? Yeah, and a little annoyed but tomorrow or the next day everything will be back to normal so I got over it and just hung out with my family (God forbid you do that instead of play video games all day).
Also can we stop calling DDOS's "hacks", there is no "hacking" going on, no unauthorized internal network access, no leaking of private data. Sony WAS hacked by GOP, but Sony and MS are being DDOS'd not hacked. Let's call this what it is and not put it on the same level as what GOP did to Sony (or what hackers did to Sony that took down PSN a few years back). This is temporary and will cause no long-term damage. This will be practically forgotten within a week (Just like the WoW DDOS's that happened around the WoD launch).
I think we can all agree that games that don't need online should be playable but that's a seperate issue. We can gather our pitchforks on that issue if we want but the DDOS isn't PSN/XBLive's fault...
