[Dedication Through Light]

Am I the only one that wants the store back asap?

Ive been dying to get that Sims 3 DLC and the Hot Pursuit DLC and another song pack for DDR!

 

[Karram]

I'll be so damn piseed if I still can't redeem Portal 2 after the service is up.

 

[LiquidMetal14]

The welcome back program fucking sucks.

For SOE, not for PSN folk.

[Combichristoffersen]

So uh... you want PSN to sink again?

Better the Titanic than the Vasa!

Vasa (or Wasa) was a Swedish warship that was built from 1626 to 1628. The ship foundered and sank after sailing less than a nautical mile (ca 2 km) into her maiden voyage on 10 August 1628

IIRC king Gustavus Adolphus almost bankrupted Sweden by building the Vasa :lol

 

[VeryGooster]

[H_Prestige]

The welcome back program fucking sucks.

Hopefully PSN's offer is better than that.

 

[TheSeks]

Am I the only one that wants the store back asap?

Yes. Right now I can't care since Portal 2 doesn't need it. JUST LET ME SYNC MY STEAM, DAMN IT.

 

[RPGCrazied]

The welcome back program fucking sucks.

That just looks like MMO's. That's not the games they are gonna offer.

 

[cnizzle06]

I get to try out the online portion of RDR! Is it as crappy as I hear?!

 

[kinoki]

The welcome back program fucking sucks.

That's SOE's Welcome back... and I'm guessing the people who play those games will be more thankful that they can play again than any of the other gifts.

 

[Andrefpvs]

But 1 AM GMT is actually in an hour and 15 min. BST or whatever 1 am might be 15 min. though...

No, it's daylight saving time (+1 hour) right now, so 1am in London and Lisbon will be in 12 minutes now. Sorry for causing you a misunderstanding.

 

[Rewrite]

lol @ SOE's welcome back program. Let's hope PSN's program doesn't suck.

 

[Guts Of Thor]

I just may go out and buy a PSN card to get Contra Hard Corps.

 

[Metalmurphy]

Your stick formatted to FAT 32?

Did you remember to put it in the correct folders?

 

[santi_yo]

Geoff Keighley: "PSN is coming back online! Sony just sent out a press release.

 

[le.phat]

That's for SoE...

oh yeah, well for paying customers of their services the rewards still kind of seem meager, no ?
i just want free gamz mang...

 

[Dibbz]

So is PSN back on? As in can I sign in or is it just the firmware to change my password? Downloading right now.

 

[polyh3dron]

QRIOCITY IS COMING BACK FUCK YES FINALLY

 

[Rubenov]

So the question now is, GAF should I buy SOCOM 4?

 

[Professor Beef]

I get to try out the online portion of RDR! Is it as crappy as I hear?!

By yourself? Kinda. With friends, much less.

 

[xKilltheMx]

So many fallen PSN Brothers as we got to this point. I'll see you guys on the other side. First on the list - PORTAL CO-OP HELL YESSSSSSS

 

[StuBurns]

Your stick formatted to FAT 32?

Yeah, well, it's on a FAT32 partition.

 

[macewank]

The welcome back program fucking sucks.

Uh. That's just for the MMOs. What'd you expect?

 

[kamorra]

Am I the only one that wants the store back asap?

I feel like I'm the only one who only wants the store back.

 

[iceatcs]

Seriously it is biggest news since Magnavox Odyssey released.

 

[Greg]

Damnit, I laughed.

 

[Metalmurphy]

So is PSN back on? As in can I sign in or is it just the firmware to change my password? Downloading right now.

Just firmware for now. Servers at 1AM PST supposedly

 

[Andrefpvs]

What's New feature is already working in some regions, check it out.

 

[IrishNinja]

That guy who sold his 45 games looks really dumb right about now.

if it came back a month later, he'd still look pretty dumb.

Yes. Right now I can't care since Portal 2 doesn't need it. JUST LET ME SYNC MY STEAM, DAMN IT.

[Gary Whitta]

So is PSN back on? As in can I sign in or is it just the firmware to change my password? Downloading right now.

