Update on PSN Service Outages

@Shadowdragoon: I don’t see why us PS+ users should get compensation either, cause let’s face it, we have enough time during a month to download what we want from the store, and of course if it would’ve lasted for weeks then I’d agree with you, or atleast think they should’ve kept the offers up longer, but so far it’s only been 1-2 days.

And also I don’t see why people are saying you pay for the online service when buying games, just as you have to pay Xbox Live sub, cause atleast to most of the stores I buy games, the same game on Xbox360 and PS3 are priced the same. So does that mean on Xbox360 you pay twice for online experience?

Good thing there is a free weekend at Xbox Live….

There is no way this is a Maintenance Problem, something is severly wrong, I have had PS3 since the start and this sort of thing has never happened, but thats my opinion, good luck SONY in fixing it, we’re all sticking by you until its back on, well, I am

As we say in Germany: “Humor is, when you laugh anyway”.

Oh Sony, what an unbelievable time to have “maintenance”

A holiday weekend, XBL has a free weekend, 3 AAA titles are released and Steam integration on a console for the first ever time.

Just great. smh

I’m still not bothered. I was only wanting to play Uncharted 2 triple cash and that’s been postponed til next week anyways. Got plenty other stuff to be getting on with. My PS3 can use the break.

Larzen-”Good thing there is a free weekend at Xbox Live….”

Lol, I know. What are the odds!
Luckily my brother has most of the games I play online on PS3 on his X360 so I’ve been playing that.

Lucky for you Sony, I have no idea why they charge for XBL Gold and I wouldn’t pay for that service at all. Don’t see the point (paying just to play online – No chance).
Unlucky for you though, your PSN has been down for 3 days now (unless you fix it in the next 45mins…lol).

C’mon c’mon c’mon, fix fix fix. Also it would be nice if you tell us what went wrong.

Wow, this is pretty incredible! I think Kevin Butler’s gone rogue! Take him down!

geez people, it’s anonymous and their DDOS attack again, it’s not like Sony actually planned to do maintenance during a holiday, use your head and think.

Just got back early from friday sesh absolutely mullerd thinkin HOMEFRONT lets av it!! NOT A SNIFF!!! this should av been dealt with, well a least an idea of what has happened its 2days man surely there’s something u could tell us! Is it jus a coincidence that bear shizzle has gone down world over not jus PSN!
