i red the blog that said it was an outside party brute attack im guessing anonymous??

Joe29115519d ago

Hear me out on this before pressing that disagree button. But have you guys ever thought that maybe Sony is trying to get us anti-Anon (not that we weren't already) but so against Anonymous that they are just forced to stop due to demand of the customer (that they are supposed to be protecting). Because this could easily have absolutely nothing to do with anon, all sony has to do is pull the plug on psn and.... '... it was anon!!'..

Having said all this, I wouldn't be surprised if Anon have something to do with this. It was just a thought of mine.

GrieverSoul5519d ago

@Joe2911
Its Peter and Wolf all over again.

Did Anon attack PSN last month?
Yes they did!
Is Anon attacking the PSN now?
Im not sure! They did it in the past.

Get it! Anon digged these holes for themselves. Now Sony can blame them. Still, they didnt, they just said it might be an outside party. I bet its Geohot! lol

Lucreto5519d ago (Edited 5519d ago )

I think Sony have a lot more important things to do than troll its fanbase. Anyway about 90% of the PS3 fanbase already dislike Anonymous as it is so Sony wouldn't bother with it.

It may not be Anonymous at all it could be another group just getting on the Sony hate waggon knowing well they would blame Anonymous.

edit: I have yet to see a denial from Anonymous and it has been nearly 12 hours since it went off line.

Joe29115519d ago

Anon sure did dig themselves a hole, and they have definitely given Sony a point to exploit. Sony knows if PSN goes down the first people we will point the finger at is Anon, and that is not what Anon wants, so what does anon do... gtfo.

Shazz5519d ago

There's no way that Sony are doing this to psn are you mad , the store is down so that means no cash coming in at all today

Man this must suck big time for those who are trying to play online.Looks like it's back to the challenge tower in MK9 for me.

Lirky5519d ago

This is bad... really bad like before it all happend i had a message saying Psn funds will be automatically refunded to your account. It kept saying that when i tried going to psn store i guess its normal i just thought it meant that psn funds will be extracted from my account.

Red_Phoenix5519d ago

This is interesting. I am so curious as what the problem might be. I highly doubt that it is an outside attack, but I guess you can't rule out that possibility. My guess is that someone got so high yesterday and accidentally messed something up :-P lol

BlueTemplar5519d ago

F**king hackers - Sony removes a feature that 99% of users don't give a toss about so in response they decide to ruin the entire experience for anybody who wants to use the console for what it was intended for (i.e playing games)

F**king idiots.

xtreampro_REVENGE!5519d ago

Currently Sony have removed:

B.C (needed)
OtherOS (not needed)
Card Readers (needed)
Two USB ports. (needed)

So they've removed three great features that add to the value of the console and basically got rid of the one feature that was barely used.

Why did they get rid of the three good features?

BlueTemplar5519d ago (Edited 5519d ago )

B.C - not needed and not advertised on any of the ps3's ive bought

OtherOS - not needed AT ALL

Card Readers - not needed - and not advertised on any of the ps3s ive bought

Two USB ports - not needed, if you need more, you can get a usb hub

EDIT: BC would be nice admittedly, but it was never removed from a PS3 that already had it.

This is beside the point though - these changes to the PS3s feature set were business decisions that Sony had every right to make - who gave this 'mob' the right to decide what is right and wrong?

SlyFoxC5519d ago

ok first of

B.C
(dont know what this is)

OtherOS
(agree not needed)

Card Readers
(get a usb card reader and plug it in..solved)

The Two USB ports
(its called a usb splitter...buy one)

don't sit here and complain about things that can still be used, just need some extra things to use them.

Roper3165519d ago

@ Blue Templar

You were just late to the party when you bought your PS3 then. Sony said back when the PS3 was launching that they would ALWAYS support earlier systems by offering B/C. The readers/usb ports were used to promote the 60gig at launch along with the built in WiFi that the launch 20gig didn't have. The only feature that was only briefly mentioned in passing was the other OS feature.

Op245519d ago

I have all those features because I still own a "Fat" model and the only feature I've used out of any of those is BC (Backwards Compatibility). You don't need two usb ports considering the controllers are wireless and you don't need the card readers, its called Windows Media Sharing.

Electroshocked5519d ago (Edited 5519d ago )

@ SlyFoxC B.C. = Backwards Compatibility...

BlueTemplar5519d ago

@Roper316 when i purchased my console isnt particularly relevant - the fact is I knew exactly what I was purchasing (lack of B/C, how many USB slots, etc) when I bought it, just like everybody else. It's not like USB slots and memory card readers can be removed by a firmware update.

If people arent happy with it not having a memory card reader or any of the other features listed they have the option to not buy the console in the first place and choose a different system.

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 Souls5836d ago

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

Godmars2905836d ago (Edited 5836d 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.

ClownBelt5836d 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-Pyro5836d 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.

Anon73495836d 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.

RedDevils5836d ago

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

ThanatosDMC5836d ago

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