But seriously, fuck this.

Yea that guy. .

 

[sploatee]

Very frustrating.

Especially as Battlefront is my main game now. Can't sync, so can't get my account on, which means I can't at least play the single player filler to grind some credits. Grumble.

 

[RdN]

What's up with people claiming PSN was hacked? Is there anything that might lead us to think that?

 

[Sniffynose]

Usually the sale prices don't start disappearing until around 3PM EST on Tuesdays, so you should be good - assuming it's up by tomorrow. If it's not then they'll probably extend the sale like the usually do.

Yeah true, hopefully it's up sooner rather than later =/

 

[Mr.Marston]

This is annoying as fuck.

Didn't really care when it used to happen last gen because it was a free service. Just paid £15 for 3 months of PSN yesterday smh.

 

[spectator]

What's up with people claiming PSN was hacked? Is there anything that might lead us to think that?

Besides paranoia?

 

[WITHE1982]

What's up with people claiming PSN was hacked? Is there anything that might lead us to think that?

Nothing TBH. Just panic station due to time of year and the maintenance being unscheduled. I'm sure Sony are a lot more prepared than last time.

 

[PROh1bited]

Has Sony even officially commented on the outage yet?

 

[Justice_Bolt]

And if all else fails there's always board games and books.

Yeah i guess it's time for me to play some board games. Good idea!

 

[Collateral22]

What's up with people claiming PSN was hacked? Is there anything that might lead us to think that?

Dunno but it's funny to see. A DDoS attack happens and people think their data is at risk. Sad that people still fucking DDoS to prove a point though. Sad lives they must live.

 

[The Flop]

Is it a DDOS or what?

 

[Palpable]

Has Sony even officially commented on the outage yet?

Yes, hours ago.

Is it a DDOS or what?

Nothing to indicate as such.

 

[Collateral22]

Ummm what the actual fuck?

 

[brotkasten]

Im pretty sure you can use the browser for youtube if need be.

Yes, I can, but that's not really the point. There's no need for the apps to be linked to PSN at all.

At least they waited until after the holidays.

 

[melkier33]

Is it a DDOS or what?

Most likely, but it's all speculation at this point I think.

 

[KurtSloane]

Good to see that my PS+ Bucks is keeping that rock solid service up and running.

Yawn, often repeated, never funny and clearly not insightful.


Live has had money since the OG Xbox and it still goes down. Has nothing to do with money.

 

[Ninja Scooter]

Ummm what the actual fuck?

Their getting the servers ready for Knack to be the surprise January Plus game.

 

[Draper]

Ha, I literally just placed my CC info on there to buy Dark Souls 2 yesterday.

 

[FullMetaltech]

Ummm what the actual fuck?

Does that say til the 7th? I hope not.

 

[melkier33]

Ummm what the actual fuck?

Didn't catch it at first, wtf?

 

[M52B28]

Ummm what the actual fuck?

What the fuck... Three days offline?

 

[Evolved1]

Lol no way. Haha.

 

[RootCause]

Aww shit! I missed the sale.
I can't fucking believe it.

 

[jaaz]

It's not paranoia. I have good to believe PSN was hacked. My CC information was compromised overnight U.S. EST and attempts were made to make purchases on PSN. Unless this is all an amazing coincidence, PSN was hacked.

 

[SRTtoZ]

Ummmm it better not last until the 7th.

 

[Caayn]

Ummm what the actual fuck?

What the...

Three days unannounced down time? Something is up.

 

[Killer Queen]

This is ridiculous.

 

[MightyHedgehog]

Maybe, if we're lucky and Sony gives enough of a shit, they're migrating all user accounts and content over to a non-shitty network infrastructure.

 

[slabrock]

I can get on the web store via PC for the first time today

 

[JetBlackPanda]

Maybe, if we're lucky and Sony gives enough of a shit, they're migrating all user accounts and content over to a non-shitty network infrastructure.

If this was the case they would have warned everyone. You don't just pull your shit offline for three days.

 

[RootCause]

For real? Damn. Sorry to hear that. I've always used gift cards because of hacking concerns.

 

[RhyDin]

What actually is affected by this? I was in party chat with my friend last night (after midnight EST) and we were doing game sharing fine - I realize that's P2P, though.

 

[The perfect Dark]

Ummm what the actual fuck?

I hope this is a joke ffs

 

[Dragon]

I can get on the web store via PC for the first time today

Yep I can too.

 

[Draper]

What the...

Three days unannounced down time? Something is up.

If that's true, it's gotta be a security breach.

 

[Snowblindvictim]

Might be a hack. A friend of mine's PSN account was compromised, its now tied to a different console than his own. He's been on and off the phone about it for the past two days.

 

[NullPointer]

Ummm what the actual fuck?

Got a URL for that?

The PSN status page (for the US anyway) just shows everything as down with today's date.

 

[Primethius]

I don't see that message on the website. Was it removed?

 

[Daffy Duck]

Guys, three days?

Half Life 3 PS4 exclusive, launching 7th January 2016...believe. #4theplayers

 

[OmegaFax]

Ummm what the actual fuck?

I think someone on Twitter is pulling your leg.

https://www.playstation.com/en-ie/explore/playstation-network/ << Nothing comes up on the top.

 

[Evolved1]

People are pretty quick to jump to conclusions.

 

[Collateral22]

Not trying to discredit what you are saying but if PSN was hacked and CCs were compromised, then more people would have come out and said it.

 

[jaaz]

If you have a credit card on file with PSN, it would be a good idea to check the purchases or pending purchases/attempts made on it since last night.

 

[Saiyan-Rox]

it's there for me

 

[ironcreed]

Ummm what the actual fuck?

No way.

 

[ps3ud0]

The UK site only says:

PlayStation Network is currently unavailable. Click here for more details. 4th January 2016 from 4:30pm to 5:30pm GMT

ps3ud0 8)

ddos != security breach

 

[pixxxelz]

They're getting ready ready for psn 2.0 obviously, we'll finally be able to change our psn's y'all!

 

[OmegaFax]

it's there for me

I see it now. It doesn't come up on the US site but when I changed it to GB English, it's there.

 

[jaaz]

Like I said, it could be a coincidence on my end. But it would be one hell of a coincidence.
