Playstation Network Down UPDATE


Sony continues to apologize to Playstation users for the lengthy time its network was inoperative as it seeks to repair its network. Many users have expressed concern about their credit card information and whether it was stolen or not. The concern was expressed after the company first expressed no concerns about the theft of financial information that was encrypted, but then told users to verify the information on their credit card bills is accurate.

Technological computer experts and law enforcement officials are continuing to investigate a breach in the system of April 17. The information about the breach was not revealed, however, until April 27. Some have speculated the information was not released because Sony was attempting to determine who caused the problem. Others have claimed the company wanted to hide the problem.

A lawsuit concerning the event has been filed by attorney Ira Rothken on behalf of Qriocity and Playstation subscribers.

Rothken said the lawsuit was initiated for consumers to “learn the full extent” of the security practices concerning data for the company, how much data was lost, “and to seek a remedy” for those affected. Reports have said the data security problems should be solved by May 4th.

    @#*$ Playstation I already sold mine to the pawn shop. Sony is so full of @!#$ !!!! I’m gettin a Fuc&ing X-bOX

    • ??? says:

      tht sounds like a fucking xbox fanboy response, you need to have patience and besides, when PSN comes back all better, you will regret getting a 360… im just saying

      • neil says:

        If all these smart complainers are so trusting to put there credit card numbers online .Were even the us pentagon was hacked.Then i think if ya loose a couple dollar to a hacker you deserve it.And i think sony is not responsible for your personal choice to enter that information.DONT BE SO LAZY GO UP TOWN AND BUY A GAME OR A PSN CARD.
        And i think the only ones to be sued in this case is the hacker and any moron who set a law suite to try and gain on others missfortune.Icluding the lawyer who agrease to take the case

        • swagballs says:

          Your a cunt, by your logic you shouldn’t use credit cards at all, if someone can hack the pentagon then they could probably hack your bank. I hope you get your identity stolen and die from aids.

          • ALLtheseCRYbabies says:

            I agree. We use credit cards knowing what could happen…you could get your identity stolen and die from aids lol. I do agree with Neil though. Go buy a PSN Card. Never put your CC Info online. I even have a Green Dot card for my Netflix and Gamefly accounts that I loaded just for these reasons. So if they still my $120.00 balance then just shame on them.

          • Van says:

            Haha at aids

          • Davidfalkirk26 says:

            Die of aids hahahahahahah thats brilliant the man is a legend lol

        • jamminJami says:

          i agree with Neil 1st off the network is friggin free(although i’d happily pay for smoother online play) so quit crying especially if u were ignorant enough to save passwords or credit card #’s, you have a choice to fill in SENSITIVE info everytime u need it. Guess we’ll see who’s to lazy/stupid to take the few secs and fill it in, to save a headache. My only problem is that I WANNA PLAY ONLINE so hurry the f**k up sony.

        • faggg says:

          hey screw u fagg. Everyone these days has credit cards. Just cuz ur a fucking gas consuming bitch doesnt mean u have to get all retarded about it. ur just a fag that plays all day cuz u have no life and ur taking out ur anger in a moron type of way. fuck off and go back to ur gameboy pussy face.

          • Fack says:

            Whoever hacked Sony must really hate them… or greedy for money. Either way, I can live without videogames. Oh, and for all of you 15th prestige people on Black Ops, I’m glad the Network shut down. Because when it comes back up, you are ALL going to have to start over again. The Network being rebuilt means you lose ALL of your online progress, INCLUDING ALL 15 OF YOUR PRESTIGE LEVELS. Honestly, I don’t know how you guys can even play until your 15th prestige. That’s just ridiculous. I mean… wow. But still… HURRY UP SONY!

        • jimmyv says:

          learn how to spell

        • Jeff says:

          As for neils ingnorant and stupid comment. Yes a lawsuit makes sense due to playstation negligence to keep it safe. When you put in your credit card information it states that its “secure”. Online sales far exceed store sales! If a hacker managed to hack your personal bank and take all your money wouldnt they be liable? Or are you just the moron that trusted all your money to a bank instead of under your bed.

    • getafix says:

      geta life nobhead PSN is freeeee !!!!and it’ll be back on soon

    • game master says:

      PSN will be back FREE and within a week this will have all blown over stop bitchin grow apair and enjoy your lesser xbox . shit happens

    • PrettyGurlRock says:

      YOU MIGHT WANT TO RETHINK THAT ONE ;TO ALL YOU XBOX LIVE USERS HERES ONE FOR YOU:
      Fresh off the data breach that slammed Sony’s PlayStation Network, rival Microsoft has issued a security warning tied to Xbox Live and the Activision shooter Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2.

