Psn is finally fine for me
Pity. I hope I can download and start playing DA: Inquisition before January 2nd. Kind of like starting games in the new year.
So I hope they fix the download speeds as well lol.

PS. One on One or Smash? |
Smash. One on One is either boring or frustrating depending on whether you're on the winning or losing side. Smash at least only gets frustrating if you really get smoked, which doesn't happen to me as often.

Monster Hunter: pissing me off since 2010.

I'm no expert, but when they surprise attack MS or Sony and take them down then yeah that's kind of understandable. This situation however was announced months before it happened. Couldn't MS and Sony do anything to prevent this?

One would figure they'd be prepared for a simple DDoS attack in general, unless Lizard Squad are deploying something quite sophisticated or Sony and Microsoft were both negligent in preparing for this, which is unlikely. One of the two maybe, but both?

I think it's like Anonymous said, the problem is that all the users of Xbox and PS are the real problem when such an attack happens. Normally it would be maybe a small problem but then everyone tries to connect at the same time all the freaking time when they lost connection at the same time and that makes it much worse if a million people push the "connect" button at the same time and repeat it like 100 times when Sony/MS have to handle already a DDoS attack.
If gamers wouldn't sit all the time i front of their console and try to conenct again and again and just wait like "normal" people would do with other services, the impact would be probably not so bad for such a long time.

It's clear by now that their DDoS attacks are not simple. One of them did an interview on a youtube show and said that a lot of their attacks are funded by 3rd parties. But when it's announced like that and it still can't be prevented then MS and Sony are doing something wrong.

Let's keep in mind that PSN has A LOT more subscribers than XBL, so our attempts to sign on make the problem that much worse to remedy.
Bottom line: LS wants to be referred to as "cyber-terrorists," so they should also be treated as such.
