I found this on YouTube, Not sure if this explains everything, the text is from its description and not done by me.

This explains alot.. Listen to it . The problem started on April 21 2011 when everyone around the world couldn't log on.. Now April 22 2011 and still no result of ps3 fixing the problem and illimating the hackers. Anonymous Geohot hackers. PSN DOWN ERROR CODE 80710A06

This is what Anonymous released from their website. It`s not mine but here`s the info. Watch my other videos for more information.

Geohot- http://www.youtube.com/geohot

BASICALLY - Geohot created a hack for PlayStation and jail breaking his ps3 and he got sued by PlayStation it self. I don't know if he won or not but now his team of hackers are getting revenge on PlayStation by taking over..
Anonymous laws attack on Sony.
After Sony and PS3 hacker Geohot came to an agreement and the matter was out of the world, was the group Anonymous is blood on the tooth.

Physical actions

Now they threaten Sony with actions, and plan first and foremost to meet up outside and block the Sony-shops around the UK. The course encourages the masses in other countries to do the same outside their shops, and to boycott Sony products in addition to taking to the streets. At least now this coming weekend.

More attacks?
In a video that was posted on YouTube also notifies the new, massive attack on Sony, and these will be the biggest ever. Anonymous, however, now takes away from the attack that destroys the users directly, such as the alleged hacking of the PSP earlier this month.

You can read the full report on this weekend's action by Anonymous, here, and if you have self control enough to be able to see through the threat video without being embarrassed by humanity, is it here

Edit: moved the video up higher, so more people will take notice of it hopefully.

Well, taking down PSN is hurting users more than Sony so I guess these guys clearly aren't doing that great a job.

I dont understand the OP, it's awkardly written.

I say screw them to hell and back.

I don't care what they are going on about. I don't modify and homebrew my consoles. I buy them to play the officially released games and I'm very happy with the games on PSN. I play online a lot and the PS3 is slowly becoming my favourite console ever.

These guys are ruining my gaming experience and I did nothing to them. That's wrong, and I hope they burn. HARD.

anonymous are retards with mental problems. they should stop basement dwelling and they should go outside and do something with their lives.

Fight for my consumer rights, by taking them away.

Does anyone want to start an online petition saying: ''Screw anon'' or something!? Maybe a facebook group or so? I'll be happy to join...

Anon can go fuck themselves.

Additionally, if I am reading it right, it is the most biased thing ever

I hope they get caught and go to jail for this,but how would one get caught in the first place. I don't know anything about hacking and all the technical aspect's of it.
