Nope. No backlash. xbl goes down all the time and they have plenty of other problems on top of that. This is very rare for PS and it will be fixed shortly, and it might even spark some momentum for a new update that fixes other things.
Who knows, maybe the ylod will be looked into as well. Now that Sony has some spare cash, maybe they'll do a line by line look at the coding.

XBL is rarely ever down, stop talking garbage damage control.  You don't even have a 360 so cannot comment on the XBL situaution at all.  PSN has as many problems as XBL but this isn't even a PSN issue which makes your comments even more silly.  You obviously don't understand what YLOD is either as it cannot be resolved by anything but hardware changes (which hopefully the slim will address to a degree).


Microsoft’s XBox Live servers have suffered a major outage today, cutting off gamers world wide for at least several hours.

XBox Live went down at approximately 2pm US PST, and as of 3:30pm PST are still experiencing difficulties. Reports suggest that while users can connect to the service, games will not play, including the popular Modern Warfare 2 servers.

XBox Live’s status page stated that “users may experience difficulties connecting to Xbox LIVE” and that Microsoft is “aware of the problem and are working to resolve the issue.”

Perhaps not completely unrelated, Twitter is also suffering downtime at the time of writing. Trend tracking services show that the most popular search terms at this time include “xbox live down,” “modern warfare 2 servers down,” “communication with the xbox live servers has been interrupted,” and “xbox live not working.”

Want me to troll the PS3 today with news of every time PSN has been down?  Want me to highlight how in all likelyhood over 75% of systems sold cannot play the vast majority of games for an entire day?  Stop acting like a child or you will get the kind of responses you deserve.

Classic! When in doubt just make some shit up I guess. Ok here goes

 

Ylod is caused by heat stress on solder joints right. So if Sony goes through the code line by line, and hits delete.  Then the processor will stay always in an Idle state an not get hot enough to cause  YLOD.

I FIXED YLOD FOREVAR !!!

I don't see any issues. As long as Sony does a good job at getting the fix out as best as possible. It isn't like the Slims are affected at all so it will not effect sales either.

Wow, awesome how you said it is never down, and then I post 5 instances in 3 years and then you say something to the effect of "you're a baby. I should post everytime ps3 servers are down too, now that I have been proven completely wrong." HA

Just watch him troll the 360 for the next few days in a desperate effort to deflect some attention elsewhere.  What he fails to realise is this trolling will only lead to people really milking this current scenario for months.  Such a sad individual really, mind you its not like he can go and do something more productive like play a game is it?

Sonys brand name is still associated with high quality electronics no matter what. DRE PS2s didn't hurt the sales along with countless other products. I see this hurting Heavy Rains legs more then Ps3. People think Heavy Rain is already bugged, word of mouth spreads quick about those types of things.



darthdevidem01 on 01 March 2010

nope, PS3 slims don't have a problem apparently

& they are the only PS3's being sold right now.



All hail the KING, Andrespetmonkey

why would I troll the 360? Don't be so defensive. You are wrong and I am right. There won't be backlash because it happens to all consoles from time to time, and specifically with 360 there have been much worse problems with relatively little impact. I'm sorry you cannot appreciate that.
