Don't get pantie's in a bunch with me. I never said the xbox/microsoft brand wasn't unhackable. I merely said I find it rather funny that the "free" system was targeted first - before the apparently "far superior" security system microsoft has for it's paying customers.
Also, two things of note: First - Sony wasn't just hacked once, they were hacked twice. The problem was fixed and I read somewhere within that same week, a mere day or two later - they were rehacked and another 1,000+ credit card numbers were stolen. It almost makes you question of Sony merely "changed their password, then rechanged it back to what it was originally".
And Second - I fully believe at some point Microsoft will be targeted, and possibly even hacked. That's why I'm removing my credit card info. LAWLZ not like the card I had on file had anything of value. It was a refillable tax card that's empty now, but still.
All the same, regardless of the system, I hope they figure out whoever's behind this - because from what I've read, that's a shit ton of credit card numbers they grabbed.

Trust me, my panties are no where near being puckered. I guess I just took your message in a negative light.
I do doubt that the problem was ever fixed though. But who knows, there is alot of unknown information and even more rumours floating around.
I do wish I had access to my cloud saves so I could join in the fun and report my Universe ongoings.

As they were intended for PS owners. No offense to you, specifically, I just felt I needed to get what I said out - because I got fed up by all the Sony-3 owners out there bragging about their shit being free.
Yes, I'm still paying $60.00 a year.. but I'm also still online right now. Winner.
When Sony finally comes back online, and when they begin to offer me something I feel is useful - I might consider it. For now, however..
Blu-ray: I have a Samsung player, no need for one through Sony.
Exclusives: I have no clue what Sony exclusives are, but I personally enjoy L4D and that's an xbox exclusive; so Microsoft wins me there. I (once upon a time) enjoyed the Metal Gear Solid games.. and I considered a PS3 for that, then figured it'd be cheaper to rent it (and a system) than buy the whole thing for one game.
I heard rumors that Madden was being targeted by Sony to become an exclusive. I promise you, if Madden becomes a Sony exclusive - they'll buy my heart, by force. Until then - nothing Sony has, that Microsoft doesn't, as far as I'm concerned.
The problem being solved, then having it "go down" was told to me by a friend - who claimed to read it off a Sony board, or from a Sony rep.
I have no real understanding of how far this has gone, or what has truly happened beyond over 2,000-3,000 credit card numbers being stolen and banks issuing customers reports to change their cards and destroy them because of it. I've had several customers (Parents/Teens alike) coming into the video store telling me that much.
See, this is another thing that boggles my mind. I DO NOT have to be online to use the dl'ed characters and content I've saved to my harddrive. Why does Sony not have this - and if they do, why do you not do this?
Console wars? Seriously, guys?

Everyone is entitled to their console of choice and I've always said that I'll play a game on any system as long as its good. I don't care if it's Playstation, Xbox, Wii, or Virtual Boy, I just want to play good and enjoyable games.
I own a PS3 rather than an 360, because of the fact that as I grew up my best friend had a Playstation (then eventually PS2) so that's what I played. I stuck with the devil I knew, then the devil I didn't know.
That being said, I know alot more people who play Xbox, so my friend list would be greater on the 360 if I ever were to go that route.
I've never gloated about Sony having free online, but know that plenty of people do. But it is no way different then Xbox users gloating about something they have on their console that isn't available on Sony's.
I've followed the PSN network being down since the beginning on multiple sources including Sony's blog and I have never heard of it being fixed only to be hacked again. I'm not saying that that isn't true, just that this is the first time I've heard of it.
I'm a PlayStation Plus member and one of the perks of being a member is having the ability to save files online. Saving to the cloud is completely optional but I do it because I was getting very close to maxing up my hard drive.
I saved files of the games that I wasn't currently playing at the time onto my cloud to free up my hard drive. Because the PSN network is down, I haven't been able to go online to my cloud and retreive the files that I saved there.
That's why I have to be online if I want to play the characters that I've downloaded, as well as the saved file.

Will, you realize that as long as EA has exclusive rights to the NFL, the NFL would NEVER allow the Madden franchise to be exclusive. They wouldn't shut out half of the marketplace. And I don't know where you hear your rumors from, but I never heard of the Madden one, or the multi-hack one.

