Yeah, I wouldn't have bothered canceling, I would just trade it in. Of course I wouldn't trade it in for just a month of online play
@mrandy; I dunno, but there are gonna be about 3 people raising hell if it doesn't get taken care of soon
If anything, I'd remove my credit card info and start getting PSN cards. No reason to cancel the damn account. If you own a PS3, why not take advantage of a free online system?
That remembered me, what about those guys who traded their ps3 on Friday and Saturday for a 360, how they feel right now?

bro I'm hosting a match now! just cross game chat me and we'll start injecting the sweet nectar together!

I've not yet cancelled, but given I'd rather not lose the games I've purchased, I'm just updating my info and making sure my stuff is still all there IF and WHEN Sony has provem this network is secure.
That way I can get an NGP or PS3 down the road and pick up where I left off with Sony.
Not dying for a lack of gaming here at any rate. I don't need to have a Sony handheld or console. I'd like to have them, but I'm not going near them again until they've proven themselves.
And they have a lot to prove, I just wish more gamers had the backbone to show some tough love.

Now being serious, I do not blame people for trading their PS3 for 360s. Sony make quite a mess in the PR handling of this case and if people do not feel comfortable owning a Sony product, they should get rid of it.
Deactivation requires access to PSN and even doing a complete system reset from service mode and formating the HDD won't achieve deactivation as it's done using hardware IDs over the network.
In other words, only the individuals which understand that would be the ones calling and canceling while your average angered masses would be simply trading them in without knowing that canceling/deactivating is vital as part of that sale.

I'm holding off on any new purchases from Sony and its studios until I see how well they hold up on the security front. Its not that I want them out of business, but I do want to ensure they're a company I want to support. There's no question that security and stability will be their highest priority at this point, but I find it astounding that they weren't in the first place. They were the stewards of a huge cache of valuable personal information, and they didn't secure it well enough. They make a lot of great titles, but frankly there's no shortage of those these days. I like my PS3, but if using the online service on it as it's designed to means I'll have to be concerned about information leaks and downtime, then I don't know that I'll go out of my way to support it until they do. I'll happily be there when they do.
I just changed all my information to 'Security Measure' and similar nonsense, then deleted my credit card info, which may have been expired anyway. I'll be purchasing PSN cards under the rare event that PSN actually gets an exclusive game I actually care about. And if Sony had a hard time selling me on PSN+ before, I've been successfully convinced to never pay Sony for a service, ever.
I rarely turn my PS3 on as it is, so Sony never saw much money from me in the first place. But at least one of the free games is Wipeout HD, which I've wanted forever, but not at 20-25 bucks. I'll probably snag inFamous too if I have enough free space on my quaint 40 GB hard drive.

@Andy... I actually still have Haze... and I did love that online mode where you spawned in the dark with your hands tied behind your back... (though maybe that's why you still like the game!) :)
kinda like how only a small percentage of xbox 360's red ringed, right? yeah, companies always say this stuff. how it's news, i dunno.
I sold my PSP to my little brother a couple years ago and completely forgot I had a PSN account. Thankfully, no credit card info was stored on it...though my full name and address was. I changed all my info after the system came back up, as I was under the impression that Sony doesn't give the option to cancel/delete accounts. I really have no need for it, so maybe I should give them a call.
I wonder what kind of crazy nonsense the Fatheads are going to get into this time!
I think I've watched every single episode of that show at least three times. Such a classic.

Even if its 1% who canceled their PSN's, thats still around 7 million users who could potently be new 360 or PC gamers and spend their money on sony's competitors. Just playing devils advocate here though...
to all those that traded in their PS3s without changing their PSN passwords/deleting their account and CC info, i wonder how they will react (or how long it will take them to blame sony) when someone buys their system and goes hog wild on the PS store.

Shit, man, I'm in the middle of an epic Lair battle with my dragon and shit. Maybe later? (You know, after our bi-weekly Yaris tournament?)

I dunno, man. There was that retail employee in Belgium that all the gaming bloggers quoted. We should get up with him, and see what he thinks.
I would've cancelled if you didn't have to jump through 4000 hoops to do it. They make it so easy to create 10 accounts for one person and impossible to get rid of them. I love this 70 million number they always spout off.
I really loved Rocko's modern life, too bad that this cartoon has not much love as courage, don't get me wrong I liked that dog, but Rocko's was always my favorite. However is good to see some Rocko's love around here.
99/100ths is also a fraction, Sony. We all know how you are keen on twisting the numbers so they look really good for you. Like those 77 million PSN subscribers; my roomate has 4 PSN accounts on his PS3, so I'll bet that number is a great representation of how many real account holders their really are...
I'm actually pretty pissed the Demon Souls servers are down. I was playing that offline and enjoying it but now I want to enjoy it to its fullest with others. :(
Maybe that's because PSN accounts are free. A more telling statement would be on the number of people that removed their credit card information from psn and how well the PSN store does once it comes back
Anyone else remember the episode of Rocko's Modern Life this pic is from? I do! 'Oh Baby, oh baby, oh baby.' 'Rocko?' 'Mrs. Bighead?' Lol!
What's the percentage for people that didn't want their account deleted but will just stop using PSN?
