PSN thread: PSN up in all areas except HK/Korea (Store is not up yet)

[TTP]

MGS Rising is a *November 2012* release?!

 

[Momo]

I was unaware that Kagari got a sex change recently.

Transcending gender and reality a tale eternally retold

 

[spats]

Wipeout: In The Zone? Nice fake.

edit: Oh lol, it's that other Wipeout.

So many of those look placeholder to me.

Rising would get its arse kicked in November.

not in 2012.. no games revealed for that month in 2012 yet..

 

[Galvanise_]

You just know that it'll be full of big games. You'd have another COD etc.

call of duty.. they seem to be anounced pretty late (although it is comon knowledge that CoD games get released in november).. because I do not see MW3 or anything like that on the Gamestops lists..

 

[micster]

Awh. They've turned off Trophy Checking on Facebook now. All you get is a maintenance message. Gonna see this as a positive step.

 

[Scalpel Knight]

Awesome, I think my phat PS3 just died on me. Whenever I turn it on it will stay on for two minutes or less, then it will spontaneously shut off and the power light continuously blinks. I'll probably get a used slim, since I can't seem to fix this problem. Hopefully it arrives by the time PSN is back up.

 

[Galvanise_]

Based on a conversation I've just had, I think a lot of you are going to get some very good news in the next day or so.

Twitter. This might pertain to PSN.

 

[Hanmik]

I sure hope so.. I really hope so.. I really wish so... I want to jump off a cliff.. I really hope PSN comes back today.. come on Sony.. show me the light at the end of the tunnel..

 

[BeeDog]

PSN will probably come back up on Wednesday, sigh...

 

[Hanmik]

wednesday..? why that day..? off all the weeks 7 days you chose Wednesday.. why?

Hope so!

PSN to be shut down and replaced with XBL?

 

[Averon]

Who is Patrick Garratt, and why should I care what he's hinting at?

[Tiduz]

so, is motorstorm apocalypse crashing my ps3 because there is some update that i cannot get online or what?

crashed for me too 3 times and then my ps3 didnt give a signal anymore...

people said it never crashes so yours might croak soon as well.

 

[Dwayne]

Just to confirm, has anyone besides the op confirmed that this is true?

 

[Galvanise_]

Just to confirm, has anyone besides the op confirmed that this is true?

Do we need any other confirmation other than Kagari? No.

 

[Dwayne]

Do we need any other confirmation other than Kagari? No.

Ah huh. Besides his friend telling him, developers have been saying it's not up.

 

[STG]

Ah huh. Besides his friend telling him, developers have been saying it's not up.

PSN was working at my work today, we could play co-op. (Not saying what game, I can't anyway.)

Everybody was clueless but, somehow it was working.

for example (not a dev but QA)

 

[Abylim]

Platinum'd Uncharted2 lastnight, one trophy away from Platinum Dragon Age Origins, making it my 5th plat since the psn has been down. LET ME SYNC THESE MEANINGLESS THINGS!

Please, I'm begging you.

 

[Galvanise_]

I've been using this time to focus on some single player only games. I've been working my way through the Tomb Raider HD collection.

I am gutted I didn't buy Red Johnson Chronicles before PSN went tits up.

 

[falastini]

Screw this.

I've been waiting two weeks so I could play Portal 2. I'm just going to return the copy and buy it off Steam. Guess it's a good thing I didn't remove the shrinkwrap yet.

 

[Ricker]

It would be funny if it came back up on the 16th of May ;P

 

[zomgbbqftw]

Ah huh. Besides his friend telling him, developers have been saying it's not up.

Unless Kagari has had a secret sex change, you mean telling her.

 

[Momo]

It would be funny if it came back up on the 16th of May ;P

Would be better it if came up on Friday the 13th

 

[Rated-Rsuperstar]

Screw this.

What exactly is keeping you from playing the game? You can always link the game later.

 

[Shin Kojima]

Why have you been waiting for two weeks to play Portal 2?

edit: oh, beaten.

Mouse + Keyboard

I essentially bought it for the PC version. I just purchased the PS3 version since it was a 2 for 1 deal.

 

[Alligatorjandro]

Praise be to the maker

Are mouse + keyboard not supported on PS3?

Plays fantastic with a controller. Try it out.

 

[Soda]

Saints Row 3? I thought they weren't making another.

 

[mufraka]

ooh Kagari is a female? that explains her "these mindless shooters" post in the previous thread.

Spoiler

please don't ban me

It would be funny if it came back up on the 16th of May ;P

yeah lol no one on GAF has a bet on that day, and that's likely when it's gonna be up.

 

[bluehat9]

3 free psn games instead of two along with a statement that sony are in Super Final Exam Testing Phase Z and that it will only be "a few more days"?

I'm hyped!!

 

[LiK]

Saints Row 3? I thought they weren't making another.

On the contrary.

Just saw it on Twatter lol

It's also hit DigitalSpy in the UK:

http://www.digitalspy.co.uk/gaming/news/a319338/playstation-network-return-imminent.html

Kagari->GAF->Internet->Showbiz News->This Morning/Loose Women??

If you're not in the UK just swap This Morning/Loose Women for any dire daytime TV show like The View.

 

[Hanmik]

I just made a Gif that illustrates the Next playstation blog update...

 

[Seraph-]

I know they must have at least some games active in small amounts.
Point in case my SOCOM 4 online ranking, day of outage I was ranked
8,333 up until yesterday at which point I am now 8,342.
Hopefully they get it back on so I can reclaim my stakes! I call foul on the whole situation, they shouldn't be playing ranked games!!!!

 

[cjtiger300]

Wow!!!

 

[SolsticeZero]

I'm really keeping my fingers crossed for today. I would love to do some Portal 2 online this weekend.

 

[calder]

I'm always disappointed to get into work and not see that it's up yet, for no real reason at all I've gotten it into my head that it would make a lot of sense for them to start PSN back up either very late at night or very early in the morning and I keep hoping/expecting to see "omg finally" gaf threads first thing at work lol.

And by lol I mean

 

[Used-ID]

I just made a Gif that illustrates the Next playstation blog update...

Dunno if that gif is accurate though. It shows: multiple people, movement/progress, direction, teamwork, and all are done in public. These are things we know Sony lacks, or just does not know how to do.

I need to head to work or I'd find a way to fit Grace Chen in there too.

 

[The_Darkest_Red]

I'm starting to miss PSN as if it were a person.

 

[Dr Frasier Crane]

Another update from the same chap Androvsky mentioned previously in another forum, who seems to be a Sony Insider (or previously was):

Sony's internal network has begun rolling out, I have had that confirmed from a few sources. Once that is done they will commence the roll out of PSN in stages. Online play is the top priority.

When further questioned on it

It won't be tonight. Again, I'm posting progress that SCE are making, but the wait is nearly over. I think.

Maybe some hope but looks like it'll be Monday at the earliest.

It's perfectly accurate. At first glance it looks like they are working hard together. But then you realize that they are just pretending to work, it's the Travelator that's moving them along.

 

[watership]

Could you also correct the "Chrome coming to the PS3 post".