Yeah, no. I'm not console war'ing anyone. Just tossin' out random opinions.
As for my rumors, they've come from various places - friends, e-friends, gamefaqs, customers who rent games; mainly those people/places.

hmmmm Still after Wrestlemania.Not sure how to go from here /hooked on dragon age 2 again.
Im thinking on SD I'll have my CAW drop the title to Mr Ziggles then go on a losing streak.Nothing from there yet.
On Raw I got a potential Slater/Masters feud.

*sniff* You had me at panties.
Now then, my "Backlash" to Mania was a bit odd.. to say the least. I'm preparing for my draft, which I had originally 1 week before Backlash and now I've moved it back to a week after Backlash.
In the in between, several top talent have resurfaced in the WWE - including (RAW) Kurt Angle showing up to be a surprise partner to Kevin Nash, against Triple H and X-Pac.. and (Smackdown) Vader assaulting Sting after a match he had with Shane Douglas.
I'll give a Backlash report and updates on storylines either by tonight, or sometime soon.
My Backlash card was this..
US Championship: Tyler Black (c) v. Sheamus:
Intercontinental Championship: Scott Steiner (c) v. Christian w/ CM Punk:
Tag Team Championship: Impact Players (c) v. Beer Money:
WWE Championship: Edge (c) v. Randy Orton:
Grudge Match: Shawn Michaels & Kevin Nash v. Triple H & X-Pac:
World Championship: The Undertaker (c) v. Mick Foley:

