[PS3] Official PSN discussion thread

[spiker]

I'll admit it - I priced up a 360 last night. I can't believe this crap.

 

[Brotha2ThaNight]

This is really starting to piss me off. Socom finally drops and I can't even play it. Plus Sony is not updating the situation and that is making the matter worst IMO. Good thing I still have my 360, the Gears beta should past the time till Sony figures this shit out.

I picked up NBA 2K11 for ps3last thursday(have it for the 360 as well but wanted to play some of my buddies that only have ps3s) and I havent even popped the damn thing in yet:headbang:

There are a lot of plantations going up on Craigslist and people are looking for straight up trades too. People need their online gaming fix!

Some of you need some fuckin lives. Obviously Sony is working on it. Chill out and get some fresh air or something. Missing a week or two of online gaming is not the end of the world. Get some fuckin perspective.

He is right though. I was telling the guys in the CB to quit bitching because the bitching won't make it come back any sooner. Develop some patience and just wait it out. It honestly isn't that big a deal. In the meantime I have been refining my programming to pass the time.

Man.... STFU!!!! I gotta a life.

I bought a game and was only able to play it for one day, so I'm going to bitch. It wouldn't be a big deal if Sony would release more information and stop all the speculation that is going on. This is BS and you know it.

Playstation is not the only thing I do but I would like to play it because I did pay for it. Am I not allowed to complain about it? PSN has been down for quite a while.

You already know what happened. Hackers compromised PSN. /end. That is all you need to know. They are fixing it. Do you want the developers to tell you when they whipe their ass too? They can't give a specific time on when it will be back up because they don't know. In the world of IT the worst thing to do is give a concrete date on something and then not deliver. Should they tell you it will be back up tomorrow and then not have it back up tomorrow? Seriously take a fuckin breath. Throw in some single player if you need to get your gaming fix.

No shut the fuck up. We know it is down for a while and we know they are fixing it. I paid for PS3, and PSN+ and I am not sitting here complaining bc like Knubb said, shit happens. PSN is free. PSN+ was like 50$ for a year. I am sure after they get this shit back up they will offer something to end users for free ( something probably more substantional than MS did when they had their outages).

 

[Herm]

I dont even play games online much anymore but its annoying. PP dont act like consumers who paid money for PS+, games they bought specifically to play online, etc dont have the right to complain. Its not going to accomplish anything but go ahead and let off some steam.


I use my ps3 for netflix and offline gaming mostly now, thankfully i can still use those services while psn is down. I average 2 episodes of sesame street a day for my 2 year old, fun times. I just bought motorstorm PR at the b1g1 sale at playntrade and i cant play that online, its a little annoying but hey i can watch "tookie" monster with my son still.

Bitchin about someone else bitchin is for the bitchier bitches. Bitch.

 

[kyhadley]

to clear things up though, PSN is not free as it is an advertised feature of the PS3, its built into the price

yeah if PSN wasn't part of the PS3 I would have x360 and XBL.

This couldn't come at a worse time for me.

no ps3 online

bruuutal...I've already watched a lot of bad movies on Netflix.

Thank you for your patience while we work to resolve the current outage of PlayStation Network & Qriocity services. We are currently working to send a similar message to the one below via email to all of our registered account holders regarding a compromise of personal information as a result of an illegal intrusion on our systems. These malicious actions have also had an impact on your ability to enjoy the services provided by PlayStation Network and Qriocity including online gaming and online access to music, movies, sports and TV shows. We have a clear path to have PlayStation Network and Qriocity systems back online, and expect to restore some services within a week.

We’re working day and night to ensure it is done as quickly as possible. We appreciate your patience and feedback.

Valued PlayStation Network/Qriocity Customer:
We have discovered that between April 17 and April 19, 2011, certain PlayStation Network and Qriocity service user account information was compromised in connection with an illegal and unauthorized intrusion into our network. In response to this intrusion, we have:

1. Temporarily turned off PlayStation Network and Qriocity services;
2. Engaged an outside, recognized security firm to conduct a full and complete investigation into what happened; and
3. Quickly taken steps to enhance security and strengthen our network infrastructure by re-building our system to provide you with greater protection of your personal information.

We greatly appreciate your patience, understanding and goodwill as we do whatever it takes to resolve these issues as quickly and efficiently as practicable.

Although we are still investigating the details of this incident, we believe that an unauthorized person has obtained the following information that you provided: name, address (city, state, zip), country, email address, birthdate, PlayStation Network/Qriocity password and login, and handle/PSN online ID. It is also possible that your profile data, including purchase history and billing address (city, state, zip), and your PlayStation Network/Qriocity password security answers may have been obtained. If you have authorized a sub-account for your dependent, the same data with respect to your dependent may have been obtained. While there is no evidence at this time that credit card data was taken, we cannot rule out the possibility. If you have provided your credit card data through PlayStation Network or Qriocity, out of an abundance of caution we are advising you that your credit card number (excluding security code) and expiration date may have been obtained.

For your security, we encourage you to be especially aware of email, telephone, and postal mail scams that ask for personal or sensitive information. Sony will not contact you in any way, including by email, asking for your credit card number, social security number or other personally identifiable information. If you are asked for this information, you can be confident Sony is not the entity asking. When the PlayStation Network and Qriocity services are fully restored, we strongly recommend that you log on and change your password. Additionally, if you use your PlayStation Network or Qriocity user name or password for other unrelated services or accounts, we strongly recommend that you change them, as well.

To protect against possible identity theft or other financial loss, we encourage you to remain vigilant, to review your account statements and to monitor your credit reports. We are providing the following information for those who wish to consider it:

U.S. residents are entitled under U.S. law to one free credit report annually from each of the three major credit bureaus. To order your free credit report, visit www.annualcreditreport.com or call toll-free (877) 322-8228.

We have also provided names and contact information for the three major U.S. credit bureaus below. At no charge, U.S. residents can have these credit bureaus place a “fraud alert” on your file that alerts creditors to take additional steps to verify your identity prior to granting credit in your name. This service can make it more difficult for someone to get credit in your name. Note, however, that because it tells creditors to follow certain procedures to protect you, it also may delay your ability to obtain credit while the agency verifies your identity. As soon as one credit bureau confirms your fraud alert, the others are notified to place fraud alerts on your file. Should you wish to place a fraud alert, or should you have any questions regarding your credit report, please contact any one of the agencies listed below.

Experian: 888-397-3742; www.experian.com; P.O. Box 9532, Allen, TX 75013

TransUnion: 800-680-7289; www.transunion.com; Fraud Victim Assistance Division, P.O. Box 6790, Fullerton, CA 92834-6790

You may wish to visit the web site of the U.S. Federal Trade Commission at www.consumer.gov/idtheft or reach the FTC at 1-877-382-4357 or 600 Pennsylvania Avenue, NW, Washington, DC 20580 for further information about how to protect yourself from identity theft. Your state Attorney General may also have advice on preventing identity theft, and you should report instances of known or suspected identity theft to law enforcement, your State Attorney General, and the FTC. For North Carolina residents, the Attorney General can be contacted at 9001 Mail Service Center, Raleigh, NC 27699-9001; telephone (877) 566-7226; or www.ncdoj.gov.

We thank you for your patience as we complete our investigation of this incident, and we regret any inconvenience. Our teams are working around the clock on this, and services will be restored as soon as possible. Sony takes information protection very seriously and will continue to work to ensure that additional measures are taken to protect personally identifiable information. Providing quality and secure entertainment services to our customers is our utmost priority. Please contact us at 1-800-345-7669 should you have any additional questions.
