They are going to have to give users more than a month free of PSN+ to make up for it now. I know that it is only free games, however, without PSN working, I am unable to play some of the games I got for free, and most of the others are in demo mode since there is a key which needs to be authenticated.

I think gamers are starting to get desperate.

NeaL_ThA_GaMeR5478d ago

i dont think anyones getting desperate, i means its only psn thats down...no big deal really... we lived without it before im sure normal ppl can manage a few more days....

smoothdude5478d ago

Your right, maybe desperate isn't the right word, but still there are a couple of new games that I am dying to try out online. I would really love it if PSN came back up soon :)

TOO PAWNED5478d ago

you guys are hilarious, no biggy ah? hahahaha

MariaHelFutura5478d ago

I love how too pawned is blown away that some people don't find it a big deal.

teapacket5478d ago (Edited 5478d ago )

Does anyone read the blog? Sony said "within the week". They never gave a specific date. I can understand if they said Friday or Saturday night and it's still not up but they never gave a date.

So everyone relax and CHILL OUT.

And this is not a credible source.

AndrewRyan5478d ago

Maybe not on N4G where everyone sucks Sony's dick. But in real life there are a lot of pissed off people.

MariaHelFutura5478d ago (Edited 5478d ago )

Gaming existed before the introduction of online. I'm perfectly happy with playing single player games. In fact I enjoyed gaming a lot more before online was introduced. This might shock some people but it's true. Lastly I don't care about you I care about me . I'm doing just fine

Fire17925478d ago

It's funny because I was talking to my brother about that. I was like "We're spoiled, we played single player games countless amount times before there was online game modes. Now we don't even know what to do with the PS3...."

@smooth dude

No, you're right on two counts: people are getting desperate, and it's going to take a heck of a lot more than 30 days of PSN Plus and a couple crappy PSN games to make up for it.

Personally, I'm going crazy. I have two little kids, and my way of unwinding after they finally go to bed is to play a little Black Ops or Bad Company 2 MP.

If it's not back up this weekend I'm going to have to seriously reconsider my choice of hobby.

Tired5478d ago (Edited 5478d ago )

See ya!Oh don't let the door smack you on the way out.

A little melodramatic perhaps?

GrumpyVeteran5478d ago

Play PC or Xbox 360, or have more sex with the wife?

--------5478d ago (Edited 5478d ago )

Why Disagree with the guy? I'm FAR from desperate, buy like Rifle said:

"it's going to take a heck of a lot more than 30 days of PSN Plus and a couple crappy PSN games to make up for it."

They've been f-cking us around "Next week, next week, possibly, maybe, working on this and that, oops it's gonna take a bit longer, better bow"

If Golf is your hobby and your only way to unwind and someone blows up the huge free golf course you frequent, you'd be pissed too.

If we had a solid DATE, it would be fine. But no it's "Maybe possibly sometime in the week for sure but not definitely. Maybe. Could be." Vague as fuck

tehpees35478d ago

speak for yourself. I'm perfectly fine. I'm enjoying playing little big planet campaign thanks

xAlmostPro5478d ago

Well you're getting more than 30 days of ps+, your getting 30 days qriocity, plus 2 games out of a selected 5.. and on top of that they're chucking in free ID theft cover/insurance..

Oschino19075478d ago

People that already have Qriocity get an extra month free, everyone else already had/has access to a 30day free trial so that isnt anything new. Derp!

Plus what about people who already have those 5 games (unless they are brand spankin new like outland) or already have the only 2 good ones that they would want, why do they get nothing else from this all?

Urrakia345477d ago

@oschino- They'd still get the free 30 days of Playstation Plus

teapacket5478d ago (Edited 5478d ago )

Andrew Ryan: So having common sense and not freaking out like everyone else is sucking Sony's dick. Nice logic you have there. /s

I really like how people mash disagrees on something that's actual FACT and yet they believe all the crap they hear on websites that have no idea what they're talking about.

HolyOrangeCows5477d ago (Edited 5477d ago )

Another inquisitive PSN article with a title ending in a question mark, speculating on old info. Bravo.

if they keep it off too long gamers might realise psn isnt their life and stop gaming all together. lol like that would ever happen right.

NeaL_ThA_GaMeR5478d ago

hang on hang on who in their right mind thinks psns their life?????????????????????????? ??

leogets5478d ago

hahah im sure theres plenty out there.. theres allsorts that make the world go round. theres even people out there that like to inhale womens farts b4 the fk em !

M-Easy5478d ago

Umm Leogets that last bit about the inhaling was a bit tmi. I feel sick now.

elmaton985478d ago

But he is saying the truth, I met some people who liked to be shit on their face(obviously I didn't hang out with then anymore it's disgusting).

DavidMacDougall5478d ago

Yeah some people are never off PSN, i had a guy added who had COD on all the time, whenever i logged in he was on so i guess it can happen.

NeaL_ThA_GaMeR5478d ago

haha LOL im happy with playing offline on games like farcry2 oblivion red dead redmeption mass effect 2 bioshock etc etc etc and going on facebook ofc lol

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.

solideagle7d 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

Relientk777d ago

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

Press X to (seriously) doubt.

DarXyde14d 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.

Soy14d 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.

Relientk7716d ago

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

Cacabunga16d ago

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

S2Killinit15d ago (Edited 15d 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.

neutralgamer199215d ago

S2Killinit

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

Cacabunga15d 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

1nsomniac15d ago (Edited 15d 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.

medman15d ago

Hulst is a disaster......

blacktiger15d 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_Box16d 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.

robtion15d 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.

darthv7216d 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.

Agent7515d ago

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

S2Killinit15d ago

Floppy 😆
No pun intended

badz14915d ago

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

Lightning7715d 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.
