Forums - Sales Discussion - PSN outage Begins to Hit Retail

You don't fuck with gamers...

The only thing that pisses me off about this whole outage is "Back to the Future".  I paid the $20 for my new episode every month and I only have episodes 1 and 2.  Even then, it wouldn't piss me off to the point where I'd trade in my console.  Online play is a big deal but I'm sure it will come back eventually.  People are losing tons of money on their purchases.  My opinion: NEVER trade in a game console. 

Remember, a wise man once said:  "Too many PS3 exclusives are coming out in 2011.  We're all going to go broke trying to buy them all. *shakes fist* Curse you, Sony!"  I believe that man was Abraham Lincoln.  How are people going to go broke buying those PS3 exclusives without a PS3?

Yes, UK only... worldwide peoples patience is still holding.


lol I hope your being sarcastic (which I think you are!)

It's happening in small numbers in the US, but It's a case by case basis. Two of my co-workers have bought games for the 360 instead of the PS3 because of the online service being down, and one of them is dumping their PS3.

If Sony can get the online working in the next week I think they'll be fine, but if this continues till May 31st or behond Sony is going to be in trouble. I can see MS taking jabs at Sony at E3 saying "Well at least we're online!".



It's just that simple.

I am being sarcastic.

This is a huge blow to Sony in my opinion... People are creatures of habit. And if they go out of habit of using PSN, and just briefly switch to Xbox live...stats on human behaviour indicate that a good portion of them won't be coming back to PSN.

They're using SIXAXIS controllers instead of Dualshock 3's in the background.  Seriously, who does that!?

Also, Kaz looks like he's stressed out and forced to drink.  You can almost read his mind.  It says: "Fuck."
