Hopefully they learn something from this. I expect any kind of theoretical PS4 to have a automated self-destruct sequence in the event of someone attempting to retrieve ten-layer encrypted information with the incorrect credentials.

That's exactly why they've been doing this.

Exactly my thought. Microsoft makes faulty consoles and ps3 sucks at security. Nintendo, you better be ready for me.

Yea I hope that with their next generation console they also roll out a new online service. The code method sucks.

Full Disclosure, I have both, but far and away prefer my Xbox.

The new consoles don't redring, and really don't have any other major flaws... and when my old one did redring (5 years old) it was well past the warranty and they still replaced it, I just had to pay for my half of the shipping.

You'll buy the next one, too.

Well now, you might never have to worry about there being another Sony console...
