PSN Down.

[coke4]

Sony deserves to feel some pain over this!

The only reason Sony deserve any pain is due to keeping people in the dark. If I can get out of this without my credit card being hacked I really do not give two shits about how long they keep down a free service

About sums it up.

1. I have changed my credit card number. No one can guarantee you that your cards won't be used by the hackers now or in the future.
2. I have lost my confidence towards psn and I will switch to xbox live from now on
3. And so probably that's it for my ts4 career as I am going to play vt4 in xbox live.

I dunno. Obviously you're entitled to feel whatever way you feel about this but I think this is unnecessary and ungrounded. People are too quick to jump on the 'I can't trust Sony anymore' bandwagon. An external hack intrusion can just as likely affect you whatever network you're on. It's not Sony's fault their network got hacked and your personal data got taken. It's the fault of the hackers. Really, the only blame Sony can take for any of this is that they should have communicated a little better with the media and us in the first week of the outage. Anything else is pretty much beyond their control.

And then comes the whole 'PSN is now a bigger threat because it's more likely to be attacked again' thing. Do people here use Facebook? Maybe you shouldn't because right now, that's about the biggest and most obvious target in the world. There are a billion users and think of all the personal data people put on that. So many Facebook users game on it too and constantly make micro-transactions in those games. If anyone got into that, it'd be an unprecedented wealth of information.

Logically speaking, Facebook is a far more likely future target than PSN again so if you're against using PSN in the future then you should really be against being on Facebook.

Seems like it's going to be returning this week.

[tigerofintegrity]

Yeah but they're 'rolling it out by region' so presumably, not everyone here will get it at the same time. Might still be the full week before matches can get up and running again.

[VillaJ100]

In order, Japan, USA, Europe.

[maxkolonko123]

Europe at the end...nice one.....I hope it will be at the beginning of the week, not on sunday evening hehe lol

[ItaStallion]

well it has been 2 weeks and i'm suffering from massive online play withdrawals lol

have bought a few great offline games to keep me occupied while this is happening though. Lets hope Sony can fix this soon.

Also miss playing my ITST matches and Top Spin 4 online as well. I'm going to be real rusty once i get back on.

[Capriatifan]

Would be cool if you get rusty, maybe then I will lose 1 and 0 instead of a double bagel!

Don't know whether this has been reported or not - Sony Online Entertainment was also hacked. Personal details and some financial information leaked out this time.

You get what you pay for with PSN.

[Crotatsuya]

I trust that they have learned their lesson and put extra effort in providing a secure network now.

Xbox Live on the other hand can still be hacked anytime as well, no matter if you paid for it or not. If the hackers wanted they'd do it and the result would be the same i bet. ^^

I finally got the chance to finish Dragon Age Origins though, thought the day would not come. Highly recommended game.
