We?re aware that some of you have been experiencing intermittent service on PSN today. We?re working on finding a solution, and will report back here as soon as it?s resolved.
Thank you for your patience.

They are obviously not thinking about the millions of customers who they are affecting by doing things.

I think that's the idea. Can't get online, can't buy stuff from Sony. So people going to buy another console.
If they been doing this attack in the past, why do they still have internet access?

That's kinda the point. Hit 'em where it hurts, their pockets. If customers can't get on it means they can't buy stuff. It also hits Sonys reputation for providing a service and may turn some people away from using Sonys online service in the future.

Instead of suing Geohot and "going after" people. They should have chilled out and just banned the IP's of PSN's running a hacked PS3 like Microsoft did with hacked X360's and XBL.
Notice Anonymous didn't go after Microsoft and crash Live! Because Microsoft did it in a way that wasn't anti-consumer. You cheat, you're banned. With Sony you cheat, or even look at a video about cheating...you're sued. I swear Sony isn't ran by executives anymore just lawyers.

It's been fixed... remember that sony can spy on people from youtube videos and track the hacker down.

They can log and upload videos from anywhere (any open wifi) they are not going to log in and upload stuff from there own home. They are not stupid!

I am one of those customers, and I am willing to suffer if it means that someone else is hurting sony...
...and the issues are not fixed; the PSN has been dropping out on me all night.
