Yeah nobody really knows what the problem is but I won't say anonymous cause I don't wanna sound like a dumbass posting crap, but it kinda sucks for people who really use their accounts a lot even thought its free. As for netflix users I'm sure their pretty pissed because netflix should have to rely on the user logging into their psn account. Stupid ass Sony, and yes I know their is a working for the netflix now but a lot of average users won't know that.

Sony is probably just making some security updates or fixes. [quoteThe PlayStation Store is inaccessible to U.S. and European gamers, with many getting the error: "The server is currently down for maintenance."

The Anonymous deal only affected a small amount of PSN users. They only wish they could take credit for it.

The only problem with that is that most games have leveling systems and such...create a new account and you are back to the beginning.
Sony may act like they don't care...but they spend a lot of money on running the PSN, and they don't do it because they are generous. It is a valuable marketing tool for the system, it is an advertising platform, it gets people to buy more games, and it is even a store. They know that a modern system cannot survive without online connectivity.
I don't expect them to issue a public apology for their actions or anything, Sony is a bit like a church when it comes to admitting they were wrong...but they will bleed and bleed...and if they bleed long enough, the future of Sony-Fascist DRM (the NGP and the PS4) are in serious danger. Fine by me...I don't care how great either of them are...I don't buy anything from sony for fear that the features I purchased it for will be removed at a later date. The only way I would even consider buying a PS4 would be if they were selling it at a loss...and then I would send it to Graf to let him start attacking it.

It's costing Sony money, the down time... This week happens to be the release of Mortal Kombat, SOCOM 4 and Portal 2. So, it's not helping the sale of the games with PSN is down and all. I understand things break and need to be fixed, but the timing is bad. Why the hell Sony need a day or two to get things fixed?

You are just a petty, simple-minded little boy, aren't you. Is you life really that pathetic that you have to find pleasure in trolling forums?

And here are the pitfalls of DRM and the cloud..because of Sony and PSN having issues, I can't watch Netflix on my PS3 because Netflix can't authenticate my PSN login. Absolute fail.

When it tells you that the PSN is down just press circle/cancel when the authentication screen comes up and you can still get into Netflix.

So maybe the fans who like their free PSN but who can't give a toss for fans who lamented the loss of OtherOS as a feature of the PS3 might give pause to sympathise now?

So it was the hackers. Annonymous never took credit so it might not be them , but it was an "external intrusion" That caused Sony to shut the system down. While I am disappointed about the outage. It seems unreasonable to complain about a free service. Especially when the shout down was in the overall best interest of the Network and its users. The lack of information in the early stages was uncalled for, they really could have done and can do a better job of informing its customers better.
