Would not be so weird if Sony is doing maintenance now. The servers have been down for a while, might as well add a few extra hours and do everything in one go.

They're claiming they're going to perform a dban. Seems too convenient. What a crap show today.

Looked that up... Well then still don't believe it until shit happens which will suck sadly but this sounds like he is just throwing shit out there. Yep indeed it has been.

XBL should be fine now. Haven't had any issue since it was back up for me.

Yeah but what exactly did Sony plan on doing tomorrow? Was it server wise or more stability.

How long would it take to set it up like Microsoft's multiple data centers?

Possibly. It would be foolish to assume that they're totally immune, but they definitely have more experience in dealing with these sort of attacks compared to Sony. MS have been involved with online services for ages, and as such are a huge target for hackers/script kiddies. It makes sense that they can more easily deal with this sort of thing.

Also, bonus GIF:

The Seattle area (most likely MS HQ) being targeted by hackers. And that's just in one morning.

That is pretty damn cool.

No idea. Perhaps some preparation for the upcoming firmware update they announced on Gamescom? Even though that is a little early.

But how? I have it on wifi.

If you can't get past the user selection screen at all then the only option would be turning off your router/modem. Then if that works, go into settings and disable the network connection - then restart your internet.
