Sony confirmed earlier this week that personal and account information of millions of PlayStation Network and Qriocity was likely to be compromised. Sony said the thieves may have made off with PSN/Qriocity login information, passwords, email addresses, home addresses and more. The most disturbing possibility is that they may have also obtained credit card numbers and expiration dates. Sony said it doesn’t have any evidence that credit card data has been stolen, but it isn’t ruling out that possibility. When faced with this situation, it’s best to take all the necessary precautions. We’re going to try to help you protect yourself from identity theft.

Sony just confirmed that PSN account information for its customers may have been completely compromised. From this point on, you are strongly urged to check on any financial accounts that may be associated with your PlayStation Network payment information. Sony believes the hacker or hackers may have gotten access to credit card information including the credit card number and expiration date. The worst has indeed come true.

Released in 2005, the Gizmondo had promise.

The technical specs made it seem like it could’ve done pretty well. It was another handheld that seemed partially like a PDA or smart phone and partially like a handheld gaming system. It also had two separate units released. There was an ad-supported unit for $229 and an ad-free unit for $400. The ad-supported unit was part of the way that the Gizmondo company tried to put a bit more of the financial support for the handheld onto the consumer.

Unfortunately for Tiger Telematics, the handheld actually less than 25,000 units sold. It had 14 games that were on a “to-be-released” list from launch.

A recent story on Nintendo Wii Fanboy reveals the truth behind the supposed Nintendo Power cover announcing a Wii version of Kingdom Hearts. It seems some internet prankster borrowed an image created by deviantArt artist mandi-chan and photoshopped a fake Nintendo Power issue.

I guess that explains why I wasn’t able to recreate the page by visiting the Nintendo Power subscription site. I was suspicious of it as well, due to the usage of Sora and Roxas to promote a title which would likely not include Roxas.
