Sony has been assuring gamers they will love playing under their real name on the PlayStation 4, worrying most gamers despite Sony’s rather dubious assurances that pseudonyms will be “supported.”
The hacker police accuse of tricking them into forcing 4 people to confess to making online death threats (or “Yuuchan” as 2ch has taken to calling him) has been charged with aircraft hijacking related offences, as police were forced to release him after having failed to make their initial charges stick.

Police say they have arrested the evil hacker who tricked them into forcing 4 innocents to confess to planning massacres, after he was caught on camera delivering a taunting digital message to police by cat – and Japan’s media has wasted no time in painting him as the archetypal creepy otaku.
The recent “LV0″ PS3 key leak rapidly led to the PS3 being cracked and a literal “free-for-all” return of full scale piracy to the platform – a situation Sony has chosen to tackle by threatening evil custom firmware users with a ban if they do not delete the wicked software from their consoles.

Barely had Senran Kagura Shinovi Versus been unveiled than its eager fans discovered the official site’s hidden secret – that they could remove the pesky swords obscuring their view of the heroine’s jiggling breasts.
Japan’s police chief has finally apologised for ruining the lives of 4 virus victims suspected of plotting mass murder, all falsely arrested on the belief that an IP address constituted irrefutable proof of guilt, and in several cases apparently coerced into admitting their guilt.
Police have released one of Sunrise’s anime directors after arresting him for threatening to go on a killing spree in Osaka’s otaku district, having ignored his protestations of innocence whilst doggedly maintaining “we have proof – your IP address!” – only to discover his PC was being remotely controlled by a virus inflicted on him by 2ch.

The campaign of Anonymous to free Japan from the bondage of unduly harsh copyright law has got off to a less than auspicious start after the group bumblingly hacked the wrong site, thinking it was humiliating the central government by defacing their site only to find it had instead ruined the site of a river works office in Ibaraki.