You cannot sign in. Maybe in 10 minutes if Eurogamer is to be believed!

 

[TwIsTeD]

Sitting at 22%....would really love to play some Socom 4 online tonight.... make it happen Kaz

 

[Rewrite]

QRIOCITY IS COMING BACK FUCK YES FINALLY

I can't stop laughing. Damn. Damn you.

 

[GodofWine]

So uh... you want PSN to sink again?

OK...I hope they raised the titanic and put some sweet ass guns on it, and sharks with freakin laser beams!!!!!!!!!! GO PSN GO

 

[LiK]

You cannot sign in. Maybe in 10 minutes if Eurogamer is to be believed!

Eurogamer better be right.

 

[LiquidMetal14]

Damnit, I laughed.

You son of the bitch

 

[Carl]

What's the folder order for the update from USB??

 

[SolidSnakex]

Presumably he looked dumb the instant he sold them, unless you were someone who believed PSN would NEVER come back up.

I'd like to know what type of money/credit he got for those games. If he did it at Gamestop then they probably ripped him off big time.

 

[cnizzle06]

By yourself? Kinda. With friends, much less.

I have no friends who have a PS3!

Huzzah!

 

[Metalmurphy]

oh yeah, well for paying customers of their services the rewards still kind of seem meager, no ?
i just want free gamz mang...

60 free days + free items seems pretty sweet for an MMO.

 

[JABEE]

I hope the US gets two recent PS3 games as downloads. Have they announced the European PS3 games?

 

[Kagari]

From Eurogamer:

Sony has outlined its plan for the restoration of the PlayStation Network following the release of new firmware.

The phased restoration is on a country by country basis beginning in the Americas, Europe, Australia, New Zealand and the Middle East.

The first phase for North America and Europe includes:

Sign-in for PlayStation Network and Qriocity services, including the resetting of passwords.
Restoration of online gameplay across PlayStation 3 and PSP.
Playback rental video content, if within rental period, of PlayStation Store Video Store on PS3, PSP and Media Go.
Music Unlimited, for current subscribers, on PS3 and PC.
Access to third party services such as VidZone and MUBI.
Friends' category on PS3, including Friends List, Chat Functionality, Trophy Comparison, etc.
PlayStation Home.

"I'd like to send my sincere regret for the inconvenience this incident has caused you, and want to thank you all for the kind patience you've shown as we worked through the restoration process," Sony chief Kaz Hirai said.

"I can't thank you enough for your patience and support during this time. We know even the most loyal customers have been frustrated by this process and are anxious to use their Sony products and services again. We are taking aggressive action at all levels to address the concerns that were raised by this incident, and are making consumer data protection a full time, company-wide commitment.

"While we understand the importance of getting our services back online, we did not rush to do so at the expense of extensively and aggressively testing our enhanced security measures. Our consumers' safety remains our number one priority.

"We want to assure our customers that their personal information is being protected with some of the best security technologies available today, so that everyone can feel comfortable enjoying all that PlayStation Network and Qriocity services have to offer."

Sony confirmed that it expects to have the PSN services fully restored by the end of May 2011.

Meanwhile, Sony has explained how it will better protect user information in the future.

Sony has made "considerable enhancements" to its data security, including updating and adding advanced security technologies, additional software monitoring and penetration and vulnerability testing, and increased levels of encryption and additional firewalls, the company said tonight.

Sony also added a variety of other measures to the network infrastructure including an early warning system for unusual activity patterns that could signal an attempt to compromise the network.

"During the past 18 months, we've seen a dramatic rise in the volume of cyber attacks, their sophistication and their impact on businesses," Francis deSouza, senior vice president, Enterprise Security Group, Symantec, said.

"Thwarting cyber-crime requires an evolutionary approach to security that is well integrated, reduces risk exposure and improves efficiencies.

"Today's cyber crime attacks are proving to be more covert, more targeted and better organized than those we've seen in years past. In working with Sony on the move of their data centre, it's clear they're implementing measures to reduce security risks moving forward."
