Captain Tuttle's idea is better than mine. It should be back up soon.
I use PSN gift cards for the same reason.
Add it over the computer website, then use it when the network is back up.
Three generations of reliable game systems and you want to jump
ship because of a network outage?
I'll bet there are two kinds of disagrees for your comment: sony fanboys, and RRoD victims.
Each point deserves a separate comment.
#1 If this is accurate...... it doesn't apply to me because Sony doesn't have my credit card info. I use PSN gift cards. Still, that much encryption should help people feel better about the security of their credit/debit cards.
#2 Logic that would make Holmes proud.
#3 Makes sense... needs more detail.
#4 I can't see how M$ would launch a cyber attack on Sony... that wou...
Wow... no wonder you're down to one bubble. Not only are you a shameless troll, you apparently skipped one too many spelling classes in 6th grade.
On topic; from playstation.com:
"We sincerely regret that PlayStation Network and Qriocity services have been suspended, and we are WORKING AROUND THE CLOCK to bring them both back online. Our efforts to resolve this matter involve RE-BUILDING OUR SYSTEM to further strengthen our network infrastructure. ...
Who is the bigger troll? Charizard for commenting? Or IGN for posting such a biased article??
And the only reason this comment isn't blocked is every single reason applies and people can't decide. I just went with Immature.
Sony just recently started offering the 15mo ps+ for the price of 12 again, for new subs and renewals. The offer ends May 3rd. It should be extended for however long the outage lasts.
As for compensation, I would like to see a dynamic theme or something similar... just as Sony's way of saying "we apologize for the inconvenience," but no actual reimbursement is required.
One of the big problems with this game is the glitch that bricks your system if you die. So you only get to play it once.
I tried the free Unemployed DLC... I didn't like it, it was too boring. I bought the college expansion instead. It's challenging, but not totally impossible. The Calculus mini-game is kind of tricky, but other than that it's almost a breeze.
The other thing I'm having an issue with is the lack of a health meter. I have to ...
I don't recall the author saying it sucks. He did say that there are a lot of really great things with a zoo that Treyarch didn't do with this map.
Spider-Man 2 for the ps2 was nice. Treyarch made that one. Now they're worthless. Apparently, the only Activision developer that's worth more than a pair of fetid dingo's kidneys anymore is Radical. Prototype is pretty good.
Reason #12 for thinking I would be raising the bar for gaming journalism comes in the. Form of this question: which is abandoned? The Zoo? Or the map of the zoo? To put it another way, is it a map of an abandoned zoo? Or was that map scrapped altogether?
If it's a map of an abandoned zoo, then all you get are a bunch of rotting animal cages. If the map was scrapped, you don't even get that.
(any other studio - creativity) = Treyarch

I'm going to assume your comment is hyperbolic and reply accordingly.
Solid enforcement of the ratings system by the store won't keep M-rated games out of the hands of the children of irresposible parents. Your hyperbolic hypothetical 5 year old didn't buy GTA, his 20 year old mommy did.
If they're the basement dwelling teenage hacker wannabes that consensus seems to think they are, they probably don't know who Guy Fawkes is. It's probably more a V for Vendetta thing. He was after revenge and chaos more than any sort of justice. That sounds more like Anonymous than Guy Fawkes trying to blow up Parliament.
It takes a little doing but you can get to Netflix without logging in to psn. The app loads whether you log in or not. I'm watching Numb3rs right now. Not a fan of Futurama, but that's just my personal taste. I prefer Family Guy.
"...Sony and and [Microsoft's] worst nightmare..."
For about 18 months.
The problem with being first on the market is the other two will have time to tweak their systems for a year or two and release more powerful systems. Look at the difference between the Sega Genesis (1989 in North America) and the Super NES (1991 in North America), or the difference between the Xbox 360 (2005) and the PS3 (2006).

Do none of you remember how bad off we were immediately following the crash in 2008? Or were you too young to notice? and then, Raven_Nomad, if you live anywhere NEAR the Gulf of Mexico, you felt the effect of Deepwater Horizon going kerflooey. Here in the Destin Area we're actually seeing a good influx of tourists. It's looking like our first good year since 2008 at least.
As for the Debt.... Look at how much FDR spent to get us out of the Great Depression. Maybe BH...
You don't think the economy will improve in the next three years? It's improved a bit already in the past three years.
Whenever a big story breaks, there's a four step cycle.
1. Report everything we get our hands on, true or not.
2. A wave of retractions and clarifications as facts become clear.
3. A rash of "in depth analysis"
4. Finally: a spate of "has the media gone too far" pieces
The shortest amount of time between step 1 and step 4 was a week. This time frame happened twice: 9-11 and Janet Jackson's Super Bowl "wardrob...
