Easy but I've already backed up my laptop onto my external which I believe is ntfs, it has to be fat32 to work with the PS3 doesn't it?

I have to wait until 9am tomorrow. God dammit they took 50 dollars I need.
If anyone sees heyhellowhatsnew on PSN please tell them to go gently caress themselves for me. Thanks. I have no idea how this is possible. I don't account share or anything. How would someone even know my birthday and my secret answer? I don't know anyone irl that's on my PSN list. FearOfABlackKnob fucked around with this message at Nov 16, 2010 around 08:31 |

I don't know if it happened earlier in this thread or the last general PS3 thread that a bunch of accounts got hacked, but it spurred me to put a random generated password on all my PSN accounts. *I'm not a pro, so I can't make this a protip.

No my birthday wasn't a part of my password, It's part of the thing I think they ask when they want to change your email. That's what this person did.

You can expand that to never using anything that can be acquired by even the most simplest of social engineering tactics as part of a password or secret question answer.

More importantly never have your credit card attached to your PSN account for any length of time. Always remove it right after buying something.

I got my PSN account hacked last month and I'm in the same boat of having no idea how that happened, as my password is mostly random and I don't fall to phishing scams. I got charged $150 instead of just 50 though.

FearOfABlackKnob posted:I don't even have a hacked PSP either. It's crazy. At least i'm getting my stuff back. I learned a valuable lesson. Well that's good.  That's really weird about the PSP store especially since you hadn't even used it in so long. I hope this isn't "a thing". Also, going to go ahead and strongly recommend those $5 trigger cover things. I have them on one of my DS3s, and have for a long time now, to the point where I really forgot about them. Well, in the course of playing Katamari with MY WIFE this weekend, we ended up swapping controllers and her DS3 doesn't have them. It's a huge, HUGE difference. Even just holding the controller is awkward without those things. So yeah, best $5 you'll ever spend. I tried playing RF:G without them, and it sucked, since L2/R2 are gas/brake like a lot of games.

I'm paranoid now too. *deletes credit card information from PSN* Edit: VVV Turns out you are on my friends list but it says you haven't signed in for 10 days. I would have thought that would have changed if they signed in on a PSP, or maybe it's just for your PS3 account. Weird stuff. Tufty fucked around with this message at Nov 16, 2010 around 16:40 |

Yeah i really can't complain because they were quick and professional and very nice. I heard horror stories here and on other sites but they get an A+ in my book. Considering it took 4 months for microsoft to fix my xbox, I appreciate Sony a lot more now.

This is pretty much why, even though I can opt for the convenience of linking my credit card, I prefer to just go to the store and buy a PSN points card. Plus it keeps my impulse buys down to an acceptable minimum.

Yeah I pretty much stopped leaving my CC info ever since someone added 20 bucks to my PSN wallet and purchased R&C for PSP. That person being my 4 year old nephew  e: also, I'm pretty sure that if you try to retrieve a PSN account with CC info nowadays, they ask you to either enter some of the info again or delete the info. Maybe the people who have been hijacking the accounts had been sitting on them for some time? Man-In-Madden fucked around with this message at Nov 16, 2010 around 20:46 |

FearOfABlackKnob posted:Not to save credit card stuff on anything because i'm too lazy to find my wallet. Well, I'm going to keep my CC info saved on my PS3. Maybe I'm getting cocky and will get my comeuppance one day, but I've been buying stuff online with CC's since the mid 90's and never had a problem once. I just pick passwords no one could guess and use security questions no one could know, normally because I make up imaginary answers. Pro tip: my first pet's name wasn't actually P00pdog One thing that confused me about your situation though, you had said some security question's answer had to do with your birthday, which is conceivable that someone could know, but then you said they actually got your account from the PSP store. Did you mean that that's where they used your security question to get access, or did you mean it wasn't the security question after all and they just hacked the PSP store somehow?

I went to use my move controller today and discovered that some sticky fingered bastard had gummed up the buttons. They have no give to them now and you have to push them really fuckin' hard to get a response. I tried to unscrew the case but the insides looked entirely too complex for my to fiddle with. Right now my going plan is to pick up some rubbing alcohol and use a cotton swab to try and clean whatever the gently caress's in there out. Any other suggestions?

I am a pro and those things are the worst security hole out there. "Create a safe password and protect it. Oh and by the way create another password that can be easily figured out through social engineering or brute force that can be used to get your safe password." Treat your "security question" as another password and don't put anything into it that someone could guess or get from your Facebook page. A birthday is the worst thing to use since someone could just pick a day at random and start scanning PSN accounts until they find one that lets them in with that.

We've got Lovefilm on the PS3 now in the UK and it's pretty nifty. If you're paying the £10 a month subscription in addition to your regular 2 DVDs at a time and unlimited rentals you also get unlimited hours of streaming from the PS3 store and they have a decently large selection already.

People have said that the licensing is different on a show-to-show basis, so some shows aren't available on devices other than your PC. I'm wondering how much backlogged content there is, because the PSN only advertises a handful of shows having backlogged episodes.

Music that is on my HD plays fine through the XMB but if I try to play it in-game it says wrong format. Just remembered this is a cd I bought through I-tunes. I'm guessing that format won't play in-game for some reason?

You probably couldn't use it on anything that doesn't have an i before its name.
