Strange, had no issues logging on here in EU was just after renewing my psn+ at breakfast with a 90day code and downloaded Metrico... maybe this is just in the states?

But regarding this group of basement dwellers.... good job to them, I hope they're aware of the damages they'll incur if the outage is linked back to them.

Definitely not just the states, it's worldwide

I wonder how Sony would calculate that in terms of a number to say in court in damages, think they could get away with claiming how many games per hour and their value were stopped? even tho in reality when the service is back up those games would just be bought then most likely. Will be funny enough to see.

That said tho, just as a lil warning, make sure if you're downloading any files in the next couple of days to be even more careful that these guys haven't injected them with malware to turn your pcs into ddos machines without your knowledge too, unless they're just running something like LoiC tho in which case their parents will be having a massive lawsuit on their hands pretty soon.
