PS3 server is down!!!!!!!!!!!!

PS3 server is down and could be down for days according to news reports, I ve tried all day. I have to kill someone, this sucks. (withdraw)

ya man. it sucks. i hope they figure it out soon. i'm not sure they have any clue what is happening yet. surely they would make an announcement to their customers if they knew. tried playing campaign to settle the urge, but that didn't work.

yeah could be 1 - 2 days before its up again. it apparently has something to do with a legal battle between SCEA and a hacker that was charged with providing jailbreaks to its opperating system a while back. and some protesters have hacked the system so Sony needs time to find the root to the hack before they can de-bug it. its for the best i suppose.

That's not entirely true. After 24 hours, Sony has yet to announce the 'problem' and what they have been working on. Also, that hacker's name is George Hotz, aka geohot, notorious for his creation of the blackrain software which jailbreaks the Apple products. IIRC 2 weeks? ago the PSN went down, for maybe 2-3 hours, this was geohot, but he then digressed and stopped with his actions realizing that not only is he sabotaging Sony servers, but he is also angering the Playstation community.


So, yeah. I've read many rumors of what people 'think' is going on, from a Japan server going down and having to re-structure it all the way to the Anonymous hacker(s). All just speculation until Sony announces something.

ha i didnt even know the server was down till i read this, but this is Sony we get to play online for free so i'm not really gonna complain just deal with it & in a day it'll be back up & running.

Someone find that link that went up last year on February 29th when the PSN was down for a couple of days.. they not announcing anything on there?

What does Derchrisi think? I don't believe anything about PSN unless he tells me lol

'apparently'... lol

maybe there are just some server issues

or problems with the last ps home update

or anonymous (but they already said no)

or (just my own thought) problems with the new steam stuff (in portal 2, pc and ps3 players can play together over steam)

Ya, they are saying they shut down the network because of intrusion and to prevent secure info from being accessed. sounds like BS to me, but I beleive they were hacked, but they make it sound like they caught it happening. Anyway, they are increasing security which means they are writing more programming and that could take a bit of time.
I think it is funny how gamers are getting pissed off and wanting something in return. Hell, let's take sony to court for pain and suffering of not having the PSN. what a bunch of crybabies.

last rumor is that it was a attack against their servers to get the admin account informations.

That's what they are saying, but they also said that it would be 1-2 days. I doubt they will tell the whole story. it's easier to blame the hackers so people get mad at them instead of Sony. If the account info is why, don't you think they would have it in lock down pretty quick?

its hackers.... but atleast i got 2 platinums while this is going on

I know its free, but this sucks. Five days now. Come on and get this fixed already. This does effect millions of people around the world on multiple game fronts. i wouldn't put it past them if they didn'tgive us something like duoble xp point weekend or week. Who knows.
