an apology on the heels of dwindling server populations, silly as glitches and bugs and insane queue times...
Kiss of death for an initially promising MMO. BTW FUCK A GODDAMN MASK, unless owning it would give me 500 feat points. Free month, meh to me. I got a job don't really care about losing 8 bucks due to a game being offline. My question would be: did you fuckwits take this 'downtime' to address that ARC in the inner sanctum raid? Him and the Zeta Drone make clearing that bitch mission freaking insanity! Did anyone else see Fast Five? I'M GIVING YOU PEOPLE GOLD HERE! |

So apparently the hackers are planning another attack against Sony this weekend. This is fucking pathetic.

I just don't see why they keep hacking Sony is all. Do they have a legit beef with them or are they just showing their asses?

Anonymous first started because Sony was basically gathering information on anyone who visited a certain hacker's website (first guy to hack the PS3 or whatever), regardless of whether they were PS3 users, hackers or even involved in anyway with Sony's lawsuit against the guy.
Sony starts experiencing difficulties across the board with online. Sony gets hacked by a pro (pros?) and they pull the plug on the PSN. The FBI gets involved and Sony finally reveals the reason PSN is down. That brings us to now. I doubt Anonymous is behind the gathering of personal info or credit cards. They pull docs for the lulz all the time, but usually to individual people who are being assclowns on the internet. Targeting millions of people in one go and credit card numbers to boot is not their m.o. IMO, whoever pulled the info is acting alone or in a small group and is using Anonymous as a cover thanks to some good timing. |

Pretty much, especially since the hackers have claimed they're going to reveal the info, and supposedly are trying to sell it. However, Anon might have shot itself in the foot with the whole "if you claim to be a part of anonymous you are" thing. Especially since the anonymous file they found left as a calling card on Sony's servers. So they can say it's not them all they want, but with the timing, and their stupid little theory, they're going to catch some blame. |

Some good news for PSN owners and some bad news for Sony itself ... actually really bad news if its true for Sony.
The Good News: 1) Sony of Europe giving away 2 free games to PSN users once the services go back online. They will offer users 2 games from a pool of 5 PS3 games and 4 PSP games. http://www.giantbomb.com/news/sony-e...k-online/3145/ 2) PSN is in the final stages of testing and security fixes and should go up "in a week." The Bad News: Assuming the recent report is true, Sony might be in bigger trouble for negligence due to knowing their security and PSN structure was vulnerable and did nothing to protect sensitive information months before the recent PSN attack. The timing of the "open forum" is also around the same time Sony laid off a good amount of employees from their PSN security division. Quote:
There is another rumor of Sony's real reason for the long wait from the shutdown of PSN to finally informing PSN users was due to Sony knowingly trying to sweep away any of their involvement in the mess before the public knew and used lawyers to find out how much they can deny in the mess. |

The ability to be a member of an Identity Theft Program available only by Sony worth up to $1 million of potential coverage or basically one of the insurance programs Sony already covers in their credit card services.

May 06 2011 Service Restoration Update
+ Posted by Patrick Seybold // Sr. Director, Corporate Communications & Social Media As you may know, we’ve begun the process of restoring the service through internal testing of the new system. We’re still working to confirm the security of the network infrastructure, as well as working with a variety of outside entities to confirm with them of the security of the system. Verifying the system security is vital for the process of restoration. Additional comprehensive system checks and testing are still required, and we must complete that process before bringing the systems online. As you’ve heard us say, our utmost priorities are the security of the network and ensuring your data is safe. We won’t restore the services until we can test the system’s strength in these respects. When we held the press conference in Japan last week, based on what we knew, we expected to have the services online within a week. We were unaware of the extent of the attack on Sony Online Entertainment servers, and we are taking this opportunity to conduct further testing of the incredibly complex system. We know many of you are wanting to play games online, chat with your friends and enjoy all of the services PlayStation Network and Qriocity services have to offer, and trust me when I say we’re doing everything we can to make it happen. We will update you with more information as soon as we have it. We apologize for the delay and inconvenience of this network outage. |

Didn't realize how many people rely solely on the online component of video games today. I am almost completely unaffected by this but everyone else is shitting their pants.

Same, the only thing I use PSN for on a regular basis is to sync / check out trophies and occasionally I message people who happen to signed in. The few of my friends who are throwing a fit about it being down don't even use it to play games and my one friend who actually plays COD and Fifa online is not bothered at all by this whole thing.

Yeah, the only game I played online with any consistency was Uncharted 2. Might check out MK online when it comes back up, but fighter tends to leave a bad taste in my mouth when playing them online.

Sony considering adding a reward for information that could lead to the identity of the hacker(s) who caused both PSN and SOE to go down but as of now is leaning on doing no reward.
Sony is also contesting the reports of their security and firmware being out-dated for PSN as a way to disprove the security experts reports of out-dated security and lessen any negligence on their part. http://kotaku.com/#!5799737/sony-pon...was-up+to+date |

Well my friend's identity got stolen apparently. Or at least somebody drained his bank account and spent $350 on colon cleansing products.

Sony are saying that everything should be up by May 31st.
Not sure if things will come up earlier than that or if everything will now be up on the same day. |

I'd love to know how much money this is costing Sony..... not just the cost of fixing the system, but just not having PSN active.....

Capcom is also upset since the delay and PSN downtime is costing a good amount of money they expected to have used on future projects. Although unlike others, Capcom's DRM takes some blame for not allowing games to be played offline. Quote:

Fuck Capcom here. They can whine and bitch, but they put DRM in their PSN games which makes you require a PSN connection, totally making them unplayable during the downtime.
