Way of the Nerd: Sony's PlayStation Network Back Up, But Now What?

"The infamous hack of Sony’s PlayStation Network has become a very popular issue in the gaming world, not only because gamers weren’t able to virtually kill each other through the online portion of their games, and not only because people who bought games that were launched with during this time weren’t able to max out their potential due to the downtime (such as games like Portal 2, Mortal Kombat, and Socom 4), but mainly because the personal information of more than 77 million users was compromised.

The PlayStation Network was down for 25 days; that’s just about a month of no online gaming or any internet-based services on the PS3 for that matter (no online gameplay and no Netflix make Johnny a very, very bored boy). "

Going straight back to what I always do......Xbox Live.

Dont use PSN any more anyways, Steam ftw. Currently playing Witcher 2 simply amazing.

[Kamikaze135]

Amazing doesn't describe it. It's definitely one of the greatest RPG games of all time. This coming from somebody who didn't really enjoy the first Witcher game.

[KeiserSosay4788]

Idk why you got disagrees...because steam DESTROYS the console online services. Anyway, witcher 2 def rocks. I've put socom down to play that and man....its good.

Your comment before that:

"maybe they actually have something to show this year, hopefully, my 360 is wasting away in the corner"

pathetic troll.

[achmetha]

Didn't waste my time reading the article when the failure of a journalist says in the summary that you couldn't access Netflix. I was watching Top Gear on Netflix the ENTIRE time the PSN was down. Keep stirring that pot buddy.

[Istanbull]

What a dumb article. What "now what"?? Now its back online, go play online games. Did the world change suddenly? It didn't affect me at all since I was busy with my great PS3 singleplayer games.

Stop writing these sh!tty articles you "journalists" from no-name websites.

Article FAIL.

[Apocwhen]

But what now?
On with life.

[Gam3s4lif3]

Wow... people dont get what your saying... :/ :s

[MasterCornholio]

Just leave it alone already we dont need more articles of this type anymore there have been tons of them. I am getting sick of all this. What i would like to see is an article about when the playstation store will come back.

[Orion]

Me too.

I'm sure it will come this Tue/Wed. Why? Because they will be able to follow the same update calendar as where they left it. Plus renews first week of the month, and the day PSN went off they were in the last update of the month. So if they put the Store on this week, they will just continue with the Plus calendar as before, and they will have no problems regarding overlapping months and so on.

[MasterCornholio]

I really hope its true. Cause i am dying to take advantage of the welcome back package. Dead Nation and Wipeout for me.

[Rybakov]

been busy the past couple days since it finally stopped raining..... did the store come back up yet? thats really the only thing i care about for psn not much of an online gamer

[Silly gameAr]

Best just to start ignoring articles like this. They're all the same and just here for hits. Plenty of good gaming news going around to even give these articles attention anyway.
