This has been going on for a couple days now and it's really starting to irritate me. I don't play on PSN much, but I want something out of the store really bad at the moment.

ANON denies taking out the PSN and Sony refuses to talk (like usual). Sony can't even give an estimate of when they might come back up. Whatever happened, it was bad.

It's been down since Wednesday, very annoying as i just bought Mortal Kombat on Wednesday and it's easter so i actually have time to play now, should have bought the 360 version even though i hate the 360 pad for fighting games :bang2:

 

[Hoofbite]

Just checked XBOX Live.

Just kidding........to anyone who's gonna get pissed.

They've been hacked. And when it comes back on line, you shouldn't log back in for at least three hours after they are back up/

Whys that?

 

[Cajuncowboy]

Whys that?

It has something to do with ensuring the security once the system is back up. They have to do some testing with it live. At least that is what my wife said she read from Little Big Planet.

Latest Update for PSN/Qriocity Services Posted by Patrick Seybold // Sr. Director, Corporate Communications & Social MediaWe 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. Though this task is time-consuming, we decided it was worth the time necessary to provide the system with additional security.

We thank you for your patience to date and ask for a little more while we move towards completion of this project. We will continue to give you updates as they become available.

Hell no

 

[Garland powerplay]

heard a rumor someone hacked in thru call of duty or something.

 

[TheCowboy]

Hell no

Then how come XBOX live never is down and PSN is down more frequently?

I thought it was just me ,this is uncool. Why would they hack this? Is their any monetary value in doing this or is it just like sabotage vandalism like spray painting graffitti?

It was a protest for the way that they(Sony) handled the GeoHot jailbreaking. They wanted to punish GeoHot and everyone for downloading it. Sony got tight last couple of years eliminating features in the PS3 like multi-OS. So GeoHot decided to let people choose how they wanted to use it and undo any Sony updates.