      At the support website for Xbox Live, Microsoft has posted a service alert stating that “users may receive potential phishing attempts via title specific messaging while playing Modern Warfare 2.”

      Microsoft says they are working to resolve the issue. “We apologize for any inconvenience this may cause and thank you for your patience,” reads the alert.

      The alert arrives as Sony tackles a massive data breach of its PlayStation Network that will keep the online service shut down for at least another week.

      Modern Warfare 2 continues to be one of the most popular titles on Xbox Live. According to a recent report on Xbox Live activity from programming director Major Nelson, it’s the second most popular title behind Call of Duty: Black Ops.

    • Giggler says:

      @bill parrish- i feel sorry for your panic button reaction to this unfortunant event. go have fun spending 50$ a year to play online games that aren’t really that great to begin with. all xbox has is halo and thats done and gone. im sellin all my xbox stuff and running sony all the way

      • benny says:

    • Bobert says:

      dude.. chill… its not worth dieing over.
      p.s. go outside, get a life, play a sport.. something other than video games.

    • benny says:

      your a tosser mate 360 are shit the only good thing about it is you can play music off it when you play halo was shit

  2. Steven Wiemken says:

    Will there be any reembursment for those of us that have bought online only games recently. I have bought many games just because of the sony name and now my son and I can’t even play the ones we just bought. In the last 2 months I have spent 150 dollars or better on games for this system and two of them are online only. What are you going to do to compensate us for our loss of the Playstation Network. It wasn’t my fault that it is down and now I and my son have to deal with it. It is the only system that we own so we can’t just turn on another game system and play. Sorry if this came out rude or mean I am just upset because I have spent all this money and now I can’t use the system.

    Steven Wiemken

    • izzy71t says:

      the network will probley be up by May 4 th

    • Joe says:

      you can live without videogames for 2 week give me a break. You want 20$ for the two weeks you couldnt play your game? Xbox went down for 2 weeks and they actually had to pay for online services. Stop your bitching and go play a sport or something

      • Ryan says:

        It isn’t the two weeks of gaming lost that is the issue. It is the potential financial damage that people want compensation for. Criminals are now in possession of my financial information, this is because Sony failed to establish the necessary safeguards around said information. I know that Sony probably had a good system in place to protect the information, but nothing is ever 100% safe. Furthermore, when the information was compromised on April 17th Sony decided ” hey let’s wait 10 days before we announce that 70 million people’s credit card information is now in the hands of criminals” That act alone is why the United States senate is launching an investigation, and there are a few class action lawsuits being thrown at them. So before you run your mouth off about “lazy gamers who need to play sports” you should do some reading.

      • Ai says:

        XBOX was down to to many people online and it was overwhelmed, but they also explained themselves. I have a xbox,wii and just bought the ps3 on March 23 to upgrade because of the higher definition. YOu pay for your ‘free’ online when you pay for your system. It’s included, nothing is free in the tech. dept.. It’s like firecrackers, buy 1 get 3 free.

    • Jan says:

      $150? you should have bought a bike for your son and play outside.

    • jax says:

      Go outside and enjoy the fresh air…

    • Ghost says:

      I understand how annoying it is that you bought online only games and you cant play them but they will not reemburse you because you are the one who made the decision to buy them games knowing that hackers are after playstation right now.

    • mini says:

      you can always go play a board game or go outside with your son, its not like you have lost the games that you have bought you just have to wait a little while before you can play them. Me and my daughter have found plenty of things to do without it being on a game system. I would love to be playing my online games with playstation but I can’t so I just find other things to do until it comes back up. We are all upset about it

    • faggg says:

      hey get a life and get off psn. Just cuz u and ur fat ass son cant play for a whole week doesnt mean the worlds gunna end. get a life u fucking lard. what kind of a dat plays ps3 with his son? AN ADDICT. Get a life u cunt face bitch.

      • grl says:

        Fagg – I can’t possibly understand why you have such a little sense of dignity or respect that you feel the need to curse and insult complete strangers. What kind of person are you to spend time and energy reading comments from people which you clearly hate and judge without proper grounds, and then complain about their postings by swearing obscenities to make yourself feel important and smarter??? I can’t possibly understand. But I expect you will respond with more ‘intelligent’ crap and swearing as this seems to be your only method of communicating with people.

  3. Thomas says:

    how can someone push a law suit against a company that is not charging us to play online… welcome to the new era of selfish people. be prepared to start being charged to play online because of some asshole who thinks that the world revolves around video games.

