DUN GOOFD said:real reason PSN is down
Makes no sense.
1. Why take down the real network if the dev network is down?
2. Why take down anything but the store/CC processing if it wasn't at the PSN account level?

That's a load of shit and you guys know it. They went to China and had engineers disassemble Xbox 360's to identify the problem. They made jokes about the RROD every single day, Microsoft got grilled for that fiasco to the point that Peter Moore left and Microsoft had to reserve $1 billion for repairs.DryEyeRelief said:They didn't lay the pressure on Microsoft during the heydays of RROD. It was business as usual. What makes you think they'll do anything now?

And no, unlike my other journalistic dynamite, this will stay close to the chest.

I highly doubt thats why psn was taken down but the pure fact that people were doing that is ridiculous.RbBrdMan said:Ralph at 7-11 told me Cheetos were made from real cheddar cheese.

oh, it was happening. It aint the reason for psn being down though since the dev network has been up.SolidSnakex said:It's apparently true and even DigitalFoundry verified that it was happening.

NullPointer said:Even in a trusted environment why wouldn't you verify CC info? It'd seem to me to be more work to have the cc verification on in one place and off in another then to just keep the system working securely under all conditions.
lupinko said:Fine, with regards to that reddit story, I leave you guys with this.
I personally think it has no bearing on the CFW scene. If this is the reason, then I fully place the blame on Sony for shutting down the network. So, honest, paying customers are denied access to functionality they paid for and their ability to buy more products because some people found an exploit in their system? And frankly, this doesn't sound like it should be that difficult to fix. Then again, I don't know their infrastructure, but still...HaRyu said:Wouldn't help the CFW cause in the eyes of the general gaming populace, that's for sure.

Because they are dev consoles. It is like Xbox's Partner Net, you are allowed to download everything for free.NullPointer said:This doesnt make sense to me:

So you are saying psn became self aware and decided to hack itself committing some sort of some form of digital seppuku.lupinko said:Fine, with regards to that reddit story, I leave you guys with this.
Never question lupinko.BeeDog said:Why are we listening to what arnoldocastillo2003 and lupinko are saying, again?
Because developers probably need to be able to test downloading stuff and running them and don't want to charge a real credit card all the time? Still, there should be special "dev" PSN accounts that are able to bypass this, not just by having a dev firmware.NullPointer said:This doesnt make sense to me:

Forsete said:Yup.. :/
I hope Sony doesn't go overboard with protecting PS4 though. Like proprietary "USB" slots, or some special Sony branded storage device.
I didn't know that. That's one giant hole alright if true.godhandiscen said:Because they are dev consoles. It is like Xbox's Partner Net, you are allowed to download everything for free.
KAOz said:So, people were busy doing all that stuff. Then Sony installed some of the CWF on one of their machines, just to test what it does. They run it, and manage to compromise their own network, and start shitting bricks. Sony then hopes nobody has done what they just did, and shut it all down to fix it.
So in the end, it was all Sony.
What a twist?
Sony bringing down their own network sounds hilariously perfect.KAOz said:So, people were busy doing all that stuff.

Sadly, you're probably right.

Isn't this more of an issue of execrable security compounded by boneheaded mistakes? Linux isn't exactly associated with these type of problems.Arklite said:Well, there probably sure as hell will never be another console that even thinks about allowing access to the hardware through something like Linux ever again. headaches all around.
Smision said:it'd be cool if they just made a simple console that plays games instead of facefucking people with "features."
But their reaction affects everyone. I just don't understand how people can think this makes for good PR:Arklite said:CFW users can do whatever they want to do to their systems. However, they should stay the hell out of PSN. You can't place full blame on one party when their actions are reactions to someone else.
