It’s the beginning of a new month, and that means there’s no better way to celebrate another celestial calendar moment on this Earth than with another bout of downtime. - PSLS
Once again the media jumps the gun. I got the same error, but it only lasted for about 15 minutes. Probably just planned down time or something. Of course, that won't stop articles like this from coming up saying psn is hacked or something.
First of all, this article says nothing about the psn being hacked, just about it being down.
Second, articles pop up for xbl downtimes as well, even if they last only a few minutes and are back online by the time the article is submitted here.
The media are no more against or for a gaming console than any other out there. They all write them up for spreading any useful info, for clicks and hits due to the generated revenue.
Why do we need an article to pop up every time these services go down though? Half the time it's not even PSN that's down, it's the persons ISP(last week was TW cable).
If it's an unusually long time then yeah I can see an article, but these are just articles to get people saying how bad the service is.
oh my god, i couldn't access PSN/live a couple days ago, totally written an article of how they suck... u guys didn't read it, why not.... oh that's right, i called my friend first and asked, hey can you log into psn/live, my friends reply was yes...ok hes just down the road, not in a different area code... next step, called my ISP, ok hold time... 30 mins later still holding, ok something must be going on. rebooted everything again, finally connected... Damn PSN/Live its all your fault for getting hacked again....
Wow..more down time. Well lets just hope that 5 days from now Sony doesn't send us all notices that our personal and cc information has been stolen from psn like last time.
I guess it depends what region you are in. I couldn't get on about 90 mins ago, it gave me 8071053D error, then tried again it gave me a message saying the PSN is undergoing maintenance.
Yeah it sucks having free trails with every xbla game, and being able to send voice messages to my friends and having a party chat where I can hear everyone really clear.
I would much rather pay $50 a year to get free game rentals on games I've owned for 3 years.
Its still good to get the whole game at one go. Then some downtime is nothing. On Xbox 360 you must have Xbox Live Gold to get all the features of a game. Almost every game has some online features, then pay up to get the whole game. That is not bullshit, its the pure fact.
Well the only paid online service around is Xbox Live and that has had downtime lasting a month and rampant hacking. I don't think that the argument that you get what you pay for can be made in this case :o
Yea that's a 100% complete lie. Live has never been down a month, PSN is the only one with that honor, and "rampant hacking", LOL can you give an example? I've never had or even heard of anyone getting hacked on Live....Ever.
it was down for me just a minute ago
I guess it depends what region you are in. I couldn't get on about 90 mins ago, it gave me 8071053D error, then tried again it gave me a message saying the PSN is undergoing maintenance.
But now I'm online no problems
I was having 8071053D, it lasted an hour for me.
no problem onb my side(in Canada_)
You get what you PAY for ;)
