[j.o.s.h.1408]

I own a ps3....but this doesnt bother me in the slightest, i have a gaming pc if anything i find it funny! sorry for any ps3 lovers but you do have to laugh, i mean how large is sony? lol

Give me freedom to use different servers/apps etc to connect and play various different games online then one server that every single thing runs on.

"An external intrusion on our system has affected our PlayStation Network and Qriocity services. In order to conduct a thorough investigation and to verify the smooth and secure operation of our network services going forward, we turned off PlayStation Network & Qriocity services on the evening of Wednesday, April 20th. Providing quality entertainment services to our customers and partners is our utmost priority. We are doing all we can to resolve this situation quickly, and we once again thank you for your patience. We will continue to update you promptly as we have additional information to share."

"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.

We thank you for your patience to date and ask for a little more while we move towards completion of this project. We will continue to give you updates as they become available."

Been 5 days now! WTH?

The actual reason now seems to be that regualr gamers got onto the dev mode of PSN and could buy games for free.

I am beginning to wonder if PSN will ever come back!!!!

Their PR is appalling... at least give us daily updates! Hell, we should be getting hourly updates.

Hey,
I do wish people would give sony a chance.

people want everything instantly! in other words most people are impatient.
surely you want Sony to fix it properly rather than rush it?
I would rather Sony fix the issue and then post a statement once its done.
everytime people ask for status updates the longer its going to take...

The other thing is that on one hand people want psn to work 24/7 but then complain its unsecure... You cant patch without some downtime.

summary: be more patient and be pleased the technology exists to be able to play games against people on the other side of the world normally without any lagg or issues. the technology is quite complex so im sure you can forgive that it doesn't work sometimes.
