Well now it makes sense. They shut down their servers to deal with a potential problem.I can understand their silence. They were busy working on the problem. I agree though that they could have at least told us that they need to shut down their servers for certain reasons. They didn't even have to tell us what that reason is.I wonder if it really is the PSN exploit they are fixing.
@ Octo1 I partially agree with you but they could have just said that they need to shut dow...
Probably the only titles confirmed. Sure their will be more for E3. It would be nice if they launched with Lil Deviants. That looked interesting
Exactly. Do you think a phone or able company would give you free service if the phone lines went down or the cable went out for a specific period of time? PSN is no different. Stop asking stupid question and searching for reasons to cause trouble. This is one of the few times (I can't even remember any other time) that PSN has ever been down for longer then a day. If it is worldwide the problem must be bigger then normal.
@ Red_Phoenix did you know that some jack@$$ es a...
Good Lord. We have finally reached the lowest level of stupidity. This doesn't even sound like a proper paranoid conspiracy therory that sounds even moderately true. This is complete crap. Sony hasn't even directly blamed anyone for the outage. Why in the hell would Sony shutdown their own network worldwide on a long weekend missing out on PSN sales and pissing of their fanbase? Even worse why would Sony need a scapegoat for future outages when this almost never happens? Complete BS
I personally hate smartphone games. I constantly have to listen to how cheap and how great they are but they really are kinda crappy and tedious. I don't get why everyone makes such a big fuss about games like Cut the Rope and Angry Birds when I could buy an NGP and probably get games that are 50 time more engaging and less tedious and repetitive. I would rather pay $30-40 bucks for an NGP game then $1.99 for some mindless rubbish made only to occupy the simple mindeed. I know it sounds h...
The best part is matchmaking based on players levels. That means no more complaining about coming in late or playing with people extremely higher or lower then you. No picking on noobs. Everyone you play against will be on the same or probably close to your level so you have no excuse for having crappy skills. Nice job ND.
Yay!
Yeah I am sure. It would really help if Sony announced 'Hey everyone guess what hackers have screwed us over and we are in deep $hit trying to get our servers back up and it MIGHT end up being longer than we thought. And the usually understanding gaming public who are threatening to buy 360s because of a day and a half without PSN will say ' Duh huh! Sure Sony that's okay we will wait. We are very patient, understanding individuals' .Yeah that's how it will go down.
If this true then they are getting what they deserved. Like I said, we have already seen what happens when Sony gets pissed. Unlike Geohot there are no excuses this time. You guys will be screwed if you are caught. Jailtime for cyber terrorism
Dumb questions by troublemaking sites. Yeah, the one of the few times PSN was gone for more then a day and I will run out and buy a 360. Does that make ANY sense or do people just write before thinking as per usual?
What BS. In the many years I have used PSN this is one of the few times it was ever gone for more then a day. Downtime was usually to add features or do routine maintenance. Now that this is happening suddenly Sony is incompetent and PSN is a mess and is ALWAYS breaking down. And Annoymous, why should we trust them? It's so easy to say 'we didn't do it' and pointing fingers at Sony while lying their @$$es off.Why does everyone seem to think that these troublemakers and thieves...
I wouldn't say a 'test dummy' but an experiment to see if they could make a digital only device. A business has to gamble every now and again. People attack the PSP Go now that it has failed but I think that it wasn't a bad idea just not a very well received idea.What is wrong with having a device that only downloads games?
The Dreamcast was a failure and sent Sega packing out of the hardware business but that doesn't mean the Dreamcast was a bad idea. Ev...
Why would you say a trouble making statement like that? What is wrong with wanting Infamous 2 and get the UC3 beta as well?
Yes it is embarrassing the way gamers react to things like this. It is why everyone things we are all social inept.
It's amazing that when ever Sony makes these numbers something must be wrong. GT5 sold 6 million, so something must be wrong. The PS3 sold 50 million, so something must be wrong. Home has 19 mullion users, so something must be wrong. 8 million Moves, so something must be wrong.
If not that stupid questions like this."PSP is it dying?" with 60 million owners. "Move must be dying?" with 8 million Moves sold. "Is GT5 is a failure?" at 6 million...
That is just something Microsoft always does. The way the trumpet on about third party games you would swear it was a 360 exclusive. When they showed MW2 I really thought it was an exclusive game with the big fuss they made out of it.
That's right. Get cocky. We have already seen what happens when you get Sony really pissed. Keep it up. If they catch you there will be no excuses like with Geohot. This will probably constitute some jail time for cyber terrorism.
Exactly. This is a bunch of BS. PSN has not been down for than a day in the five years it has been in existance except for routine maintenance and suddenly because of this incident suddenly PSN isn't secure and I should switch to Live? Seriously? I should start paying $60.00 a year for something that is supposed to be free? I mean people can't be this stupid. This is even stupider then the guy saying that the NGP is just the 3DS without the 3D. And to make matters worse people are su...
Are we still going through this. The fact that you did not read the terms is irrelevant. You should not sign things you did not read.Sony is in the right because they told you up front that they have the right to remove the features. No one knows why they put that there, maybe it was the foresight that something like this might happen. It is not insidious, it is not evil, it's not unfair. They told you it plain and simple and people choose to ignore it and pretend that they didn't sig...
You guys are funny. I love how everyone just jumps on anything negative that happens with the PS3. This is just like when the Leap Year thing happened and every Xbox troll and PS3 hater was on here trying to make a mountain out of a mole hill in some pathetic attempt to put down the PSN.
And now the PSN is gone for a short time and here you all are again with the Xbox Live is better then PSN $hit all over again. In the 5 years I have had my PS3 this is only about the second ...
