If it helps blizzard is having a scheduled maintenance for WOW as well :lol

Oh snap, in-game World of Warcraft!

*runs off to spread rumors on lesser forums*

 

[Unregistered007]

I love how some peeps (not everyone on GAF or in this thread) are acting like 2.40 is the second coming. It will be awesome to finally have these features whenever it rolls out, but seriously...It's not going to save any starving kids in Africa.

it CAN, STOP paying for XBOX Live and donate 50 to save lives.:lol:lol

So much for having the afternoon off to play Battlefield.

This is just a regularly scheduled maintenance; it has absolutely nothing to do with firmware updates. We're sorry for any confusion.

There you have it ..

Haven't read this thread...has anyone noticed this?

June 24....2.4....coincidence?

 

[Y2Kev]

you know what i do? i just turn the phone off.

It doesn't change the fact that responsibilities are different now. You're expected to be in touch. People become slaves to technology.

You are as late as my girlfriends period...

Spoiler

dear god...

 

[Evander]

im fairly sure there will be trophies for mgs4, but NOT every other game released prior to it. insomniac said theyre not updating resistance 1 for trophies and they're a first party dev, so chances are that most if not all the games that have already released will not be getting trophy support.

Wouldn't it have been fairly easy to update R1 (compared to other games) since it alreadyhas the skill point system built in?



It's going to be interesting seeing if a lack of trophies has any effect on the sales of older games once trophies become standard.

 

[androvsky]

There's reports floating around from a fairly solid-sounding source that 2.4 is hitting July 2nd or 3rd. Release was going to be June 18 but they found a pretty big bug.

You are as late as my girlfriends period...

dear god...

Women can randomly be two weeks late... apparently so can Sony.

I've known your anxiety

There you have it ..

Eh I still think this has to do with 2.4

It may not release today but it looks like its going down for longer than usual and the fact that you cant play online games just makes it seem like it has to do with 2.4

Guess we'll see...15 more minutes till it starts.

Yeah, that same link was posted last night but it seems that everyone just kinda looked over it and kept praying for 2.40

HOLY SHIT!!!111 FIRMWARE 2.40 INCOMING!!!!11111ONE11

PEACE.

 

[Pimpwerx]

lol you guys are all setting yourselves up for failure. You're getting all excited and shit over normal maintenance.

When's the last time PSN was down from 11am-5pm EST on a weekday? Business hours on the east coast during the week? And it's a Tuesday too, when all firmwares lately have come on Wednesdays @ 1-2am EST. Yup, this is 2.40 or something more serious. I'm leaning towards it being 2.40. Especially since evilone seemed so adamant about it. PEACE.

 

[Steroyd]

Well I can't log on.

I feel so naked.

Oh it was just my Wifi connection being shit. :lol

 

[WiiRevolution1]

And its down!

Bye MGO

 

[User2k]

It's a Holiday up here in Quebecicaland. No MGO for me today I guess .

 

[Roxas]

im still online playing CoD4...

 

[Aeon712]

Perfect day for me to have a 10hr work day. When I come home I expect an increased friends limit.

 

[overthehill99]

Why do we get our hopes up......

Don't.

Didn't Sony already confirm its not 2.4?

Dyack, is that you?! I started reading that book you sent me a link to, it's awesome so far!

 

[karasu]

It has begun!

 

[Dorfdad]

what book? we have some down time so let us in on the awesomeness!

 

[Speevy]

What will I do? Oh, I know. Work.

 

[Gamer @ Heart]

MGO isnt affected because it uses Konami servers and ID's right?

 

[BobTheFork]

MSO isnt affected because it uses Konami servers and ID's right?

you still have to be logged into the psn to play.
This would be a great time for Everyone to knock out their Big Boss emblem.

 

[Moray]

what book? we have some down time so let us in on the awesomeness!

The Real World of Technology by Ursula Franklin. I bought it for $2 used off of Amazon after listening to that 1UP Yours with Dyack. Great book and a quick read.

 

[Speevy]

Can you use the PS3's web browser?

 

[BobTheFork]

yes

 

[Tr4nce]

its not 2.40 we just got a new firmware update last week.

IIRC, it has happened before. Oh God, please give us 2.40 already!!

Spoiler

I have little faith though.

This.

Why wouldn't they do maintenance in early morning hours like most every other company. I'm not saying it's 2.4 but why do it in the middle of day. That just seems odd.

 

[h3ro]

I think its more to prepare the servers and background stuff for 2.4 than it is for the actual release. I'm sure there is a large amount of changes that need to be done to the servers to handle the new info (Trophies, Invites, etc) that will be constantly accessed now across PSN.

 

[Inanna]

2.40 incoming?

I HOPE SO!

I'm from the UK, and I can't login .. It's annnoooyyyiiinnnggg!

Yup.

If they aren't giving us 2.4, then they are at least preparing for 2.4. There's going to be a swarm of people going online to grab the update, go check out trophies, etc, etc... That's going to be a big strain that I'm sure they want to prepare for and make sure it holds up.

I still want to believe though!

 

[user friendly]

Apparently server side updates are almost complete and all that's left after that is deployment. Just passing along the message and whether or not that means this weekend or by the end of today is yet to be found out.

 

[FabCam]

I doubt we'll get 2.4 tomorrow, but it shows that it is coming soon. This is just the preparation.

 

[eznark]

2.4 will hit early next week. In the meantime, I can't play Battlefield before class tonight.

God damn it.

Source?

Just saying "Deployment" in there makes me curious

and sad because it may not be true :'(

All aboard the soon-to-crash hype train!!!! TOOT TOOT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

[Doel]

Does taking PSN offline also take the private PSN (for the media and internal development) offline too? Cause there is a SOCOM media event today, and I'm just trying to figure out how they are going to play an online-only game without PSN...
