I don't think I ever used my card on PSN (I don't recall ever using it with the keyboard attachment on the PS3 controller and trying to type an email is a pain in thee ass on a regular PS3 controller NVM a CC number, but I will be keeping my eyes open)

I hear ya, but personally I'd rather not have it hanging over my head ... lot easier to take care of it now rather than a year from now when you're on a cruise ship in the middle of the Caribbean with a dead VISA card ... 'cuz that's how my life goes ...

I heard someone in the US was trying to start one/had started one, but getting a class action lawsuit certified up here is a whole other kettle of fish (and just as stinky)

I've heard of a few in the early stages; accusing Sony of not taking sufficient safeguards of protecting personal information ... I'm sure it'll get worse if anyone actually loses any money from this by fraud.

Then there are those who think they should sue because PSN has been down for a week. Rolleyes

The credit card companies are prepared for the fiasco, though; CIBC already had pre-recorded messages referring to the Sony issue on the customer service number to get you connected to the right service rep.

Lol

I'm sure they do every time they send their game in to get fixed with RROD. Of course, it's only fair since I chuckle every time I see an XBox HDDVD drive for sale on Kijiji. Wink

I've still got my 60GB (upgraded to 250GB) launch PS3 from 2006. Angel

I still have a launch-model 60GB with an upgraded 250GB drive too... and a new BD drive... those Blurays do run out eventually.
