I'm starting to think PSN will never come back up :(



PS One/2/p/3slim/Vita owner. I survived the Apocalyps3/Collaps3 and all I got was this lousy signature.

Reading the info it sounds like that they realised SOE had been breached as well as PSN and shut it down right away.  It's not clear therefore whether this happened same time as PSN and only got noticed now - which is what the wording seems to imply - or whether this is a new attack.



Try to be reasonable... its easier than you think...

Wow. Forget bin Laden. Someone just took down a real villain. That's for fucking up Star Wars Galaxies, you dickholes!

Sounds like it's part of an investigation into the original PSN hack, though.

Either way, I'm guessing this is putting spanners in everything relating to Sony's online services, first PSN now SoE ¬_¬

I saw this comment on that vg247 link and it cracked me up.

 

"The only reason I tend to prefer Sony over it’s competitors is because most of the time, they have the superior product (reliability & build quality) & I’m sometimes willing to spend that premium knowing that Sony made it (depending on the product & how much spare change I have) rather than some random Chinese company, heck I still have a working Sony boombox from several decades ago running in perfect condition."

 

I guess a majority of first generation PS1 didn't overheat......  I guess a ton of first generation PS2 disc drives, etc didn't break either...  Maybe he is just remembering sony walkmans/boomboxs from the 90s?  Who knows..  The only thing I know is that Sony lost me as a customer when my first generation PS1 overheated and they blamed me for doing it (charge 75 dollars to give me the second generation PS1 that didn't overheat).  Bleh....  Nintendo Customer Service > than the rest.  Also, Nintendo makes more reliable systems than Sony and Microsoft.

Sony also relies on Chinese companies to manufacture their products. So the original statement is based on ignorance anyways.



Anyone can guess. It takes no effort to throw out lots of predictions and have some of them be correct. You are not and wiser or better for having your guesses be right. Even a blind man can hit the bullseye.

I guess you can put it to the overall reliability of Sony products.  Sony used to be known for reliable products.  I've viewed their products negatively since the PS1.  That was around the time I view Sony falling from their reliable image.