US Championship: Tyler Black (c) v. Sheamus
Build-Up: The build-up was simple. Sheamus won a #1 Contender's match to earn a shot at the Championship he never lost. He defeated Ted DiBiase, the previous #1 contender - who also never got his title shot. Tyler Black is riding high off of his MITB victory at Mania - Sheamus is hoping he can sneak in, once again, and regain the Championship he held most of last year.
Match: Sheamus started the show by attacking Black from behind, while Black was waiting inside the ring. Sheamus wanted to put the match away early, but was unable to hit anything and allowed Black to regain himself, and come back. The action spilled outside, where Black went to work with high flying action from inside the ring to the outside.
In the end, Sheamus missed a Brogue Kick, only to be caught by Black's Superkick and a quick pinfall. Tyler Black retains.
Intercontinental Championship: Scott Steiner (c) v. Christian w/ CM Punk:
Build-Up: Christian defeated Drew McIntyre to become the #1 contender. Unfortunately the backstory with Christian is that following Wrestlemania, he lost a "Winner Take All" match to CM Punk and was forced to join the S.E.S. -- Punk demanded Christian compete in this title match, and should he win, Punk wants Christian to lay down for him on Smackdown; giving Punk the title.
Match: A very boring match until the end. Back and forth action between the two. Typical signature moves exchanged, as well as some finisher attempts failed on both ends.
The ending came when CM Punk ran down to ringside, distracting the official when Steiner hit his Flatliner. Christian was beaten, but Punk had the official's attention. This caused Steiner to turn his back on Christian, only to be dropped with a Killswitch Engage. Christian wins the IC Title!
Build-Up: On one side, you have Beer Money who wanted to cash in their Championship rematch clause. On the other side, you have the re-debut of the New Age Outlaws with the reformed D-X, along side X-Pac & Triple H. Beer Money and the Outlaws had been fighting on Raw, leading up to this show. The Outlaws wanted the title match, but it went until the show before the GM announced who would officially get the match.
As the match was announced at the top of the show, only moments later was it shown that the Impact Players had been laid out in the back and the Outlaws would once again demand another match with Beer Money - for the right to become #1 contender's.
Match: Amazing match; much better than the Mania match between the Impact Players and Beer Money. The action went back and forth, as well as all over ringside and up the ramp. Both teams showed true passion and hatred for each other.
Robert Roode hit a spinebuster on Roaddogg and everyone thought it was over, until Billy Gunn barely made it back into the ring to break-up the pinfall. On the other side, Billy Gunn hit a Fame-asser on Roode, only for James Storm to interfere and break it up. The final moment of the match came when Roaddogg got fed up and grabbed a chair - hitting Storm in the face/head, only for Gunn to attack Roode while Roaddogg picked up the pin on Storm! New Age Outlaws win.
WWE Championship: Edge (c) v. Randy Orton:
Buid-Up: Randy Orton was robbed out of a fair match at Wrestlemania when Chris Jericho interfered early and helped Edge take home a quick victory. Since then, Orton has made sure Jericho won't become a factor - as of a Last Man Standing match following Mania that put Jericho on the shelf.
Since then, Edge has done everything possible to hurt Orton - including setting him up in a handicap match with Triple H & X-Pac, until Kevin Nash joined Orton to even the odds. This is Orton's last opportunity at the title, until he'll fall to the back of the line.
Match: Extreme hatred went everywhere in this match that resulted in a blood bath, and amazingly a lot of illegal weapons that the official never managed to see. Edge and Orton both hit a lot of signatures, and Edge busted Orton open with a con-chair-to; but was unable to put him away with anything he used.
In the end, Edge missed with a spear, only for Orton to capitalize with an RKO! Randy Orton wins the WWE Championship! After the match, Orton delivered the same type of payment to Edge that Edge has been giving him; Orton punted Edge in the skull, leaving him laying in the ring.
Grudge Match: Shawn Michaels & Kevin Nash v. Triple H & X-Pac:
Build-Up: Friends turned Enemies, and once Enemies become friends. Battle-lines are being drawn in the sand between a group of once famous friends. Shawn Michaels and Triple H had unresolved issues carry over from Mania, that saw Triple H attack Kevin Nash on the Raw to follow.
Also on that Raw, the world witnessed X-Pac turn on Kevin Nash, to side with Triple H and reform D-X. Enter in the likes of Shawn Michaels returning 6 days before Backlash, and calling out Triple H & X-Pac, Scott Hall coming back to re-side with Kevin Nash, and the Outlaws to return and join HHH & X-Pac, and you have two factions of former friends lighting up all over the place.
Match: Purely amazing MOTN quality here. HBK & X-Pac began the match and it was a fast paced move for move type of match, until X-Pac laid HBK out with a spin kick then tagged in HHH. Triple H slowed the match down, and even busted HBK open in the corner.
D-X held control of everything until HBK made a hot tag to Nash, who cleared the ring and nailed X-Pac with a Jackknife in the middle of the ring. Unable to put the match away though, Triple H saved his partner from falling.
In the end, it was some Sweet Chin Music to Triple H, while Nash & X-Pac fought outside the ring. Shawn Michaels & Kevin Nash win.
World Championship: The Undertaker (c) v. Mick Foley:
Build-Up: In what can only be considered an odd road, Cactus Jack was coming off a huge war with Shane Douglas at Mania - only to be aided by Douglas, in becoming the #1 contender. Meanwhile, the Undertaker settled the score with Sting at Mania.
During the lead-up to this match, Shane Douglas would make his name known to the Undertaker, with multiple run-ins and attacks on the Deadman. On the opposite side Cactus Jack had several mini moments with Sting.
On the final Smackdown before the ppv, the Undertaker teamed with Scott Steiner to take on Cactus Jack and his mystery partner - Shane Douglas. It was Taker putting away Douglas to win then, but Jack left Taker laying after all was said and the show ended.
Match: Neither man seemed to care that rules applied, and it showed as both guys began before the bell ever rang. Jack attacked the Undertaker as he made his way to the ring. The action only made it to the ring for a moment before the finish came.
Jack was busted open and a bloody mess. The Undertaker was attacked by Shane Douglas, but was able to fight him to the back. In the end, it was a Last Ride to Cactus Jack - through an announcer's table, as both men ended up being counted out!

Intresting how your going with Black.So how do you plan to do the MITB match when Black?Are you gonna pretend that he cashed it in and change it on the title settings?
Btw just here unless the WWE title is going on a long feud I wouldve have Black put Sheamus over with Sheamus becoming US champ and dominating the rankings while Black slowly turned heel threatening to cash in his MITB untill he finally does.
Moment of truth for Christian.I somehow see Christian being saved by someone.

