Actually they're saying it's because they didn't know about the 25 million SOE breach

Turns out that might actually be a totally seperate breach that Sony just didn't notice

So it was a sony website... why the hell did they even have that website still up?

What a crappy company. If you think about Sony, all they do is make their fans wait. Wait for PS3, wait for games, wait for updates, wait , wait , wait for more. 


Making us wait for a free service that we don't pay for. Them sons a bitches.......

Yeah, what right have consumers to complain?

Maybe Sony is the new Sega and will quit the console market, so they will be able to release God of War 4 and maybe God of War Collection for xbox 720 and Wii 2/Stream/Feel.

Can you imagine a "Sony Collection" for the xbox 720, Wii2 and Zeebo 2 ? I can't wait! Hype hype hype!

I'm down for the God of War Collection!

Have people forgot that the FBI and Homeland Security, as well as 2 third party security firms are investigating this whole mess?  I'm sure Sony is going to have to wait for them to finish the investigation and give the go ahead to launch the new and improved PSN.  I mean they have already announced they are finished with it, it's just going through final testing.  Yes, it may be another week or so, but so what?  It's just going to be that much more secure in the end.  And it's not like it's going to hurt the PS3's sales.  Last week's numbers prove this.

I'm hoping for something that won't compromise private information and hurt consumer confidence in the future.

The PS3 sales were down 8%....

largely buoyed by Japan, who was in the middle of a holiday based around shopping,(I believe) and as shown by the low PSN accounts to not care about online.


American sales dropped by 16%

You realize this has also affected all their MMOs that people DO pay for?

EQ, EQ2, DCUO, Vanguard, SWG and more are all down until further notice.


And those people are recieving credit for lost time. So what exactly is the problem?

Seriously dude? LOL

Uhh Yeah i'm serious. It's not the end of the world if people can't play some MMOs. I've had to deal with my fair share of down times from MMOs due to outages. Just recently I couldn't play FFXI or FFXIV for quite a few weeks but I wasn't throwing a tantrum over it. Sony isn't going to charge people for time they aren't playing.

Your original point is that people shouldn't be upset because PSN is free (even though some people pay for PSN Plus), but then you also say they shouldn't be upset even if they DO pay for a service because they are just being babies?  You can't fathom how someone has the right to get upset that something they are paying for isn't working?  It doesn't matter if you don't pay for the time it's down, that much is blatantly obvious, but if my internet access was taken away for 2 weeks or a month I wouldn't be sitting there going "oh well, c'est la vie!", I'd have ever right to get upset.

"It's not the end of the world if people can't play some MMOs" - yeah, the world doesn't end, but it doesn't mean you should just tell people to stop whining and just appreciate that world hasn't ended.  Maybe someone who gets only 2 weeks off of work every year planned to spend it playing an MMO.  Maybe someone who isn't capable of leaving the house due to illness or a handicap plays MMOs are their sole source of recreation.  No, they should just keep their mouths shut and be thankful Sony loves them so much to produce great games, am I right?  *rolls eyes*

I'm not saying people shouldn't be disappointed because they definitely have the right to be. However getting pissed off, and calling the company insulting names doesn't solve the issue here. People are forgetting what Sony has done for them with the PS3s free servers. Now because this happened they are just evil bastards. This entire thing sucks, we all know that.

Still, they didn't drop like a stone like some were expecting, maybe even hoping.  Plus, there may also be further adjustments to the numbers once the next NPD numbers are released.  And as usual, I expect them to be adjusted up for Sony.

And Xbox 360 sales dropped 9%, with no online crisis.
