Sony and Ms only fail proof to the ddos attack would be keep the whole thing offline, but that wouldn't help anyone, would it?

PlayStation Network Update

+ Posted by Catherine Jensen on Dec 27, 2014 // VP, SCEA Consumer Experience

The video game industry has been experiencing high levels of traffic designed to disrupt connectivity and online gameplay. Multiple networks, including PSN, have been affected over the last 48 hours. PSN engineers are working hard to restore full network access and online gameplay as quickly as possible.

From time to time there may be disruptions in service due to surges in traffic, but our engineers will be working to restore service as quickly as possible.

If you received a PlayStation console over the holidays and have been unable to log onto the network, know that this problem is temporary and is not caused by your game console. We’ll continue to keep you posted on Twitter at @AskPlayStation and we’ll update this post once the problems subside.

Thanks again for your patience.

It's clear by now that their DDoS attacks are not simple. One of them did an interview on a youtube show and said that a lot of their attacks are funded by 3rd parties. But when it's announced like that and it still can't be prevented then MS and Sony are doing something wrong. 

They can be that simple, my company experience the same situations but not DDoS attacks, just through user visiting the website. We don't have the funding MS or Sony have but I'm guessing the level these idiots are doing this is far higher than what we ever get and sometimes it can take hours to fix and can cause unknown issues. This is just people hitting the site, taking up bandwidth.

This is not MS or Sony's fault so stop blaming them.

I've been playing online all day. I demand compensation too.

People are paying for these services. A few times sure it's fine, but when it happens multiple times then they really need to find a solution to this problem.

Xbox Live is limited but not offline at all. I have been playing (as a lot of others in the thread) online all day long without any major problem.
Only issue is that sometime it is a bit slow to connect. Xbox Video is also working fine.

Not sure about PSN tho but I expect the same?
