PSN Down For Some Users?

For some users, the PSN seems to have been unavailable since thursday night. Many of these people are on Orange Broadband, though Orange deny that anything is wrong.

"I am too with Orange and my connection has worked flawlessly since I got a PS3 (march), until yesterday. Now all I get is the message "The connection with PLAYSTATION Network timed out" or "An error has occurred. You have been signed out of the PLAYSTATION Network (80710092)".
I am getting NAT type 'Failed' on the PS3 connection test and it can't connect to the PSN. Both computers in my house work fine on the internet. I can still use the browser on the PS3.
None of the network settings on the PS3 or my router have been changed, so the problem is not at my end."

There are a couple of threads about it on the official forums:

http://community.eu.playstation.com/showthread.php?t=204466

"I just wanted to try and get the issue publicised so that it gets sorted as soon as possible."

i get disconnected about 50% of all the times i go online...
its kinda bummer to have broken online service when online service is what i wanted most from PS3...
kinda sukks, just cause its free doesnt mean they should provide half online service...

edit: jujunogo, lol why would i make that up ? im loyal PS3 owner that is having some really big issues... who the fu*k are u to judge me for it ? i do know how to set up internet connections. it worked fine back in summer 07, but ever since then ive not been able to connect 50% of the time, so dont come with that BS that im making this up... u dont know what kind of shiet i've been put up with...

jujunogo6709d ago (Edited 6709d ago )

this is some bullshit attempt for someone to make it seem like psn is breaking down like xbox live...I have never had a problem with my psn or any of my psn friends.. i would suggest thou the best connection is NAT 1 the ps3 hooked directly to the modem and oh yea stick to comcast in america if you can

gamesR4fun6709d ago (Edited 6709d ago )

always like 100% probably doesnt hurt that I know how to set up a network...

This seems pretty random going from the thread it certainly not a major issue unless your one the guys saying you cant get on....

MikeGdaGod6709d ago (Edited 6709d ago )

for about two days i had trouble with the PSN. i'm in the US (Chicago)

i couldn't get into video chat but i was online.

i kept getting "NAT type 'Failed'" on the PS3 connection test. i was really busy and didn't have time to call sony but two days later it was ok and has been ever since.

i don't know what the problem was

barom6708d ago

the NAT thing is something in the setting. I don't really remember. But I had that problem. You basically need to open some ports through the network or enable something like UPND or something I don't remember.

MaximusPrime6709d ago

this is forum post. do not approve. (could be xbot's attempt to upset us because of xbox live failure last xmas)

The network affect a few people. I have no problem with PSN since march last year.

Mr_Kuwabara6709d ago (Edited 6709d ago )

I was playing yesterday and I got disconnected once but it has happened to me before.

Too bad for those guys, well I'm off to play GH3 online. =P

Vip3r6709d ago

I'm getting this too but I'm guessing it's Tiscali seeing that IE7 is going sh!t slow and web pages keep needing to be refreshed all the time. That along with COD4 not working, *****.

Lord Anubis6709d ago

it's strange that is happening to some user not an entire country in Europe. PSN works fine for me here in Silicon Valley but I can't speak for Europe.

MaximusPrime6709d ago (Edited 6709d ago )

im from london and i have had no problem. I must have a best ISP ever.

why disagree with me? i use Namesco (most of you never heard of). cost is a little high but it worth it.

Look I know VIII has its issues and all that but how on earth can the do big anniversary events with new artwork and merchandise for VII, IX and X yet VIII got sweet f*** all.

They could have given it something during its 25th anniversary yet all it got was a single Happy Anniversary post on their social media.

solideagle41d ago

they should know that we are OG fans of VIII as it sold truckload as well. not as much as VII or X. I personally didn't like IX but X and VI are my personal fav.

Shadow Hearts 2 covenant is another game I love. I hope one day someone can make remake, I would be delighted

Relientk7741d ago

Final Fantasy VIII is great and you are always the first to defend it in the comments

"Gaming’s Biggest Fighting Franchise"

Press X to (seriously) doubt.

DarXyde48d ago

Underrated comment. I used to hate that game so much that any time my siblings asked me to play it, I just picked Hom and shut myself down mid-match.

Soy48d ago

And then MK1 killed it again.

15 years went by so fast. I remember playing through the story mode at launch.

PlayStation legend Shuhei Yoshida says Jim Ryan fired him because he didn't listen to him

Why did Sony push Shuhei Yoshida out of his role leading PlayStation's first-party games? He'd overseen some huge successes. Well, apparently, he didn't listen.

Yeah I can see that for sure. Shuhei Yoshida should have been in charge not Jim Ryan.

Cacabunga50d ago

It should be free highway for him now.. but Sony are too stupid to see this, especially that moron Hulst

S2Killinit49d ago (Edited 49d ago )

Wtf why all that anger. PlayStation is dominating on every level. Besides I think there is a little more to hiring a CEO than just who is available. Its not like its a athlete your team wants to buy.

neutralgamer199249d ago

S2Killinit

live service failures, chasing trends, closing studios. yes dominating

Cacabunga49d ago

Sony is Dominating because competition is not existing. Compared to previous gens this is the poorest in terms of software offerings.

Last gen we got Uncharted 4 Lost Legacy and TLOU2 from ND alone.

This is so far a remasters gen, with no competition to lift up the quality

1nsomniac49d ago (Edited 49d ago )

..."PlayStation is dominating on every level"....

...Really???

PlayStation are soon heading into a new generation in the not to distant future. They currently have the worst customer satisfaction they've ever sustained as a company. The company is heading for a huge crash while at the same time they'll need to be planning how they are going to try and win back that favour and the build up to their new releases.

Yes financially they're winning but they're going to have to ride out this complete public corporate disaster. No one has faith in the company or the product anymore. They've damaged their public image so much this generation. Greed can kill anyone.

medman49d ago

Hulst is a disaster......

blacktiger49d ago

He would've done the same thing and fire Jim Ryan and Shuhei would be the villain. Why?
Because Elite creates the narrative and distraction for gamers, users and citizens.

Outside_ofthe_Box50d ago

More confirmation that Jim Ryan is the culprit for what has happened to Sony. Hulst needs to go too. What sucks is that a lot of the good top heads at Sony are no longer there. I wish that guys that were forced out prematurely by Dumbo Jimbo like Shuhei and Layden came back.

robtion49d ago

Yep. Yoshida was responsible for bringing one of the best games of this generation to playstation (Stellar Blade). He is an actual gamer and is in touch with what gamers want (creative, fun games, not GaaS and agenda pushing). He also seems like a genuinely nice guy if you watch some interviews. Of course they got rid of him.

darthv7250d ago

Makes you wonder if MS even thought about hiring him after Phil and Sarah were leaving. He certainly couldn't make their situation any worse.

Agent7549d ago

Microflop. After Windows XP and Xbox 360, it all went floppy.

S2Killinit49d ago

Floppy 😆
No pun intended

badz14949d ago

Yoshida for President! Jim Ryan was and always be a hack! Sony should get Shu back

Lightning7749d ago

All the gamer/consumer lead heads are gone across PS and Xbox. shuhei gone phil's gone (questionable) but gone. The future of gaming is somewhat uncertain across the board.
