BBC Say Statement From Sony Coming Soon

thesixthaxis:

If anyone was watching the BBC News channel in the last hour or so hopefully they can verify this, but apparently we can expect a statement from Sony on the PSN outage, including the rumours surrounding customer credit card details, ‘within a couple of hours’.

According to a poster on GAF, the BBC have been in contact with Sony regarding the issues on a regular basis, and are expecting official word soon. That statement is also expected to include a timescale for resumption of services. According to reports on Twitter, the business news segment has just ran a comprehensive story on the whole thing.

But will it be a statement that reveals anything?

[movements]

Yes. It's suppose to include what really happened and timeline on PSN's return.

I love announcements of announcements, don't you guys? :P

[I_find_it_funny]

^^ they forgot the counter :)

tbh I'm pissed but not on Sony, I know they're doing everything thay can to:
- fix it
- fix it good so won't happen again
but on the other hand I finished 2 games and 2 books I started a while ago, do it's all good

The return of PSN will be announced at this year's E3.

[PimpHandHappy]

they will share more when PSN is back up and running. Till then they are busy and as they said b4.. We do not comment on speculation and rumor

[S2580]

well when the bbc say it.......

[paladinaz]

BBC are ignorant when it comes to report news as they are, they often "upgrade" or "add" particular segments which are meaningless for people who actually follow the situation.

[El Nino]

They also aired a watchdog episode which did its best at ripping the ps3 and the YLOD issue apart. Exagerating the issue ten fold. There technology stories are woeful.

I think I remember that, didn't the guy who done the segement pretty much admit to being an avid gamer...or in relative terms 'fanboi' on his Xbox 360 from the outset of the article?

[caseh]

Had to reply simply due to the one disagree from clueless muppets:

Thats the segment, opening comment from Narrator:

"Ian Lee may be a self declared XBOX MAN..."

Feel free to watch for yourself *pffft*

[tdrules]

BBC are probably one of the last unbiased news sources.
what they choose to air on their channels are another story however

[BeAGamer]

should be epic

[El Nino]

I dont expect any compensation even though i'm a PS+ member.....however everybody on the PSN will have a e-mail address linked up...surely it wouldnt be that hard for them to send a e-mail explaining why and what is going on and include an apology. They manage to send me them when they wanna advertise there products.

[leogets]

the only componsation youll probably get brother is that youll get an extra week out of your subscription.

[HiThere]

When is it cumin back on

[BeAGamer]

Dec. 21st, 2012

[caseh]

If you reboot the microwave in your kitchen it should be back on in about 2 minutes. *DING!* oh mines done!

[KaiokenKid]

Their statement? "WE DONE GOOFED SON!"

[Loner]

Didnt they blame it on Japan at the start.Then anonymous.I wonder who they will blame next

[Adva]

I know many of you will be getting rid of your PS3's now.... So being the nice person I am, I'm willing to take all your games and hold them for you so you don't have to.

I hope they give us some sort of time frame. Nothing worst than not knowing what the hell is going on if you're a consumer. Hopefully taking their time means they're going to get it right. I was never big on Sony until the PS3. My bro is all about Sony and wont get an xbox but after my 6th xbox it was time for a reliable system and I discovered one of my favorite gaming series of all time in Uncharted. Enough rambling good luck to sony and it's gamers.

[Damiann]

i hope they will reveal a date, it s starting to get frustrating, first a day or 2, now whe are 3 days further, the gamers need a honest statement.

[iistuii]

At these articles and the posts from people on here. If you read them there is mostly Sony fanatics, because that's what they are, completely defending them on all accounts. They could keep the PSN off for a month and these people would STILL defend them. Go on, read all the articles on N4G's and you'll see what I mean. I'm pissed off about it, yeah I can go on the Gears beta, but I bought 3 PS3 games in the last week and they are all better online than SP...SORT IT OUT......

[leogets]

(shaking from withdrawels wanting bfbc2 headshots) ps3 is the new jesus. just waiting on it to rise from the dead huh guys! ;)

[Lindsey]

[sycnation]
