Crash Bandicoot was the shizzz.  I wish they'd come out with a new one.

I only played two games on my ps and crash was one of them.

That was the original  MSRP for the higher model, back in 2006... PS3 prices have been dropping pretty much since it first came out. My PS3 was $399 this Christmas for the 160gb, bigger then either original model, plus 2 controllers and the Blu-Ray remote.

Really?  I payed 399 for my 250gb slim.  Only one controler and no blu-ray remote though.  Yeah they were rediculously high priced right at the beggining of thier release.  They still were up untill the release of the slim units.

Might be off... Looked it up, the bundle I thought it was from Walmart with 2 controllers, 2 games (I would never play), Blu-ray remote, and the 160gb slim for $388. They had another bundle you got a $100 gift card if you bought the 160gb with 1 controller for $299. And then we just tacked on the extra controller and bluray remote.

Yeah...it was down in the $299 range for the 160GB with a single controller and a copy of Killzone 3, so I got one at that point, altho I never play the game.

Not sure if this is relevant to this particular situation or not but someone has gotten a hold of my information and has made 3 transaction on my card today.  The same card that I used on the Sony network.  Two small transactions were made to computer stores here in the states and one larger transaction for almost $230 for a plane ticket in Greece.  Just thought I'd give you guys a heads up and keep an eye on your accounts for which ever ones that you were using on this network.  I cancelled the card and I'm having a new one sent out asap.  Good thing I get text messages on my phone to alert me to the issue and was able to draw the rest of my money out in cash before they could get the rest.  I should be able to get the money back but it's going to be a process like most things usually are.  Just sucks.  Grrrrrrr.

I also check my accounts online daily, so I would have caught it the next day had they not....BUT....thankful I have a bank that will cover things like this..and then they go thru the trouble of recouping their money

 

check with your bank (or CC company)   they may do the same

Yes, thankfully they reimbursed the money back into my account just a little bit ago.  Just have to wait for a new card to arrive but at least I have it back.  Friggin crooks!

Sorry to hear you got hit, I never put a card on there, my netflix account is the only password they can get from my account!

Yeah I used it to purchas and download a couple of games on the network.  I don't think I'll do it again with my new card once it arives though.  Fortunately it didn't take long to get my money back but still, it sure is nerve racking recieving those text messages and seeing your account being drained.  I'm not 100% this happened because of the attack on sony but it certainly does seem suspicious.  I've never had problems like this before from paying my bills.  I usually use a prepaid card that I just transfere money onto when I want to make a purchase online and just make the purchase right then and there.  That way there's never any money sitting on the card that people can get to at any given time incase that info gets hacked.  Looks like I'll start doing that again.
