I think Valve has something to do with this. I mean, whats the better way to get all people join your network, Steam, than to take down the competitor's network (in this case PSN). Those bastards at Valve sure are tricky. This way, most people will skip to Steam and quit PSN.

Something must have failed catastrophically.

So true, whenever my train is late or cancelled, my computer software crashes, my internet provided is down, my PPV TV bombs out, x360 prod, my brand new car has electrical issues and a hundred other things that I pay for in life that go wrong, I think that.... but then I realise that I am being stupid.

Nothing is perfect, shit happens. All these problems were eventually resolved  (or in the case of the train it doesn't matter anymore)  and most will likely happen again.

OT: Can't logged in from UK (error 80710A06). This is bad timing, four days off work starting tomorrow and no online gaming. Hope it's sorted by Saturday.

I grow weary of Sony's incompetence.

This is getting annoying...really wanted to play a game of Marvel vs Capcom last night, guess I'll stick to 360 for a while

Man, the problem must be really bad if they still haven't fixed it yet. I can't remember the last time a major internet service got knocked off for so long. It makes me think this is not attack related, at least not ddos.

Have they tried switching it off and on again?

yea,could'nt get on all day yesterday,but don't really have time to try and see if they fixed it today. I hope they have though.

Indeed, it must be bad.

However with all that been happening over the last couple months the scene is nicely setup for it to be an attack...if this was a movie it would have been anyway.

This would be one hell of a boring film.
