I'm just like whatever at this point. I'm not holding out hope like I was two weeks ago. Thankfully I have two consoles. So I've been playing the 360 a lot more. PS3 just for Portal 2. I feel real bad for one console owners.

Im no that pissed off at the moment I mean Im in the middle of my finals and its really helping my grades! lol.

But with that being said theres no games that I currently want to play online and with L.A noire coming out soon I can wait for 2 more weeks.

But getting a infamous 2 beta code on the day of the "failure" was crappy especially after I went through so much trouble to get one.

The lack of info is just plain frustrating. I own a Go so the outage is even worse as I can't buy anything for it. There is only so much PixelJunk Monsters a guy can play (I have finished all levels and challenges on the most difficult setting)

My PS3 has not been turned on for anything but movie playback for the past 2 weeks and even this is under threat as my TV supports AVI/DIVX playback directly via USB and seems to support more formats.

i wish it would go online soon... but i guess we will have to wait a litttle longer. some info about whan more or less would be awesome though.

Not very epic at all considering the network didn't fail. Sony turned it off to prevent hackers from getting in while they rebuild it from the ground up. All the rquired security measures were in place and the hackers still got in. Sony did the right thing in this situation.

It's not epic, it's just sad.

this is out of hand all i hear is psn is still down day after it dominates front page all the while. for the love
of god give psn users there online back all ready. get it sorted. i hope these hackers get whats coming im a gammer
i dont care about politics. i just want to enjoy my games online. taking this away from gamers for no good reason
is messed up. with there silly v for vendeta crappy image
ill v for vendeta my boot up there ass if i could

about the same as when sauran dropped his contact lens and frodo was able to destroy the ring

Why is it that after 3 weeks now, people are still acting like Sony are poor innocent victims here? They're victims sure but victims with their heads inbetween their legs out of embarrassment. They knew they had security flaws and they can't even say they didn't see it coming.. anon gave them threats and like many users here, Sony probably scoffed at them as ramblings of silly kids. This is possibly one of the biggest "epic failures" I can think of in the gaming industry in the last five years.. any neutral can see that.

Also it's the in thing at the moment in terms of games journalism. Those of you calling for no more articles like this mustn't keep up with the news very much or you'd realise that providing the interest is there, these sort of articles will keep coming.

The PSN is down? Why haven't I read about this on N4G until now? ;)

"However; shouldn't it have been secure from the start."

Secure how? In spite of popular rumors to the contrary, they were using the latest up to date software. They had security and as with all security if you have enough people willing to spend enough time, then they can get through it.

Would one more hurdle to overcome have been enough? Five? Ten? Maybe they didn't have enough but what precisely is enough? At what point do you say 'Well they had plenty in place but it was breached anyway', because logically any system that can be breached never has enough security no matter how much it has.

Same blah blah repeating accusations proven to be false. Kids are really bored without their COD.

This is worse than MS's RROD.

Monumental fail for customers.

Sony = hardware company with software failure (PSN outage)
MS = software company with hardware failure (RROD)
Is their a moral in there? I dunno but dont you just love the symmetry lol
At the end of the day, its nothing more than an annoying inconvenience for PS3 gamers (hopefully) and Sony will make good to its service users.

This reminds me of "The Day the Earth Stood Still" except its not the Earth, its the PSN. and its not a day, its a month

Articles that refer to the current PSN downtime as a "Network Failure" should automatically be blocked, because they're obviously trolling for hits. (Especially if the word Epic is in front of the aforementioned two.)

It was a CRIMINAL ATTACK, to which Sony responded by shutting down their servers to protect what remained. GET IT THROUGH YOUR THICK SKULLS.

you know what i have had the ps3 almost since launch its one of the first fat 60s.

this psn down time is kinda an anoyance but all my true friends on psn i talk to on the phone, text, email which i do all 3 of them everyday anyhow and the rest of my friends list on my psn are nto real friends anyhow just people i play a select few games with so i dont feel lost out in the keepin in touch with people.

if i just bought a ps3 the day before it went down i would be pissed. but having my machine since luanch it really isnt that big of a deal.

think this is the last one of these articles im gonna read. i keep saying that but for somereason i keep clickin them. i have seen enough of them its the same shit
