I agree.. The reality is network security is just code and sooner or later someone with a shitty attitude and better code will come along... It's the fact of the digital age..
So 2011 is light years beyond 2007? LOL.. It is still using the same tech dude..
How about this.. PSN is shut down because of HACKERS! Gaining access to private information and using it to damage Sony.
Live goes down and stays down because of BANDWIDTH...
Sony has to dump their old servers and back up onto new servers... I think Sony's problem is a little more severe..
It is clear now that you are one of those 14 year...
The Hip changes the title and his comment... realllllll slick man!
@ Guigsy- Live was OUT either entirely or periodically for 11 days starting on December 22, 2007. I don't care if it was a bandwidth issue or a hacking issue or a dumb IT error.. The point EVERYONE is making regarding the story is that it was OUT for 11 days....
You are dumber then that xbox controller you hold...
As everyone else pointed out.. 2007....
Sony is a multi billion dollar international company and that REALITY is that their image/reputation will only be affected by a very very very small % of their clients.. Do I need to point you in the direction of Microsoft and the RROD??? The fact of the matter is the people who 'complain' on the interwebz talking about disowning Sony and such will be the first ones in line for PS4 and the NGP and will forever sport the Sony name...
but Donnie according to you we should be demanding answers!!! Sometimes you gotta sue a company for them to pay attention to ya....
My bet. Some small number of people will sue, unsuccessfully of course because they can and because there will always be people who feel entitled to everything and anything...
One more thing.. Why are people going on and on and on about personal information...
Sony does not have ANY information that can result ...
OMG!!!! wtf is wrong with you people!!!
You would spend the time writing up an article rather then turn ON your PS3 and check for yourself... Geezzzz!
If you had any idea you would know that it has been doing that since Wednesday.. If you go through a few pages on the site or hit refresh a few time it WILL say offline... Why? Because it IS.. God.. You should be banned from n4g...
There are a ton of reasons why Sony will NOT tell you how long it will take but the biggest reason is saving face.
Picture this.
"I have some information for PSN users today. As of now our goal is to have the PSN back up and running in 48hrs. I can not guarantee this time frame but it is our goal"
*raging gamer* "Sony says it will be back online in 48hrs FOR SURE"
48hrs later......
"H...
99% of the stuff on this site is conjecture man.. Why is this different? Also not to mention the title is posing a question not making a statement... It does allow the people that read it to speculate though, which is technically fine... It is also the reason why there is a 'Is this rumor true' bar..... You seem butt hurt over this article. Why?
This does make complete sense and is 100% possible. It would also explain the amount of time the PSN has been down. Either way, being a trophy whore has been great the past 5 days.
JUST finished a new play through of inFAMOUS and I can not wait for 2 to drop!!! I wish I were in the beta...
I am completely disgusted at these gaming websites the past 5 days... Totally 100% unprofessional and downright delinquent. Seriously loot-ninja.. WTF?
Thank you!
I was wondering if it was a 'keep me logged in' type of thing.. I just figured if the servers were offline there would be no way to validate that log-in... Thanks again!
blogspot.....
This is like 2 days old... Get a new profession
This is sort of off topic:
Can anyone explain to me why people are capable of logging into their PSN accounts on blog.playstation and post comments.... This has baffled me all day. I sure as hell can't log in. I keep getting the generic maintenance message...
Anyone? Thanks!
lol
I am done with the internetz for today
Yes, however, it is exactly like the 2008 stock market crash. Activision is a public company who's only bottom line is profit. He brings profit. He gets to stay. And when the day comes that Activision or Kotick fall, will be the day the next SOB of a CEO steps up to replace Kotick to find a new set of gaming franchises to boost the company and to allow it to fall all over again...
However, as much as I would love to believe it, I don't see CoD or Activision falling anytime so...
It is sick.. Don't forget this is on PC though.
I love the that dirt is kicked up every time a boot hits the ground.
The A.I does look a lil lack luster but this is pre-alpha code.
I don't like the fact that you can shoot cars with bullets to blow them up...
Overall though, this is already miles ahead of any other shooter on the market and will hopefully give CoD franchise something to think about...
Agreed!!!
DICE already stated console won't look as good as PC..duh..
I hate modern gaming websites... You all suck
Because it was NEVER based as fact.. The article always imposed a question rather that a fact.
If it said.
'The REAL Reason Why PSN is Down'
But instead it says
'Is This The Real Reason?'
This allows people to decide or not for themselves. The article does nothing to suggest otherwise. And it does add something to the table. It adds something that COULD be true..
This all goes back to ...
