Sony’s PSN Woes: Not Unfamiliar To Gamers

VGW: It’s been a crazy year for Sony’s Playstation 3. Sony’s black stallion console was sitting pretty with a slew of benchmark games on the horizon, which were optimized for online capabilities. However, a kid by the name of Hotz and a rogue group of Anonymous hacktivists would eventually send the Playstation Network into a tailspin. The response from gamers has ranged from overt outrage to humorous indifference. This sort of outage is not new to gamers, and despite what some zealous XBox 360 fanboys from 4Chan may say, even they have felt the sting of extended network outages.
