Being down for two days is unacceptable. I want a refund on my subscription.


Also anon are a bunch of douchebags. Whether they're doing this or not.

Pretty sure anon has nothing to do with this.
Good job for them taking credit though.

I'm a Sony fan and even though it sucks that it's down, I haven't cared much. I played some Demon's Souls and Mass Effect 2 which I hadn't touched in a while so it was cool to get back in. I hope it goes up again soon for my socom addiction though.

I wish I would have seen that. I would have died with laughter.

I was able to log in until today. And I kept trying to log in and finally got in.

I really don't get the vitriol against Sony about the network having issues. Also, screw Anon; their primary incentive for any of the attacks they do is because they enjoy griefing people.

Piss poor timing on Anon's part, they had released that video a day or two before they wanted people to protest claiming it was going to be a big event.
Sony called there bluff and closed a majority of there stores that day also mall security in many EU stores were on high alert.

Wouldn't that be a success, causing many stores to be closed? A closed store is not making money and worse Costing sony money. Even for a day they must have taken a big lose having stores closed. Also, having attention from mall security having to be on high alert can't be good for mall/store relationships. The mall owner doesn't want to deal with protests or having to pay security More money because of one store.

Now with the psn being down, wether anon is the cause or not I'm sure with all the rumors that sony support is getting hammered with calls. That again is costing them money to man the phones to answer the questions and dispel rumors.

Just saying, they are causing enough of a fuss, sony is paying for it.

Wasn't this released like a week ago?

GUYS. Anonymous has nothing to do with this. They have specifically said they would not target PSN because that specifically hurts the users not Sony. They also stopped Caring about Sony a week ago.

Yes, but they have those retail stores for a reason and it is costing them money to maintain those stores. If they are not open they are loosing money is the bottom line.

ummm... What has this got to do with today's outage? This was from over a week ago referring to the march on Sony stores last Saturday. As I said above, Anon was only in the business of DDoS'ing Sony for a few hours weeks ago until they realized they were screwing over the folks they intend to be on the side of. If they changed course, they would let everyone know. To the contrary they say they have nothing to do with the outage and anyone who asks about it will be banned.

Exactly. I consider them closing up shop for a day to be a win for Anon.

The whole Internet is getting screwy. First, Ain't It Cool News and a bunch of other sites were down because of an Amazon S3 issue. Then I see PSN is down just when I want to link my Portal 2 to Steam. Then my Comcast ISP went down (widespread outage). I'm only online because I've got my MBP connected to my rooted EVO's hot spot. I'm about to read a book, for crying out loud!

Glad it is not just me that is still down. I was really wanting to input all the codes for Mortal Kombat yesterday and after seeing it down then thought I would do it today. Looks like I wont do it today.

Oh god, civilization is collapsing! Run for the hills!

Well according to this Facebook posting, Anon is claiming credit for this attack.

Really stupid if true, though I doubt it. Not only does it make them look worse, but they basically admitted they're liars. It only hurts the people who use the service when PSN goes down.

This sucks. I've been having problems for days, but problems that I could work around. Now that they're "fixing" it, I can't get in at all.

I agree with others about the downtime; it sucks but at the same time I finally got around to checking out Archer on Netflix and watched some Castle Season 1 Both are funny and quite interesting respectively.

Sony should send their ninjas after Anon. I would not stop laughing if it were to remotely become reality.

Like if the Anon site went down, per Judge order at the request of Sony? That would be awesome, if temporary.
