Forums - Sony - US PSN back up... and Sony screws up again.

Heh, this site never ceases to amaze me. Someone complains about a company and we get such witty responses as "Go live in India and learn to be more tolerant!" I don't think any more needs to be said.

I cant imagine how you'd be like if instead your internet provider was down or even maybe electricity in your house.

I can't imagine how this forum'd be if people didn't insist on making lame excuses for their company of choice.

If Sony is going to send me a password change email, it's not too much to ask that the fucking website be up and running.

Believe me im upset, but to not the extent to be all F*CK THIS F*CK THAT!

 .....but you know what really is fucking retarded? fucking retarded costumers that fucking complain too much shit about fuckin shit they dont even pay for.  If this was XBL i understand cause you fucking pay for that but fucking PS3 owners dont pay fuck all for PSN so PS3 owners that fucking complain need to fuck off or chill of the fuck out!!! So fuck all those that complain about shit they fucking didnt pay for!!! Life's a bitch, get fucking use to it cause im sure there are worse things that'll fuck people over in their life than something as small as PSN.

If gmail went down for 3 weeks plus, I would complain bitterly and never use the service again for email. Gmail is a free service. Gmail is a for profit business like PSN, just because it's free for the user doesn't mean that people shouldn't have expectations of reliable service. Reliability is an important issue for an online service. In fact, it's one of the basic standards an internet service should be judged by.


I completely concur with most of your statements. However PSN has been free for 4 years without experiencing such any issues.  XBL has been down for 2 weeks at a time before as well in addition to some smaller outages while being a paid service.  Does one mistake which was caused by atrotious behavior of others be blamed so heavily on Sony?  Does this one issue really destroy those previous years of good service?  I understand that some are irate (hell I still can't purchase outlands which is one of my personal big titles this year)  but is it really reason to punish said company that had been doing quite well in satisfying your needs?  Is all that previous reliability erased? Even as a paid serivce most sure didn't think the same of XBL when it went down.

I changed my PW perfectly fine. You can log in with your old info and it will propt you to change your PW to a new Password. If you are sitting around waiting for an email to reach your inbox, than you my friend are an idiot. Truly a stupid human being. 

Except that doesn't work if you aren't using the same PS3 you signed up for... as has been mentioned in this thread.

You may want to revisit your last sentence and who that may apply to.


Umm I'm using a different PS3 than the one I signed up for and I changed my PW perfectly fine using my new PS3. You are right in line with some of these other kiddos. I think "YOU" might want to revist my last senence and see who it applies to, chief.

If you're referring to the 2007 Christmas, it never went down 2 weeks. It had capacity problems, with people having problems to log in, but it wasn't down. Get your facts right.

^^^^ thats like blaming a women if she got raped, she should have fought harder or not looked so hot. Or blaming the homicide victim for getting killed. Or the store owner for getting robbed. Hell let all the prisoners out because criminals exist, they suck and we all know and accept that. Im not saying SOny couldnt have had better firewalls but if there were no hackers we wouldnt even have an issue


No it's not... and that's extremely offensive.

Women getting raped does not lose other peoples stuff.

It would be more like your investment banker keeping your investment notes in a notebook that he leaves at a starbucks.

If you'll notice.  Sony specifically told him he had to change his password via email.  So again.  Calling him an idiot for doing what sony told him too just makes you look stupid.

I'm so glad you're not my son.

Go live in India and learn to be a little tolerant or something.

If you're mad at Sony, go live in India. LOL.


What's funny is... I think India is one of Sony's better markets percentage share wise...

Either way... logical fallacy "Appeal to someting worse".

Though ironically India isn't that bad.

Unless he's talking about Ghandi... though I think Ghandi would call this bullshit... wasn't the most pro croporation/establishment type.

lol even worse try africa where you don't even get a Ps3. The only thing popular there is HIV. It's much more popular than call of duty over there.

Took me about 7 seconds to update my password.


me too, i tried logging in, i told me i had to change my password so i typed 123abc (because the far superior abc123 was my old password) and that was that

Did you just give your PSN account password to the world? 0_o

People already had it through the hack :D

Haha oh you!
