Show 85 is live! | No Prisoners, No Mercy

Ready, set, go….

After 26 days offline the Playstation Network is back up, is down, is up (well you get the idea) as 77 million users try to download mandatory patch 3.61 to their PS3s and reset their passwords. Word is that Sony is planning a “Welcome Back” package that includes a free month for Playstation Plus users, DC Universe and Everquest II. Rumors are that the package will also include a gift certificate for your local pharmacy for sedatives that will lull you into a false sense of security that your data is once again safe…anywhere online for that matter (We will admit we aren’t sure about that last bit).

So what better time than a special report on the subject discussing what happened, what the future may hold for Sony and what is happening with Anonymous?