Tyler Black is similar to how Punk was for the first couple of years. He's becoming a mega baby-face and being cheered by everyone, but he won't be rushed into the Main Event.
He's had a few good/great matches with Chris Jericho, and Sheamus - and he put up a good showing in a non title, champion/champion match against Edge, but overall he has until the night of next year's Mania to cash in; and even when he does, depending on who against who's to say he even wins? He may make history by becoming the first MITB winner to cash in and NOT win.
Well, there is 4 weeks until Extreme Rules (May ppv) and in week 2 we'll begin our week-long draft process. Who knows who'll go where, and if Christian will even have to put up with CM Punk, or if so - if he'll be doing it alone.
I miss being able to have 3-way Tag team matches. I also wish they'd freakin put in a Tag Team Turmoil concept already. I get that the WWE shits on their tag division now, but that's no reason to believe the fans playing these games would do the same.
Truth be told, the match was great - but I expected run'ins on both sides. One of the Outlaws for D-X, and a special return for HBK and Nash.. that return will now be "forced", likely on the Raw-after show.
I didn't like finishing a ppv with a "draw", either. However I have a specific set-up for this feud and it was not designed to end here. I would've liked Orton/Edge to be the ppv Main Event, but truth be told; they didn't even (originally) have a spot on the card. A f'n diva's match was in their spot. So I changed it and switched the belt myself.
As for Taker/Foley, it'll be taking a trip down memory lane come Extreme Rules for what SHOULD be their rematch.

I will Mark out if he uses it the smackdown or raw before wrestlemania.Because that'll be the latest anyone has ever done it.
I'm wondering how to go with Santino who is my current MITB holder.To make it fair I used the attribute customizer to get him to 90.

Will Christian works one day a week but that takes a toll on him.Doing it himself would be hard.Give him a diva to help him out if you catch my drift
That wouldnt be that bad actually. But i'd prefer a 3-way tag match just because in a Tag Turmoil its 2v2 so you know if someone will blindside you or not while in a 3-way tag match(especially hardcore)you could get hit by a random chair or something.
I remember having a No.1 Contenders match for the US title and having Heath Slater vs Justin Gabriel and I hoped Big Zeke or Wade would run in and I could make it a 4 way at WM but alas it was not to be.

I am about to play the Wrestlemania card at the end of my 1st year, and the MITB match is ridiculous.
Shane Douglas vs Pcicosis vs Brock Lesnar vs Abyss vs Rey Mysterio vs R-Truth.
Now I can see why Lesnar (a former IC champion), Truth and Rey are in there (although Truth has barely been used on the game), but the other 3? I cannot remember any of them winning more than 2 or 3 matches all year!
I was expecting to see guys like Christian, McIntyre, Austin and RVD- all high in the US/IC rankings get put into the match, but it seems completely random!
Quick question, how do you even cash in the MITB briefcase?

When you select any match with a champion in it it will ask if you want to cash in MITB. If you changed the Wrestlemania match participants then it became a regular, non-MITB ladder match.

Thanks dude, I finished WM today. I played the other matches before the MITB match as I knew it was going to be a long one, and I didnt have the time for that match.
When I loaded it up today, the participants had changed!?
Abyss vs Edge vs Morrison vs DDP vs Big Poppa Pump vs Taz
I played as Steiner in a 30 minute war with all men bleeding. So many tables and ladders broken, Edge taking one SICK fall from ring directly on to the ring steps.
Steiner worked on the belt for aggggges trying to get it down, only for the CPU to steal the title on the only occasion he attempted to get it! I was hoping for ANYONE other than Taz to win this match, but now he has a title shot at any time
They really need to make the title belt easier to get down, its stupid that it takes so fucking long!
So I just finally got a hold of this game and started the WWE Universe. Out of curiosity how do you guys go about doing the draft and can you custom pick number one contenders matches and what not? I haven't figured everything out yet and I know someone of you guys, I'm looking at Will and Norcs here, know your shit when it comes to this game.
I think some people do drafts just by flipping a coin or doing a quick computer program and then go to My WWE and switch the guy's brands.
And unfortunately you can't do number one contender's matches, but you can do title matches if you assign your champion a belt like the Cruiserweight title or the ECW Championship. Those can be defended at any time, so if you put it on your current champion then you can choose to defend either the title you put on them or the proper title they have. Alternatively you can go to My WWE and just reassign titles like that.
