Oh shit
I'm sorry dudeHow did they get into your psn account ? Is your email account compromised ?
Also did you have 2-Step Verification turned on ?
I liked it. Just the ending is a bit of a non-ending, as I expected, but still. You should definetely play it if you were a fan of the first. (Given your avatar, I guess so.)

Did anyone pickup the Xbox One S Boxing Day Bundle (500g, Gears of War 4, Gears Ultimate, Halo Collection and Halo 5)?
Due to the double trade in value on December 22nd I just realised I have $200ish in credit that I wouldn't mind putting towards that console.
A few quick questions:
After downloading those 4 games, how much space is left on the 500g hard drive?
Are the 4 game download codes seperate? I already have Gears of War 4 and would much rather sell the code them be forced to redeem it.

Just called and got my account back. I had no credit card registered so it was rather painless but it still sucked.
The last game I've played was ironically watch_dogs 2...

off topic but anyone here from the durham region area? thinking about moving out from my parents house to my own apartment maybe with my brother, yall suggest one of those basement/apartment type places or not? we're both employed
I'm not sure on the second question, but if I'm remembering right, those four downloads/installs eat up around 240GB. With patches and updates it may be a little more.
Did you turn on 2FA now?
Halo 5 alone is about 90 GB and MCC is about 60 GB.

Looks like people have answered the hdd space part but if you are getting the bundle from EB it appears that h5 and gears 4 are physical copies and the other 2 are digital. They also give you a free choice of wwe 2k17 or nba 2k17. If you're credit is at EB that is.

I thought I did but it didn't seemed like it.

Yea what the fuck's going on.Isn't it fun to blame people for getting hacked?
How's this laptop?
https://www.microsoftstore.com/stor...nature-Edition-2-in-1-PC/productID.5057684700
Seems pretty good for the price? Though using an older gen processor. Mainly thinking of using it for video editing, Photoshop, and some of my coding stuff (possibly some games as well like DotA)

No one's getting blamed. Chill.Isn't it fun to blame people for getting hacked?
They have a Dell i5 for $50 cheaper than that. Not sure how great it is (seems really polarizing based on reviews), but it seems like better bang for the buck.

Unfortunately, 15 inches is too big for me. I was looking at the i7 version on the one I linked. I also found this one:

The "Fucking Sony" part seems to imply otherwise.

what problems? i've been using since day 1 and had no issues
Not by the person who was originally quoted.
There are no problems with it. You should enable it on any service you have available.

You are right, it's always been reliable. Every time I see a "I got hacked on PSN" it's because people don't bother to put on 2FA, use same passwords, or fall for phishing sites (free $50 PSN card! Click here!).
It's frustrating to see people blame Sony for no reason.
Hold the fuck up, the "fucking Sony" part was directed at them refusing to help until another day. I think that's perfectly reasonable, to expect them to help today not tomorrow, especially if you have credit cards plugged into their service, I mean I fucking hope that goes without saying. Sure people are probably on holiday that's understandable, but if you are running a giant marketplace, you better have people available to fix any security concerns, holiday or not.
Now, whether or not the person was using two factor, I don't think it's reasonable to put the blame on them for getting hacked. Could they have prevented it? Yea. But the primary person at fault is the lowlife who targets people's accounts.

but ReddishGUI said he can't do anything until tomorrow, not Sony.
Also it went pretty smooth in getting his account back.
Isn't that because Sony told him so?
At least that's how interpreted it.

Are there any deals on PS+ cards or am I too late?
ReddishGUI

They have 24/7 live chat(I think) but you need a valid account(not hacked) to use it.
I still saw some $50 PS+ cards at the source.
Man, they fucking banned me from Live Chat because I contacted them twice about a refund of DriveClub. I bought it during a sale and then had a physical copy from a friend. Since I didn't particularly like the game, I tried getting a refund. First person said no, second person said they looked at my support chat history and it was against the terms to keep asking them so they banned me. Used the phone support and got a refund in 5 minutes.
Fucking Sony.
;P

FuckSonyingneeds to improve their customer service.
Like any big company, for every interaction that goes badly, there are thousands that don't. People tend to make a big deal out of poor customer service and completely ignore good support which is why we see so many more complaints rather than kudos. Someone who was very happy with the help they got isn't going to run to an internet forum to give praise while a session that's going badly will have that same person posting while it's still going on.
Many places still have the $50 PS+ cards available. Lots at Best Buy when I checked yesterday. Also saw them at The Source as well.

For sure, I still think they should have a 24/7 line for cases like this. I thought they did. They have a 24/7 chat but like ReddishGUI said you need a PSN account to use it which is useless when you're account is not yours anymore.
When you get hacked, the more time that passes the less chance you have to get your account back.
Upcoming Deals
These are for Amazon.CA.
Sorry, I was too slow on the posting for Disgaea 4.
Lightning Deal all claimed for Disgaea 4, but it says you can still order at the discounted price. I assume "waitlist available" means your order will be fulfilled if Amazon obtains additional stock.
Disgaea 4: A Promise Revisited - PS Vita
Link to product page
Regular Price: $39.99 + tax
Sale Price: $23.13 + tax
========
And the next deal goes live at 17:40 ET (or 17:10 ET with Prime). Not sure what the discounted price will be.
Stella Glow - Nintendo 3DS
Link to product page
Regular Price: $49.95 + tax
Sale Price: $39.99 + tax (as per gaboumafou)
Not sure what this game is all about, but maybe someone out there is interested in picking it up.

No actually. Not trying to blame him at all. I thought I had set my account up as well. But recently changed my password and noticed that there seems to be two types of security. One was a 5 digit pin which I don't recall doing. And another was a code that got sent via text to me. I don't recall getting a text the first time either. It's all rather confusing so I can see how someone might think they have it set, and not really have it.

Aw, missed Disgaea 4. Though that's really for the best, I own so many Disgaea games and have never even come close to finishing either incarnation of Disgaea 3 so whatever.
"Waitlist available" just means there are still people who have it in their cart but haven't yet checked out. If they don't check out within the allotted time, they lose their claim on the deal, allowing someone from the waitlist to get it instead. No new stock gets allotted (and in fact I think Disgaea 4 is still available for purchase at the normal price).
Stop making a joke dude. There's no such thing as deal on PS+.
Ah, that makes more sense. Thanks for clearing that up!
So looking at stuff I have to get through, aside from Dead Rising 4 and Bioshock, I don't have any single player experiences until Horizon in late February. I was thinking of getting either Dishonored 2 or Watch Dogs 2, which one to get? Leaning towards Dishonored, how lengthy/meaty is it? I remember I finished the first in two sittings.
Halo 5: Limited Edition is $19.99 @ Amazon.ca

Really enjoyed dishonored 2 and I'm currently having a fun time with wd2.
WD2 is the meatier game but dishonored 2 is quite replayable.
You can't go wrong with either of them imo.
