I'm actually fairly bothered by it. Just ordered Netflix last week and do not have Xbox Live Gold (ridiculous that you have to have it) and PSN is down.

Otherwise, I'd be pretty indifferent on the whole matter. I rarely game online on my PS3.

what you need psn for netflix?

that sucks balls.  what happened to just inserting disc and playing movies

I've read that you can still use it so long as you have an internet connection. However, I now have a new PS3 (gave my old one away) and have yet to setup my psn on it. You need an account to download Netflix. Just a mess of inconvenient circumstances in my case, really.

On another note not directly related to access of PSN, but of Sony's whole mess: Yes, I'm bothered with the circumstance.

Technically you cannot launch either netflix or hulu for that matter on your PS3 without also being logged into PSN. I've tried.

you can still use netflix let it try logging in and it will say it's down for maintenance, try logging in to psn again when it forces you then close it when it says it's down for maintenance again and you shouldn't have any more problems.
