PSUHeckler Posted April 25, 2011 Share Posted April 25, 2011 I saw this was in the Black Ops thread, but anyone else getting irritated with this? PSN has been "under maintenance" for several days now. Think it's going on day 5. Couple links below but evidently it was because of an outside source/hackers. Evidently there is STILL no timetable of when it will be up. At this point I imagine 360 users appreciate their online, having to pay for it or not. As CoD is the only game I basically play or own it's pretty annoying. I know allot of Madden/NHL fans are prolly in the same boat. http://www.betanews.com/article/With-PlayStation-Network-still-down-Sony-admits-it-was-hacked/1303586929 http://www.1up.com/news/playstation-network-still-downre-no-return-timeframe (To help some people out, too, I've seen some posts on here and other sites they can't get into their Netflix. Not sure if it's just me but try this next time. Try to sign onto Netflix. When it prompts you for your username/password, enter anything and press "sign-in." It will say "under maintenance." It should load but will bring up the username/password again. Do the same thing, and press sign in. If it works like mine, it bypasses and allows you into Netflix.)

PokerPacker Posted April 25, 2011 Share Posted April 25, 2011 I'm betting its an internal problem and Sony's trying to blame someone else. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Patrick86L Posted April 25, 2011 Share Posted April 25, 2011 they are trying to find a way to stop people from modding the ps3's and getting everything in the psn store for free. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ChampSkinsFanatic Posted April 25, 2011 Share Posted April 25, 2011 Yeah Netflix works fine for me Thats because netflix doesnt depend on the PSN. This being down thing has been pissing me off especially since Socom 4 just came out on the 19th and I just payed verizon to get my internet back up. I'm tired of playing games against the computer.

The Evil Genius Posted April 25, 2011 Share Posted April 25, 2011 They had an outside intrusion. I suspect is directly linked to the hacked ps3s a few months ago. This is a free service - not sure why people expect Live level service. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mjah Posted April 25, 2011 Share Posted April 25, 2011 I just used Netflix last night on my PS3. No problems. I rarely play online anyway and only buy stuff on there occasionally, so it doesn't really bother me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anonymous takes credit for their work, like the last time they hacked the PSN. They are denying involvement in this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fan since a Fetus Posted April 25, 2011 Share Posted April 25, 2011 What I read yesterday is that they are rebuilding the PSN with the hopes of stopping the hackers. I guess I really do not care. I only download demos and watch Netflix. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's not likely card data was stolen because it's stored by a 3rd party. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Evil Genius Posted April 25, 2011 Share Posted April 25, 2011 Sorry but i'd rather go without PSN for a week than pay $500 a year. Math fail. $40 (and it's now officially $50) a year. Not a month. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
G.A.C.O.L.B. Posted April 25, 2011 Share Posted April 25, 2011 Do the math again;) Math never was my strong suit, lol. But still, my point stands. I'd rather go without it for a week than pay anything, period. But again, I don't use it enough to really miss it. And when I do, I don't really see anything I'm missing that id actually want to pay for. I don't care much about the whole console wars outside of this ridiculous idea that the Wii is the best. I think the PS3 is better for those who don't play online as much, and the 360 for those who do. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChampSkinsFanatic Posted April 25, 2011 Share Posted April 25, 2011 PS3 is the best all around system Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kubstix Posted April 25, 2011 Share Posted April 25, 2011 PS3 is the best all around system I have both. PS3 is great for blu-ray, but that's it. The controller is garbage, the exclusive games are below average, the games available to both systems run like trash on PS3 compared to 360, and the PS3 network is beyond garbage. Yeah, it's definitely the best all around system...... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The only part of what you said that doesn't boil down to simple opinion is the part about which games run better on which system and, contrary to what you seem to believe, that actually varies from game to game.

Since when does ES turn down an opportunity for people to pretend to be an authority on any given subject while simultaneously displaying a complete inability to even see the merits of opposing viewpoints? Besides, everyone knows Nintendo is just for little kids. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
