Yeah, I'm a big baby. The last weekend I get to play my PS3 till mid June as I got UNISA exams starting soon. Wife has the car (took the kids with her and they are now in Pofadder) so except for studying, all I got is my PS3.

Busy playing the BFBC2 single player, not bad but I so want to play online now.
 
Normally I would go and rent some BluRay movies to watch on my PS3 now, but I'm broke and pay is Tuesday - wife and kids took all my cash for their holiday.
 
Anyway, got to finish BFBC2 single player today - was actually great fun and enjoyed it a lot. Usually I only get to play on the old 72cm but with the wife & kids gone, was able to play it on the 32" full volume :) Probably play Resistance 2 tomorrow (had it for 10mths and have not played it yet)
 
Hmm, I'm going to be a hypocrite and say "I want PSN back up!" :(

Bought Mortal Kombat yesterday and I want to play online! :D
 
Typical - everyone blaming the hackers. Its Sony's incompetence that its still down. It looks like they are redesigning PSN.

We sincerely regret that PlayStation Network and Qriocity services have been suspended, and we are working around the clock to bring them both back online. Our efforts to resolve this matter involve re-building our system to further strengthen our network infrastructure. Though this task is time-consuming, we decided it was worth the time necessary to provide the system with additional security.

LOL, its not because of them that Sony took PSN offline, read here:

BTW, Anonymous also released a youtube vid that they aren't the ones responsible for PSN being down at the moment. I'll post the vid as soon as I can find the link again.

And you believe the feckers just because they said so and there is a U-tube video? Shame, you know they are criminals, you know they have NO leadership or structure, You know they work independently from all over the globe as individuals. You also should know that some of the neo criminals attacked the Qriocity service and PSN for criminal intend thus stealing benefits for free. You also know that the criminals (hackers) also attacked the banking systems and other sites due to the Wiki leaks saga.

And You believe what they say? Shame.

If you know anything about IT you would know there is a reason for it and all three the points you mentioned goes hand in hand. It's not like Sony can just update the antivirus or security system from over the net? There is a good reason for the outing and all we can do is hope it will be back sooner than later. I also hope that we will soon learn about a lot of criminals (hackers) sued and penalized.

There's no reason for it to be off for 4 days. If its a new design they are putting in it would have been fully tested in a development environment. It should then be fairly quick to implement into a production system. They should have run the new system in parallel and when ready switched over - downtime a few hours.
 
Sony should contact Valve and ask them to fully implement Steam. No more PSN bs. Steam is a far superior system.

Going on 5 days now, which is a complete joke. I'm guessing they took PSN down without having an alternate solution, and are now formulating a security plan while we wait. The updates they post prove that they don't know what they're doing. Theres just no reason for a network to be down this long, unless the hackers have stolen tons of information such as credit card details etc etc. The other thing is that Sony could be replacing everything for whatever reason; completely rebuilding the network. On an Easter weekend, tons of their employees will be on vacation. Only a few staff on standby, so they could be doing zilch right not. Major PR hit for Sony. All their fault though, going after everyone and trying to sue everyone. I was with Sony going for the Hackers, but it seems its backfired badly.

PSN is such a puny little network compared to Steam. It's a slow outdated platform. I won't be buying the next Playstation. This one has just has so much **** it's not worth it. Microsoft know how to handle the gaming community.

Then in the mean time the thieves still carry on. We all know Anon got hold of the GeoHot information, so did many other internet scum and freaks (hackers), who knows what they were able to do using that information. Thus if you are such an exspert why not offer your services to Sony or enlighten us why Sony took such drastic action to prevent what kind of insecurity and further theft.

Troll much do you?!

The only info they got hold of was cracking the PS3 wide open. Sony have a badly designed system that keeps allowing people with CFW or firmware spoofs that allow them to connect to PSN.
 
xbox live still sailing smoothly, had some awesome search matches today on cod 4 and mw2, topped it off with a bit of nuketown tdm :D
