The fears of identity theft, credit card fraud, and PSN downtime are absolutely nothing compared to the biggest fear of all -- losing one's Trophies. PlayStation 3 Trophies are more precious than gold and define one as a gamer. Fortunately, they are unaffected by the PSN hacking chicanery.
Sony has assured customers that no loss of data will be suffered as a result of the debacle. As well as Trophies, your download history, friends list and cloud saves will all remain intact. Some gamers were legitimately worried about data loss, so this is a bit of good news at least.
The company has confirmed it is working out a way to apologize to customers with some form of reward, with Patrick Seybold claiming that his team is "evaluating ways to show appreciation for your extraordinary patience."
That's quite good too!

God, I'm a grumpy bastard!
If they rescinded all of those purchases then I better get a friggin' refund for each one!!! (which again, is bad, but at the same time not so bad since I purchased several games I don't even play that I would prefer a refund).
What were we talking about again? Oh yea, trophies! Phew.
/sarcasm
...
Not =P
Dumbass.
The credit card is the last worry.
I highly doubt that though haha
Oh, and on an unrelated note, did you do anything fun on your day off, Jim?
I kid, I kid. Somewhat.
Thank goodness I have them safe and secure in my trophy vault in HOME.

:D
why the fuck are trophies/achivements so FING important to ps3/xbox owners lol.
I was so worried that I peed my pants constantly until I heard this news. Oh wait, trophies are worth... um... dirt. If I had a lot, though, I'd be much more concerned. I'm not calling those who would actually be upset stupid by any means. Jes having a little fun.
