I can imagine their list of demands:

We want all pizza stains to be removed from boxers/shirts etc.
Our moms to make meatloaf
Girls to like us
All platinum trophies
Batmobile

This really sucks no MLBTV or Netflix! I hope they fix this soon.

I remember the issues with some folks being unable to Auto sign-in/not signing in at all over the weekend through the early part of this week (it was noted that a AT&T backbone prob might've been at fault since it was only affecting some folks- I wasn't since I was on Comcast).

Then some people were having issues yesterday, and apparently even the Playstation.com website was down for maintenance, which seemed to point that it was a whole new issue that was on Sony's side now. As of last night, I couldn't log in either.

The issue over the weekend may have been isolated to a non-Sony side issue, but this newer one since yesterday may be on Sony's side. Throw in the possibility that it may be a renewed attack/residual damage from Anonymous not to mention everyone's (including my own) perspective on what is going on, and you're looking at a state of mass confusion.

I'll just wait until later in the day for this thing to hopefully resolve itself. In the meantime, back to some more GT5 B-Spec'ing for my Bob so's I can get that Air of Experience trophy

Actually they were

1. Restore otheros (much more wordy version)
2. Drop charges on there members that have been arrested
3. Do not press charges on people who watched videos
of jailbreaking ps3s or people who visited sites giving
explanations on how to do it.

I think there doing this about num 2 personally.

I know they (Sony) settled with Geohot (Or whatever his name is) but there are more?

I think I know what it might be. GlaDOS is trying to take over the PSN!

I have Verizon Fios and I've been having trouble since the weekend.

Will I be able to play new games? I just got Socom 4 and want to play it but doesn't the game need to install from PSN?

Yeah, Sony also included some members of fail0verflow in the lawsuit with geohot as they provided information regarding the PS3's security exploit via the OtherOS feature.

Latest Update on PSN Outage
+ Posted by Patrick Seybold // Sr. Director, Corporate Communications & Social Media
While we are investigating the cause of the Network outage, we wanted to alert you that it may be a full day or two before we’re able to get the service completely back up and running. Thank you very much for your patience while we work to resolve this matter. Please stay tuned to this space for more details, and we’ll update you again as soon as we can.

Not cool!

[mroe3469]

So I can't sign in at all. Is there no way to sign in?

Hoooooo boy. I'm hoping Sony has some freebies to pitch after this is all said and done. Not that I'm asking for 'em, mind you, but I wouldn't mind a discount on Arcana Heart 3 in the PSN

[Denoku]

PSN was working fine for me yesterday but I haven't been able to sign in all day This sucks. From what I read it should be fixed later tonight though all over. Europe first and North American following. Here's hoping

[alphapyro]

I've been having the same issues... I've found that if I turn off and back on my PS3 again and then manually sign on I'll have no issues, otherwise I have to repeatedly attempt to log in, and auto-sign on has been bunk for a few days now anyways.


I actually thought my phat 60gb ps3 was finally biting the dust until I saw this thread.

[raygendreau]

Well, it doesn't stop me from streaming Netflix, which is my primary concern.
I can stream wirelessly to my Sony display, BDP570 or laptop in addition to the PS3. Redundency comes in handy, once in a while.

[Petra_Kalbrain]

Those of you asking for freebies after the PSN returns to normal, you are dreaming some pretty big dreams there!

The PSN has been down like this before. Nobody was ever "reimbursed" for temporary lack of access to a FREE service.

PS+ Members already get free and discounted content... so you have nothing to complain about.

Those with Netflix might have something to argue about. However, there isn't much they will be able to get out of it since your Netflix account still works on every other electronic device you own.

I hate to burst everyones bubbles, but I'm just being realistic here.

Unfortunate for me that the only access to VUDU is via my PS3.

Doesn't Netflix on your PS3 use the PSN account to authenticate? I'm not really sure how Netflix using other players works, do you need to use a sign-in id and password?

SCEE just spoke up about the recent PSN issues, claiming an attack of some sort from an outside party:

"As you are no doubt aware, the current emergency outage is continuing this afternoon and all Sony Online Network services remain unavailable. Our support teams are investigating the cause of the problem, including the possibility of targeted behaviour by an outside party. If the reported Network problems are indeed caused by such acts, we would like to once again thank our customers who have borne the brunt of the attack through interrupted service."

Anonymous is claiming innocence on this one, but either way this just sucks
