A quick question PSN users. What does it mean when you make p'PS4 ur primary console?? Does that mean that you can't log on to PSN on your PS3 or download?? Never understood that measage when logging on to PSN on PS4
Support does not have that ability, unfortunately. Several threads have been made about this problem.Thank you -- that's actually what I tried first, unfortunately the option is not there for me. Instead I get an error stating that since I have recently deactivated systems from my account, I can now only do so from the actual console. I learned tonight that you are only allowed to use that function from the website once every 6 months. Waiting on chat support now to see if they will override for me :/

Sounds like a DDOS attempt which means no it's not a hack.
Will probably have to wait a day to be sure but as far as I aware there has been no true hacks of PSN since 2009
It's the MO for Sony, have the shittiest community communication possible.So have Sony explained why it was down yet? Strange to have maintenance without any warning at all.
Oh wow
So I guess I can't activate for another 6 months. That's frustrating considering it was not me who authorized the deactivation to begin with.
Thanks anyway, I was not aware of this before.
Edit: On with chat support now anyway -- says he can help; we'll see....
Your right a bit of honesty wouldn't kill themIt's the MO for Sony, have the shittiest community communication possible.
It was in 2011. Not sure why people keep saying 2009.

I have the same problem. Let me know if you get it resolved...
Nah, that's Valve. As much as I fucking love them and Dota, I'd be lying if I didn't say that I think they are worse than Sony in these regards.It's the MO for Sony, have the shittiest community communication possible.

Everything should be good to go.Did stability issues sorted out yet? NYC here and haven't checked the service yet, but when I tried playing BO3 earlier in the day....no dice.

Will do. He directed me to a console deactivation request form, says a specialist can do it. Did you ever try that?
The form has a field for serial number, so I told him I have no way of knowing the serial of the active console, but he insists that I should enter the serial of the console I want activated, not deactivated. Seems strange, but I'll give it a try.
Edit: This is the form
Yay, a one day extension that will bump 4-ish years of content straight to the top of my download list.
Can I opt out? Ehhhhhhh
South Georgia is up. I decided to try the ps now free trial. It's actually pretty damn good. I may actually buy the 1 year service.
Did they ever say what happened? Nice of them to offer something, though.
Really, for a single day? That's nice of them and all, but odd.
Well considering how long it was out for why should it be longer?
They shouldn't be giving anything out for a single day of interrupted service, it's unusual.

Why exactly is it unusual that they would compensate customers of a paid service for unplanned downtime?
Sir what exactly are you looking/expecting here from SONY...a $1 added on your account?
um.....it happens to all services once in awhile. PSN held up perfectly fine during the holidays........hell there was a day, even two last few weeks that xbox had issues. But
shitpost away
I'm not looking for anything but I think it's fairly odvious that by compensation of a subscription I mean an extension of your service by x days.
It's an all round pretty easy way to keep your customer happy when you've not been able to deliver your service for whatever reason.
Seen a few tales now in the last week of people's PS4 activations being messed with and its making me anxious. I'm in a position where my US account is my primary but my main account (EU) isn't. I log in as EU and can play games from both accounts. What's the best way to check I haven't been compromised? Make the US account non primary, check I can switch the EU to primary then flip it back again?
You can have multiple Primary accounts on a console. You can only have one Primary console per account. You can just check on the EU account without touching the US one. Just play some digital EU games on your US account to check.
Stating facts doesn't qualify as a shit-post. PSN reliability/uptime has had issues with reliability and speed over the past 2+ years since the PS4 launch. I think a lot of people who have otherwise strongly supported Sony (myself included) are merely calling them out for not using PS+ money to improve servers as promised. My experience on XBL has been night and day better over the same time period.
