Oh Kagari, you cannot fool me. Girls on the internet is just an urban legend.

People seem to like me because I am polite and I am rarely late. I like to eat ice cream and I really enjoy a nice pair of slacks.

I'll predict something: Kagari, the guy mod at Neogaf, will get famous in Kotaku/1up/Gamespot/IGN because PSN will be coming soon before the end of May.

Well, Sony have learned from these threads -hi kaz- that people can be patient and are still having faith in them. I mean no one here killed someone or sold their PS3 in response to the outage... So yeah, they might postpone online play to the end of the month so that everything is brought back together (store/transactions/welcome-back offers/gameplay/etc.)Oni Jazar said:

The ads for this page have nothing to do with anything relevant. There's an offer for a burger at Southend; Southend being an hour's drive away makes that useless for me even if I did want a burger. But what the hell does it have to do with anything?
Edit: oh, what the hell. I'm gonna click on a few adverts anyhow.

Insane For Sony
At this point it's safe to say that Other OS removal is practically nothing on the scale of wrongdoing compared to the damage caused to end user by this data theft and subsequent service shut down. Noone really cared about OtherOS, it was just a matter of principle. This on the other hand is something everyone used more or less on a daily basis, (not to mention the potential identity theft that some people could face over this).3rdman said:

I agree with this. When you think about it, if Sony had just left otherOS in, more than likely they wouldn't have gotten hacked like this.Lord Error said:

Oh, there's an ad for an xbox console healer. I kid you not. Let me refresh and see if it comes back. Yep, here it is.*
lol!
Well if we are going to lose our heads slightly, might as well make Neogaf some money as we do it.
Ps. I'm playing final fantasy XIII; can't find the official thread; I forgot how beautiful some of the locations were.
Edit:* the link said the heal xboxes, but at the website, they all the modern consoles. Why is xbox coming up in a psn thread? shouldn't it be ps3 healer or something?

If there is one compliment I can give that game, it's that it is very beautiful.Ashes1396 said:

Developer PlayStation Network Back Online, But Not Without Issues
Added by Patrick Klepek on May 13, 2011
It's baby steps for PlayStation Network, with developer sources informing me the developer version of PSN is online. Whatever steps Sony took to get PSN up and running, however, has broken some pieces.
Right now, developers are unable to register new accounts on PSN, only perform a recovery process on individual accounts. The problem? In order to facilitate testing, developers often created many, many dummy accounts with fake personal information. In order to recover an account, you need to know the personal information entered when the account was created. No surprise: most didn't write that down.
When reached for comment, Sony would not confirm the status of the developer-side PSN.
"We said in this post last week that we've begun internal restoration," said a spokesperson.
As I reported last night, PSN's three week hiatus has directly affected game development at several studios, as some have been unable to engage in active multiplayer testing for nearly a month now. As developers are able to bypass the login screen, shooters have been largely okay; those games connect to servers running independent of PSN. Games that access the friends list do not have the same option.
The continued issues have frustrated developers I've talked, too, while inspiring relief in others.
"I've never been more grateful to only work on single player games," said one developer
lol

You speak words of truthiness and wisdom.
I wonder what (if any) fundamental changes has been brought about by this downtime. I would imagine that things they had planned for slow integration could be sped up because of the downtime.

Nathan Drake didnt die there, only wounded, same situation with PSN hehe :\Hanmik said:
Personally i guess that his comment was mostly (or maybe only) based on the people who kinda mostly blamed Sony for this PSN hack (those "not good enough security! It is Sony's fault for getting hacked!" comments) and that this wasnt fair saying.3rdman said:
Many cared but it's not worth rehashing...In any case, when Sony went sue-happy and did the blame game; all the while, not properly securing their online service, they've do nothing but prove their incompetence.Lord Error said:
I feel for the people affected (I am one of them as well, by the way) but I won't feel sympathy for a corporation that should have listened to their customers...even the less savory ones.

I could have even tolerated the writing. It was the absolute linearity of it that killed it for me. Hell, White Knight Chronicles had terrible fucking writing, but it was tolerable due to the open world.LiK said:
