I contacted the UK PlayStation Network team, to see if they can track the person down and punish him.
Anyone could get there account hijacked, because if it is someone from a message board you have visited, knows the following things:
*One of your email addresses
*The place you were born in
*Your PSN username
Then all they need to do is first enter your email address, with an unsuccessful password, they then need to go to forgot password and then enter your place of birth.
They can then change your password that way, even if your password is a mix of letters, dashes and numbers, which I have always done.
Final Thoughts
The only places people can find my PSN username are the following:
*GTPlanet
*AVForums
*GameSpot
Which could mean the person may be from one of the following three places above.

If I buy Warhawk should I get a headset for it?

I am thinking of buying Assassin's Creed. Best Buy has it on sale for $37.99 right now. I got a gift card for Christmas that has $30 on it, along with $15 in Reward Zone gift certificates. What do you think of the game for that price or should I get something else?

If you like God Of War Style games, but with Wide Open movement (no restrictions as to what way you can go) definatly buy it. The beginning where I'm at is REALLY REALLY REALLY WEIRD, But it gets better...

my nephew just got an 80 gig ps3 and I'm taking some games over this weekend to show him what it can do, whats the best way to take game saves over there and do I actually need to copy them on to the drive or can the saves be read directly from media?

You may be able to save your game files on a flash drive and bring it over to his house, because since it is the 80GB version he has the flash readers.

well I figured I would be able to do that, but I was wondering if by creating certain folders I would be able to let it read from any of the available card slots or even my psp...

Go to Games>Add-Ons I think. It may be under Newest Add-Ons from the root menu as well.
Edit: Ok, its actually under View All>N>Need For Speed Pro Street. "NFS Collectors Upgrade"
And they spelled the Zonda F "Pagini". 👎

Ok, this pisses me off... I got Guitar hero, but before i even opened the case, i upgraded my ps3 to versian 2.10? whatever the newest is... Now whenever I play GH3, They ask me to upgrade to 1.03 or something stupid, I can hit No, and i keep playing, but it interupts me sometimes half way through a song?!

Wait it doesn't email your password to you, it just shows it on screen, without answering a security question?
Or it could be a non-member scouring those sites to find someone's account to hijack. If I had to guess though, short of someone on here being a prankster, which I doubt as they haven't owned up at this point, I would say it was most likely a GameSpot member.
Just hold the PS button down for a few seconds.
Besides, why shut it down when you can join our Folding@Home team?
Yes, it helps out a lot in the team games. It can be irritating when a team member is running around, appearing to not aid the team and he can't tell you what he is trying to do. Plus, if you are trying to hold a zone or something you can call in help. I have a few times where I was holding a zone and about four guys from the other team come at me and I just say, "I need help in the center base," or something similar and a few seconds later three Warhawks from my team come swooping in. Or in Capture the Flag games you call out that you have the flag and need support, then just before the killing shot comes in a Warhawk drops a few missiles on to their guys.
If you plan it really well you can be going in for the flag and have a teammate drop a TOW missile (huge explosion) on their defenders giving you an open base to run into.
Team cooperation can sometimes make or break a game. Plus, the Jabra BT125 headset that comes in the package received a favorable review from Consumer Reports.
I know there is a thread on sharing game saves, so that might have some answers. But I don't believe it will read them from a memory card of any kind because the games themselves look for it on the hard drive.

Under Network on the XMB you will see the Folding@Home logo. Click on it and answer any questions it has and it will download the software. Then you setup your account.
Then you can go to our Folding@Home GTP Team thread:
https://www.gtplanet.net/forum/showthread.php?t=92758&highlight=Folding@Home
That will give you the team number and whatnot. You sign up and if you set it up you can have Folding turn on just whenever your system goes idle or you turn it on. The latest update included the ability to play music on the hard drive while Folding as well.
And your PS3 will not spontaneously combust. I have yet to see a case of overheating with mine. Make sure you have your PS3 where it will get good air flow and all that stuff. Heck, an editor at 1Up.com actually posted a story about how his PS3 running idle in a cabinet with his XBox360, that was being played at the time, caused the 360 to overheat and die all while the PS3 just turned up the fan speed a bit.
PS3s are known for loud fan noises, but if they are placed in a way to help them stay cool they run much quieter.
Anyway, my PS3 hasn't been off for more than just a few minutes at a time since I got it in June, and those few times were to reset my Internet connection or get out of a frozen demo. Basically, it has been restarted, but not shut down.

Do you have a memory stick or any another storage device that connects via USB? The PS3 should be able to pick the device up and see whatever content is on it (if you select "See All"). If you want to do it via a network (directly from PC to PS3 wirelessly - you can stream this way too so you don't have to put the files directly onto the PS3), then you'll have to wait for another response...
