hahah, nice. i was forced into single player of Killzone 3 yesterday having previously only played multi player. Completed the game in a matter of hours.

I wish I could hack mine, but I've already upgraded to an OFW that's past the CFW version

Without psn working i'm about to beat the career in Need For Speed Hot Pursuit. Add me once it's back up ElSwervingIrving

Why would you hack into something that is free? Or were people playing on the network without playstations? I do not understand.

I seriously hate hackers.

You're going to ruin it for me because you want to be a selfish dick?

Pfft.

Back to Steam I guess :|

This is all a retaliation against Sony for removing other OS support in the PS3 and for taking the person who originally hacked the console to court. They're not messing with PSN just for the sake of it.

I don't really care what their stupid justification is

If they're unsatisfied with the product they can sell it

They don't speak for me or anyone else who is as pissed as I am
They're not helping their case
They're just making themselves look like stupid entitled assholes

So what if you don't like a product you should be allowed to burn the store down?

I hope Sony drags all of them to court

Didn't say I agreed with their actions, just explaining why they are doing it. To be honest, I don't blame them. This has much less to do with being unsatisfied with the PS3 and much more to do with Sony's actions. I'm sure they would just sell their PS3s if they didn't like them. Removing other OS support, which was a big feature for a lot of users and is probably the reason those users bought a PS3, and Sony suing someone for modding a console are both ridiculous, especially suing someone. He bought the console, he can do whatever he wants with it. Would Ford sue me if I mod my car? I think they are entitled being able to change the OS because that was a huge feature and are entitled to mod the console because you know, they own it. Them suing the user who modded the console is basically them saying that you don't really own your console, you're only renting it from Sony. If you do something Sony doesn't like, you will be punished.

I can agree with that but the appropriate action would be to take Sony to court
Not to knock the whole damn system out and ruin it for everyone else who has a PS3

I have no place in this battle and yet I like many others are losing the most

It's starting to anger me.

this current downtime may not be attributed to hackers actually attacking the network but more so by using the official network via development/test networks. nothing malicious in nature, just some hybrid hack.

the reason this is bad for sony is it allows these users access to certain things they shouldn't be able to access.

it would appear sony have panicked and just pulled the plug so they can fix the security issues once and for all.

they are using 'anonymous' as a scapegoat as the group were involved at an earlier stage in retaliation to george hotz's lawsuit but have stated no involvement with the current 'intrusion' issue sony are claiming.

but although 'anonymous' claim no involvement as a group... it doesn't deny 'anonymous' members may have acted individually.

who knows.

Uh, go outside or something.

outside? with real people? you can do that?!

;)

PSN went down on the 21st April Right?

It was JUDGEMENT DAY. Better than America... Skynet hacked the nation of PLAYSTATION HOME.

I just purchased a Jailbreak USB that will downgrade my system to where I can run linux on it. Not too sure why anyone would want to hack Sony for making it impossible to acess Linux if you upgraded when all you have to do is spend $20.00

My place in this issue would be much clearer if FACTS were out. I have been reading about this before it even happened with a dude being sued for showing people how to jailbreak a ps3. Like william henry said if you purchase a product you should be entitled to do what ever you feel like doing with it I mean you OWN it. And from what I read "anonymous" felt like it was a little to over board to sue some one for that reason. And taking down psn was their way to retaliate but then again their not taking responsibility for it.. So one will never know for sure. What can we do!

I'm going to suck so much balls at modern warfare when this shit goes back up.. but then again, so will everyone else!!! (jk, I'm a beast) you chumps can add me: TravisCook

lol, and yes, my name on there is also travis cook.. couldn't think of anything else

@Daigro - Anonymous had no part in the "external intrusion" it's more likely that Sony just had some problems with their servers and instead of being honest with all of us, they have decided to just lay the blame on Anonymous to take the heat off themselves.

@Travis Cook - I'll add you... Modern Warfare 2 only? You don't play Black-Ops....?

Well what ever it is I just hope it goes back up soon.. "Finger Crossed" And death i have black ops add me "Pwner202"

Will do once PSN is fixed man!

godbless steam and its overprotective fan base, remember when those one guys hacked/stole half-life2 before the release? I remember a shit ton of people hunting those guys down, they must had been scared out of their mind.
