yeah that's some bullshit regardless, but given the amount of people who play COD i'd be willing to bet the majority don't go for that scheme, i definitely won't

basically since halo 3 you've been able to login with your XBL info on bungie.net, see lifetime stats (like ratios, headshots, total kills) for each weapon, map, gametype, etc. and then compare all that side by side with your friends or pros or whatever. you also have heatmaps that show where you die/kill a lot as well as which playlists you do best in.

honestly it was KIND OF cool like 4 years ago, but between the smoke being blown and the pricing structure I agree with the gaf:

Anyone else playing LA Noire right now. I'm currently in the middle of the second desk, the traffic desk, and I am in love with this game. They also have a black and white mode, which is the only way that the game should be played.

Hackers: “This is the beginning of the end for Sony”

A hacker group has threatened imminent and drastic action against Sony – when it finishes with PBS.

Lulzsec, the group claiming responsibility for yesterday’s Tupac-is-alive PBS hack as well as an attack on Sony BMG Japan last week, has dropped several dark hints that it’s plotting a major operation against Sony.

“We’re working on another Sony operation. We’ve condensed all our excited tweets into this one: this is the beginning of the end for Sony”, the group tweeted late last week.

“Our #Sonage (Sony + ownage) is going at maximum speed, there’s a lot to do”, it added later, clarifying early yesterday that it expected to begin the first phase of the attack within a day.

Missing its own deadline, the group admitted to becoming distracted by the PBS hack – during which it posted lists of passwords, usernames, and other administrative details apparently harvested from the US-based network.

“Sony happens when Sony happens – we’re celebrating our victory right now. The fun will never stop!” the most recent statement on the matter reads.

Lulzsec has not been implicated on the mid-April attack on the PlayStation Network, which continues to affect gamers.

The wave of attacks on Sony is believed to be in response to Sony's treatment of hacker George "GeoHot" Hotz, who was responsible in part for the PlayStation 3's root key being discovered. Not only did Sony sue Hotz, it tried to have the case tried in California, rather than New Jersey, and some believed it was using unfair tactics intended to balloon his legal fees. The two sides have since settled the case.

Who is LulzSec, Hacker of PBS? Are they hacking Sony again?

PBS was just hacked by a group of Internet vigilantes who put up a bogus story of Tupac Shakur and Biggie Smalls being alive and well in New Zealand. The hackers claimed it was revenge for what they thought was an unfair portrayal of Wikileaks in a PBS documentary.

If you think Anonymous did it, you’d be wrong. Instead, a new group called LulzSec (Lulz Security) did it.

LulzSec isn’t really new – it was just thrust into the spotlight for the first time while Anonymous previously perpetrated all the high-profile stunts. An earlier attack by LulzSec targeted Fox.com. They hacked the website, posted the passwords of Fox employees, altered several LinkedIn accounts of these employees, and hijacked the Fox15 twitter account. It also previously targeted Sony's music website in Japan.

LulzSec claims to be a separate entity from Anonymous. In an interview with Forbes, LulzSec member Whirlpool said the group hacks for “lulz and justice.”

After its PBS exploit, LulzSec claims to be planning bigger things. On its Twitter account, it stated it was hacking Sony right now.

“Hey @Sony, you know we're making off with a bunch of your internal stuff right now and you haven't even noticed? Slow and steady, guys,” boasted one Tweet early in the morning on Tuesday.

“#Sownage (Sony + Ownage) Phase 1 will begin within the next day. We may have a pre-game show for you folks though. Stay tuned,” warned a Tweet from May 29.

“We're working on another Sony operation. We've condensed all our excited tweets into this one: this is the beginning of the end for Sony,” stated another Tweet from May 27.

A Sony spokesperson did not immediately respond to IBTimes' request for comments.

AT&T may be another target of LulzSec.

One Tweet from May 17 read “AT&T aren't going to enjoy what The Lulz Boat is cooking.” Another read “We've got some curious items from the AT&T ship, and our FBI-related plunder is still on course. Smooth sailing! “
