Official PSN discussion thread

Last time, they just put out a patch (band-aid), and now they're rebuilding it completely.

Is rebuilding the thing the same as a bandaid?

rebuild it completely. ya know, its pretty obvious that u, like many other people here at VSN just simply dont know about the problem. i can not help your ignorance.

search here for the thread. google it or something, then u will understand

I guess they should just close up shop, stop producing PS3s and move on to the PS4, because you "know" they cannot fix the problem.

yes, i know they can not fix it. i also know what the problem is. its been well documented. its not my fault you are like 3 months late to the party

We sincerely regret that PlayStation Network and Qriocity services have been suspended, and we are working around the clock to bring them both back online. Our efforts to resolve this matter involve re-building our system to further strengthen our network infrastructure. Though this task is time-consuming, we decided it was worth the time necessary to provide the system with additional security.

Wait, so the guy who comes in starting a flame war is the omniscient one? Please, school us, almighty white god.

i wonder if all the ps3 fagboys will finally admit that they should have bought a 360 instead

how the fuck do you allow hackers to totally shut down your network. And if u guys think this will be fixed in 3-4 days then you are sorely mistaken. This will go on and on and sony will never be able to fix it. Any fix they make will be countered by the hackers and they will cause it to go down again. Its now gonna become a chess match for the hackers to try and 1 up sony everytime it tries a new fix

How soon people forget about Xbox Live going down for several days in late 2008, around xmas time at that. When everyone wanted to jump online and play the new presents they received, they couldn't. And people were PAYING for that service.

And what did MS do? They gave us one crappy XBLA game, Undertow. Big fucking whoop.

That was when they were rebuilding their online interface, so it was really slow with people downloading it.

The biggest thing I want is Sony's interface to be as user friendly as xbox's. Pay or not they should be somewhat similar.

That is dumb. Why would Sony want to make it like Xbox Live? It is their own software and UI. Sony's interface is fine I have never had any issues with it.

[Twigg4075]

More user friendly. Being able to hop into a chat with other friends no matter what game they are playing. Shit like that. Sony's interface is horrible.

They definitely need party chat. Hell, can you even send a voice message?

[Virix]

The #1 thing they should be worried about is getting PSN back up for their customers. Yeah, yeah they are rebuilding PSN to make it more secure or whatever. Get PSN back up, rebuild it behind the scenes and take it down for maintenance in the middle of the fucking night to update to the newer, rebuilt, more secure version. Fuckers.

This does not help the perception of every faggot who talks about PSN sucking compared to XBL. They have to realize that.

[Twigg4075]

Another small thing that I like about Live that PSN doesn't have is that Live tells you how many friends you have. Right at the bottom of the screen it says 97/100 or whatever. Whereas on PSN you have no idea unless you manually count each one. I can't tell you hoe many times I've tried to send a friend request, goiong through the whole process, only to get "Error code XXXXXXXXX. Unable to send request. Your friend count has been exceeded" right after I send the request. Why the fuck did you let me get that far then? At ethe very least as soon as I clicked on Add Friend I should've received that message.

Although I do still think that it's a joke that MS hid behind Halo 2 for years saying that was the reason why there was a cap of 100 friends. Halo 2 hasn't been online in how long now?

Some sort of cross-game voice chat and a better browser would by my suggestions to improve the PSN experience. There was supposed to be a voice chat system for PS+ members, but I don't know what the hell happened to that feature.

[CCBrink]

My only real issue with the PS3 as a whole is the XMB. It is fine outside of the game, but it takes forever to load while you are in a game.

It's not a joke, it was a limitation of the previous XBL architecture which was still in place to handle previous gen support, mainly Halo 2.

It's also not as if they could just "flip a switch" and up the limit without any work, although I don't expect a non technical mind to understand that.

Furthermore, the upgrade to your friends list was something that could be used to market their service, successful companies do not waste marketable assets.
