PSN down?

Didn't think you had a PS4.
Isn't it just because of all the sales / high traffic?
Sorry, just checked the PSN status site and saw that servers were fine and didn't find anyone complaining, also I have friends playing, so I though yesterday problems were solved and it was just me.

It's down for me here in the UK.
And yet, there's a guy on my Friendslist (which is active still somehow) and he's playing a Destiny Strike. He lives like 10 minutes from me.
What the hell?

If you want to confirm it's down, try https://store.playstation.com/#!/en-gb (and then the account management page). Both are down. The core Sony services appear to have gone offline too.
Lizard Squad are claiming it on Twitter.

It's random, I am online and live in UK. But for me connecting to the Battlefront servers are messing up. I am lagging bad.
It was down for me last night as well, but I've been playing destiny for the past 4 hours, so everything fine on my end.

Nothing, just trying to understand your penchant for appearing in PS4 threads.

Lizard Squad claim everything, doesn't mean its true.

Yeah, it's totally unheard of that someone is interested in a product that they currently do not own.

mine was all green despite not being able to go online and the ps store being down
Yeah, they just updated it.
And of course Lizard Squad fucking idiots claim these things. But they did tweet they were going to start doing it before the issues started. And let's face it - America is asleep and still the system is drifting offline. Either Sony are totally incompetent still, or teens are DDoS'ing it - neither option is great.

It was down for me when I logged in 5 minutes ago, but I tried to sign in straight after and it worked.
They gave advance notice of their intent some hours before the attacks started. They have proven form, and some of their members have been arrested and questioned by regional authorities. Attack looks real to me.
EDIT: Parents with new systems would be wise to create new accounts before Xmas morning, to save some heartache.

I just want to buy a game.
Are they not just like anonymous these days?
anyone can call themselves lizard squad.
Loads of new owners trying to log on to get updates, go to the store etc etc it happens. It's 8:40 in NY so people will be up.
It's been up and down for many hours now, in fairness.
And? Europe is a big place. Black Friday isn't just a US thing anymore.

With your history of starting arguments in PS4 threads it is not to be unexpected to be wary of your motives.

You're seeing ghosts.
I'm just saying - multiple previous large PSN outages have been caused by Lizard Squad members. So it's within possibility they caused this again. Ideally a bunch of PS activations shouldn't bring down Sony.
It happens every holiday/ sale. Until some random claiming to be Lizard Squad do it on a random day and have proof I will call it bullshit. Claiming to ddos a network during a holiday/sale is too easy to do.
Ideally they wouldn't but they could. People should expect something similar around Christmas as well. And some people do expect it. So anyone can make a claim that they are going to attack PSN in the name of whatever group. Some people will always be suspect of the groups who claim responsibility of these attacks around these times. So we can't know for sure what is happening all the time.

Singleplayer to the rescue, good thing I decided to wait on need for speed.
It is far far far better then last gen. But yeah still needs improving.
Amusingly the single player of Rainbow Six Siege doesn't start unless you can sign in to the servers.
PS Plus for online gaming is to make money. And its been a long time since I did a set up but pretty sure you can create an account and register on PSN for free which does require connection to their servers.

Had my PS4 for a year today and use it daily. Outside of last Christmas' DDOS chaos, this weekend is maybe the 2nd or 3rd time I've had prolonged issues with PSN.

Was having trouble yesterday myself around the same time other people were complaining.
I could sign on enough to get into a chat party, but Destiny would give me one of 2 errors about not reaching PSN. Tried a few things, but restarting my router and modem immediately got me back online.
Annecdotally, I feel like when PSN is having trouble, but many people are still connecting, a modem restart can do good things.
Good luck to all!
