    Default PSN down, and no DP chatter about it?

    SO I've had a pretty busy week, and tonight started up my PS3 for the first time in a while. I was unable to sign in to PSN.

    I then looked at the PSN blog and learned that the network's been down since yesterday, and the Sony rep states the network may be down for another 1 or two days. There are numerous juvenile complaints on the PSN forums, with a very few mature messages buried in the threads.

    I was surprised to not find any mention at all of the outage here at DP.

    Did anyone besides me notice?

    I read about it on kotaku. Apparently psn suspects they were actually "attacked" by an activist group, but the group themselves denied it. The article was really vague, with no links to back anything up. Id post a link to it but I'm on my cell.

    At least the ps3 works offline, unlike last march when every ps3 had that internal clock issue.

    Yeah, the lack of PSN sucks, but I just got my PS3 back from Sony last week, so I'm still basking in the glow of having a working system, offline or otherwise.

    Well, I haven't resumed playing GoW (on the PS2) since beginning it a while back (probably over a year ago). And I stalled on Bioshock before travelling to NOLA in late-December.

    I'll use this time to return to those, and take a break from Gravity Crash and the user-generated levels.

    While I certainly took a long time to enter the current-gen gaming scene, I still can't get over just how much I like my PS3. It's just cooler than words can describe, even with the PSN outage....

    Of course it's down just in time to prevent me from unlocking a PC/Mac version of Portal 2 by linking my PSN & Steam account. Damn!

    Same here. At least I'm going out of town for the weekend anyway, so I won't really miss out much.

    I hope this makes Sony and Capcom realize not to use that fucking DRM shit for their DLC games.

    I hope they "apologize" by eliminating this DRM bullshit from their games. Not like they ever will anyway.

    It does seem silly, especially since it's not universally implemented on all PSN software.

    Hopefully they patch it out at some point.

    Funny how people forget the similar XBLA outages in 2008.

    I was talking to Joe about it yesterday and he couldn't recall it at all.

    Yeah we needed some Penny Arcade to liven up this thread. Especially since I thought PSN would be back up and running by now.

    As for the Undertow comment, the majority of PSN members(such as myself) aren't paying for anything and thus can't really expect some kind of freebie. However, there are the other roughly 2 million PSN Plus members who foolishly...er, voluntarily pay for extras. Those members have a legit reason to be up and arms and when this is all over hopefully Sony takes care of them, if not with a free game then atleast with an added month to their subscription.

    I submit for the suck list:

    -no e-mail warning from Sony, so I spent an hour troubleshooting these mysterious error messages when I could have been playing Vectrex games or something. In the process I erased my saved password so I have that puzzle to look forward to when it does get going again. Not only no e-mail, but nothing in my PS3 message box... so why even have that thing in the first place? So Sony can wish me Happy Valentine's Day? (seriously, that's the only message in there)

    -no Music Unlimited which I was using almost every night. If I'm not reimbursed for these lost days (which you KNOW I won't be) so much for that service.

    -no Netflix on my hd set

    -no Gran Turismo 5. I'm guessing the game probably works but I don't want to miss out on some unforeseen function that is not working while online is down.

    -I was thinking about picking up Mortal Kombat. See some unforeseen function comment above.

    -depending on the yet unrevealed nature of this "intrusion" I will probably be cancelling my credit card which will be fun to explain to the wife.

    -if I feel like donwloading a new game for my Go I'm SOL (that none of the haters have deemed the machine PSPSOL is a minor miracle)

    -WORST OF ALL: so some anonymous (he he) hackers have decided they don't like Sony and decided to disrupt my service. What happens if they decide they don't like my bank, my cable company, Netflix, etc. ? Non-gamers are ignoring this event, and clearly at their own peril. "Well whadya want, it's a free service?" Buffoons.

    Agreed.

    I'm not disagreeing with you, but just FYI you can still watch netflix while psn is down. You just hit o (I think) to bypass the error message.

    Thanks, I was getting kicked into that password thing but it does actually work. Still would be nice to hear that from Sony instead of a random person on the DP forums.

    My buddies girl called me up today asking what was up with the PSN and I told her what was going on, he usually plays Madden 11 with his brother that lives in another state every night and can't now because these hacks want to be douchebags. The PSN being down doesn't bother me that much, but I feel for the ones that frequently do, since not everyone goes on to pwn the n00bz on BLOPS, some actually go on to play with friends/family that are a great distance away.
