What is wrong with the PlayStation Network?

PlayStation Universe voices its frustration and concerns over the instability of the PlayStation Network.

CustardTrout5087d ago

As much as I dislike paying for Xbox Live, atleast it's moderately stable.

PoSTedUP5087d ago

yeah that hacking thing screwed things up a little bit. it's not that big of a deal considering they are keeping things more secure and it only has been down a few times for a little while each time, no biggie. it's still free with free stuff and things to do and $50 a year with even better free stuff and more savings and things to do.

BrutallyBlunt5087d ago (Edited 5087d ago )

Steam is also free, how often do you see that service be down for maintenance? As for the security issues, i am not worried about that. Sony improved it and i haven't had any issues with my account.

Statix5087d ago (Edited 5087d ago )

PSN has been very stable for me, so I guess that one-ups your mere "moderate" stability. /s

Maybe the fact that I have decent knowledge of how to set up my router, and get Open NAT on my PS3 has something to do with it. I RARELY get disconnected from PSN.

CustardTrout5087d ago

Well played LevelHead, well played.

TBM5087d ago

ive had no issues with psn other than the hack last year.

CustardTrout5087d ago

They do things to me nipples.

Nes_Daze5087d ago

"Moderately" yes, because I get issues with Live, which is surprising since little fanboys here make it out to be sooo stable.

Ever since the hack people love to act like PSN is crap, most of those same people don't even own PS3s.

PSN is good but its no xbox live. Live's infrastructure is just plain better.

This entire article can be made to look stupid by one simple fact.

YOUR OWN CONNECTION CAN CAUSE YOUR OWN PSN NOT TO WORK!

Why the hell are people this stupid? I have never had an actual problem with PSN besides the New Years thing and the PSN Hack. That's it. And those 2 problems were massive. But these idiots tweeting "I can't access my PSN" fail to recognize some basic network problems ON THEIR END! Or if it's game related, it could be on the game's servers end. I mean seriously. PSN is not down all the time. And all of these alleged updates have never affected me. They usually do them passed peak hours and it's only ever down for like 2 hours.

When PSN goes down for you, CHECK YOUR OWN CONNECTION BEFORE WHINING LIKE A SPOILED BRAT! It's really not that hard to not be that stupid.

NotSoSilentBob5087d ago

I have been saying this for years. Have a bubble for some common sense.

DragonKnight5087d ago

Thanks. I mean, there are so many little things that can go wrong, especially if you're using wifi, in your network settings. My router goes down all the time and I have to reset it because it stopped broadcasting its name or some other stupid reason. But then you get the idiots who are on PSN when it goes down and automatically assume that it's Sony's network that is to blame. How about you check your own connection first, reboot your router, check your settings or anything like that?

But you know how it is, people love to b*tch.

wenaldy5087d ago

You are talking about today's generation gamer.

Gekko5087d ago (Edited 5087d ago )

I wouldn't mind as much if they actually announced all of their maintenances on their website like that incident that happened last month which caused an error for people registering and logging in.

Seeing as how it's free all is forgiven.

Gekko5087d ago

Oof, looking at how many disagrees I got maybe it wasn't worth mentioning. I suppose my complaint only happens once in a while that's why.

For what it's worth though PSN is a good service and is enhanced with PS+.

HarryMasonHerpderp5087d ago (Edited 5087d ago )

Live is a little better but not enough to warrant paying money for it.
For the same price you pay for a year subscription with Live you could sign up to PS+ and get free games all year and discounts on the store.
Yeah PSN isn't the best but it's more than over the standard you would expect for a free online service and I for one have never had a problem with it when playing games.

Trebius515087d ago

The ppl disagreeing with you are the ones that are upset theyre not getting huge deals out of subbing for gold. All they get is the ability to play online, and use netflix and facebook.

lulz

Wingsfan245087d ago

You know what the funniest thing is though, the people that pay for Gold are still bombarded with advertisements on every single page of the dashboard lol.

Rolling the Dice: Do Modern RPGs Miss the Point of Team-Based Play?

It seems it was long time ago. A bunch of friends spending hours on end playing RPG games, sitting around the table with the box of cold pizza. Excited about the story, listening to the Game Master, they were completely engaged in the worlds only visible to them and their imaginations.

The GM is the programmer, and in MMOs and co-ops, you can play with others. If you want to ONLY use your imagination for the visuals, read a book.

1) Hope they put it on disc this time.
2) Hope this is a positive for Neptune coming over as well.

Demons Souls5844d ago

If so, that's being developed & published by Idea Factory. Compile Heart has nothing to do with it (Thank God for that).

Godmars2905844d ago (Edited 5844d ago )

Thought Compile Heart was one of the companies lending characters.

Was also speaking in general as in regards to a US of Neptune. If these guys are offing a second game, NIS or Atlus, both of whom offer quirkier titles, will put that one out.

@kagon01:
My issue isn't - wholly - with the DL-only option, but the price. The first game should be $30. Maybe $40, and by that I mean $39.99. The only reason its $45 is the 360 disc version which has extras. Nevermind that by all rights its a PS2 game. Something that proabbly could have been done if the devs had the GOW2 engine or tools.

ClownBelt5844d ago

I approve of this god damn message.

Could have gotten my 60 bucks if they just put it on a disc.

Another exclusive damnn the ps3 keeps on rollin wit games awesome ;)

Jack-Pyro5844d ago

Is this a half decent SRPG, porn aside, cause if it is, i might just decide to go and buy it for the 360.

Anon73495844d ago

There's no porn just some sexual innuendos but that's it.

Also it is a great game by itself, maybe not graphically but everything else is top tier.

RedDevils5843d ago

so it had some kind of "top tier" porn story jk

ThanatosDMC5844d ago

Yup, it's a decent game. I just hate that a move has to go first before any attack options.
