Sony’s PlayStation Network Down Again

Great Gaming Crusade: "The PlayStation Network is, once again, down.

We aren’t totally sure if this is a maintenance issue, hack or some other situation, but we are looking into it. An error code of 80710016 is given with a message of “An error has occurred. You have been signed out of PlayStation Network.” It doesn’t specifically give the undergoing maintenance message, but it still very well could be that."

Oh so it's not only me getting this error.

sdtarm4669d ago

who knows what happened now

MaxXAttaxX4668d ago (Edited 4668d ago )

I was just online today.

[edit]
Yup, it's up. That was quick maintenance.

BeOneWithTheGun4668d ago

Oh noes! My car is in this small building and will not start! The hood is up OMGZ! What is happening! My car is broken!!!!

Wait, it's getting an oil change.

LoVeRSaMa4668d ago

Look what Anonymous has done, every time PSN is down for a routine maintenance everyone flinches..

SilentNegotiator4668d ago

So it was down for an hour for maintenance, and now we get an article declaring it down "again" (as if this were comparable to 'the' incident) and it reaches 600+ degrees.

Good job, N4G.

Anon19744668d ago

It's always been that way though. Every single time the PSN would go down in the past for maintenance or even if someone couldn't get on because his internet was out you'd get articles on N4G screaming "PSN IS DOWN! LOOKIT! LOOKIT! THAT'S WHAT YOU GET FOR FREE!"

It's ridiculous.

The PlayStation Network will be taken offline for maintenance on Tuesday, July 5, 2011 5:00 PM PT - 6:00 PM PT. We hope to have these services up as soon as possible.

During this time you may:

Not be able to access the PlayStation®Store

Have difficulty signing in to the PlayStation®Network

Not be able to play online gamesSee a maintenance page when attempting to access the PlayStation®Network

Note: When you log into the PlayStation Network, a message may appear which states, "the PlayStation Network has been suspended". This does not mean that your account has been suspended; it simply means the PlayStation Network has been taken offline.

Please wait until the maintenance window has passed before attempting to connect to the PlayStation Network again. We apologize for any inconvenience this may cause.

solar4668d ago

at Sony's, MS's, or Nintendo's whim for online gaming. no thanks.

mrv3214668d ago

Steam went offline too recently.

Ranshak4668d ago

@MRV321

Steam may go offline however you are not at steams mercy to go online :)

You can still keep playing your games online even if steam is down, not the same with PSN or XBL.

mastiffchild4668d ago

And then you're at the "whim" of your ISP anyway and we all know what great people they are, don't we? Thing is you're always relying on SOME other git for your online and they all have their downtime. My ISP is down more than Live or PSN on average anyway.

solar4668d ago

but Steam down for an hour isnt "news" mrv321. and Mastiffchild, that is one horrible ISP you got there :P

Maintenance is scheduled for the 6th isn't it? *sigh* Oh well, just have to wait it out I guess.

The Rumored PSN Revamp Preparation?

EDIT: It's back up with no update or changes :(

Warprincess1164669d ago

Probably it because they putting up the Japanese PSN

Neko_Mega4669d ago

Sounds more like a good reason, right now I'm not having any problems and by the looks of it my friends aren't.

dkgshiz4669d ago

Its obviously to do with Japan. Way too big of a coincidence other wise.

Rolling the Dice: Do Modern RPGs Miss the Point of Team-Based Play?

It seems it was long time ago. A bunch of friends spending hours on end playing RPG games, sitting around the table with the box of cold pizza. Excited about the story, listening to the Game Master, they were completely engaged in the worlds only visible to them and their imaginations.

The GM is the programmer, and in MMOs and co-ops, you can play with others. If you want to ONLY use your imagination for the visuals, read a book.

1) Hope they put it on disc this time.
2) Hope this is a positive for Neptune coming over as well.

Demons Souls5060d ago

If so, that's being developed & published by Idea Factory. Compile Heart has nothing to do with it (Thank God for that).

Godmars2905060d ago (Edited 5060d ago )

Thought Compile Heart was one of the companies lending characters.

Was also speaking in general as in regards to a US of Neptune. If these guys are offing a second game, NIS or Atlus, both of whom offer quirkier titles, will put that one out.

@kagon01:
My issue isn't - wholly - with the DL-only option, but the price. The first game should be $30. Maybe $40, and by that I mean $39.99. The only reason its $45 is the 360 disc version which has extras. Nevermind that by all rights its a PS2 game. Something that proabbly could have been done if the devs had the GOW2 engine or tools.

ClownBelt5060d ago

I approve of this god damn message.

Could have gotten my 60 bucks if they just put it on a disc.

Another exclusive damnn the ps3 keeps on rollin wit games awesome ;)

Jack-Pyro5060d ago

Is this a half decent SRPG, porn aside, cause if it is, i might just decide to go and buy it for the 360.

Anon73495060d ago

There's no porn just some sexual innuendos but that's it.

Also it is a great game by itself, maybe not graphically but everything else is top tier.

RedDevils5060d ago

so it had some kind of "top tier" porn story jk

ThanatosDMC5060d ago

Yup, it's a decent game. I just hate that a move has to go first before any attack options.
