As long as there is online information obtainable by any means, hackers will always have a way into the systems of these major gaming corporations. This is why in my opinion it is safer to rather buy yourself a 20$ card for the PSN, or some Wii Points from the store, rather then placing your credit card information into the system. No matter how well encrypted they make their systems someone out there with the knowledge and the technology will be able to bypass any and everything and acquire our information.

A least Nintendo's system was more secure than Sony's. It was fixed a lot more quickly, too. I agree that I'd rather buy points at a store. I don't even have a credit card, but if I did, I would guard that number rather closely. Putting it online, anywhere, is risky.

Well, I preferred the PSN hack because I never played online and I earned 2 free games :p

I got jipped out of 1 of my free 2 games, cause I accidently hit the cancel button and it closed out of the page for me to download.

What I like about Nintendo getting hacked is that it lead to this post which reminded me I haven't yet claimed my two free PSN games. Thanks tilinelson2. :proposetoast:

Seriously though, just another reason to dislike the DLC distrubution method.
