I cant imagine how you'd be like if instead your internet provider was down or even maybe electricity in your house.

ehm? and u wouldn't be bothered about that? u even human bro?

anyway rocket compare it with vgc and 15 million peeps wanna log in here not gonna go well

Is it wrong to expect more of Sony? Why can't I expect them to do something right after three weeks of screw-ups?


3 weeks of screw ups? your acting like sony tripped over the power cable and created the outage themselves and was full of butterfingers and kept fumbling with trying to plug it back in

Right, I forgot how their Top Aces Security Team™ had nothing to do with this mess in the first place. They're completely innocent and should get an "aw shucks, go get 'em next time, tiger" slap on the back because, gosh darn it, they tried so hard.

Well, did you get an email from Sony about changing your password?

Yep.


I guess all you can really do then is call customer care. How I dread recommending someone to call Sony's PS3 service line. I never once had a good experience with those dick holes. They make me feel insignificant every time I call them.

I'll just wait it out. If I wasn't going to buy a house in the next two months, I'd go to the store and buy a 360 right now. I'm reaaaaaaaaallly tired of this PSN fiasco. Sony doesn't deserve my money at this point.

I was going to wait until Oct/Nov to buy a new 360 and this just may be enough to accelerate it by a few months.

Well I gave my sincere advice, but it seems you had a different agenda this whole time with this thread.

Good luck.

Yeah, a different agenda. At seven o'clock, I had the audacity to think that I might be able to buy a PSN game because I got an email telling me I could reset my password. It's now nine o'clock and I still can't even do that.

20 days after buying Portal 2, I still can't play it online because I need to log into PSN to activate my PC/Mac code. Approximately 25 days after receiving my SOCOM 4 beta code, I still can't play it because I can't get into PSN. I can't buy any PSN games I want to play. I can't play any of my current games online. MY INFORMATION WAS RELEASED INTO THE WILD.

Apparently I should just take this on the chin and grin, eh? This has been a giant clusterfuck since day one and I won't apologize for taking Sony to task for it. They deserve every word of malice I have to throw their way.

All. I. Want. Is. To. Play. Some. Games.

It's not an unreasonable request.

^^^how about throwing that malice at the actual hackers, at least some of it.



Max King of the Wild on 15 May 2011

No one is stoping you from playing games... and why dont you have a 360 anymore? Let me get this straight, youve had a ps3 before. you got rid of it. youve had a 360 youve got rid of it. you now have a ps3 and you want to get rid of it sand now you want to get a 360?

 

Sounds to me like your just not a happy fellow.

Well if they're having overload problems, doesn't that make them susceptible to DOS attacks?



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.

Worked for me...and I didn't need to go to my email to change my password. Wonder why some people have to do it differently?

This is my second PS3. That probably has something to do with it.

But what confuses me is my cousin had to do it by email even though I didn't and we both play on the same PS3 (which is our first)

That's not confuse... every account with no downloaded content have to change the password via email.

"If using a PS3, your password can only be changed on your own PS3 (or a PS3 on which your PSN account was activated), as an added layer of security. If you have never downloaded any content using your account on the system, an email will be sent to the registered sign-in ID (email address) associated with your account when you first attempt to sign-in to PSN. This e-mail will contain a link that will enable you to change your password. In this email, click on the link and follow the instructions to change your password. Once you have changed your password you can sign-in to your account using your new password."

lol the reason i replyed is because you seem to believe this is as simply as throwing a switch and turning the network back on... all im saying is that some people realise that it isn't that simple... you then mentioned that they don't deserve your money... good then sell it move on to xbl... its the simplest solution when you think on it