    • izzy71t says:

      hange in there bro , it will probley be up by May 4 th play campanges it dose work bro

    • willdo says:

      I agree completely with Thomas. The value in getting a Playstation system is that we don’t pay to go online. I understand that we get bummed because we are inconvenienced, but lets keep it in perspective! You are getting online gaming for FREE!!!! Microsoft/Xbox charges you for everything!!!! Go to a movie and wait for things to get back to normal. Support them while they deal with the jerks that hacked PS’s network!!!

      • Keeter says:

        Gaming online for FREE? WHAT? What universe are you from? Perhaps I should first advise it is not wise practice to drink from the bong dude.

        Do you live in a place where the government provides internet access for free? Do you steal your connection from an unsuspecting neighbor? (Maybe mommy or daddy gives you the money, therefore you truly do play for FREE)

        I figure you are at least one of the following:

        Someone that doesn’t pay the bills.
        Someone that hasn’t figured out the hundreds perhaps thousands of dollars invested in Console, Accessories, $60 a pop games, Broadband Internet monthly service charges etc.
        Someone who works, or a PR representative, for Sony.

        We, at least the rest of us, don’t pay hard earned money for something to NOT work as advertised. Did you pay YOUR hard earned money for everything to gain access to the FREE (currently zero access, non-existent) network. I wonder since you are so flippant or obtuse to a return on the investment involved with PlayStation.

        My investment decision for the PS3 was largely based upon the network being provided free. The console at the time purchased was significantly more expensive than x-box. But I figured it all balanced out because everything on x-box is a Cost option. Sometimes it’s just difficult to know if your decision is correct.

        Get me once, shame on you. Get me twice, shame on me.

        If you purchased “financed” a car because oil changes were free and THEN didn’t have use of it for 2 weeks would you be upset? Especially because they used bubble gum to plug the oil pan drain and now it must be rebuilt? Oh, sorry the FULL payment is still due at the end of the month.

        Guess what, WE don’t have a free PS3 network. Myself and 70+ million people, have ZERO PS3 network. I paid extra for a console that is minimally useful. And not useful for my (and millions of others) intended purpose. For many it’s now just an electrical paperweight.

        Finally, how about your “personal” information? You obviously have not been a victim of identity theft. Until perhaps a month or two from now since you were on PSnet. I can tell you first hand, it is a nightmare. If your account was all your personal information. If you actually had anything the “hacker(s)” wanted (like money or credit). You are now much more likely to become a target.

        Wondering what tune you will be singing if you become a victim because of their shoddy network management?

        Will we live through this?
        The vast majority will still be alive on May 4th. (but with 70 million, some won’t)

        Are video games a necessity of life?
        Heck no! Nothing except food and shelter are necessities.

        Were Sony’s practices irresponsible?
        Yes, ALMOST as much as the hackers.
        The hackers were malicious. I think we will find after investigation, Sony was cutting corners to squeeze more profit. ultimately, it will be a case of penny wise and pound foolish.

        • faggg says:

          moron, It is free compareed to everything else. U pay money for internet for work free psn is just a bonus. so get a fuckiiing life and get a job to pay for ur supposedly non free network. where the fuck do u live?? mexico.. where wifi is 500 dollars a month… stay on ur side.

        • David says:

          Keeter– you pay for online to get online to surf and to search for whatever you want. What extra charge do you think that you pay to play online with the PS3??? AND the PS3 has a BLUE RAY PLAYER— go find a freaking awesome blue-ray movie, and sit back like the rest of us, and wait for them to fix a problem that is only gonna become the epidemic for the country… GUESS WHAT!!!?!!??! You had a credit card linked to your PSN acct.——GO CANCEL IT AND GET ANOTHER ONE RETARD!!! duh! I’m a little bit smarter than u, I think… and I’m so happy that I am.—lol.

    • Jerry says:

      I agree Thomas it’s the same as these people complaining about getting something for free like playing online and saying they are switching to xbox where you can pay to have something like this happen.

    • 8 says:

      @thomas not selfish, sony states in there EULA that our information is kept secure. they breached on their promise. free or not sony is held responsible for promises they did not keep.

      • ToBnamedlater says:

        Sony doesn’t have to tell us anything. they have a right to keep all of the information about the hackings to themselves, so you should count yourself lucky that you even know that it was hacked.

      • gunsrazorsknives says:

        they kept it secure, but someone HACKED and STOLE it. it’s like someone breaking into your house, it’s locked up secure but people find ways in. all i hear is negativity and bullshit, strap on a pair of balls and take it, i’ve been on PSN since day 1, shit happens, the world’s fucked up sometimes, blame the hackers, not sony.

      • antoniodjzxd says:

        Thats why you invest as a gamer and have both for situtations as so.

      • Ben says:

        are you real … does your bank protect you from fraud yes … is it possible that your ATM card can be clone …yes

        If some people have been targeted for identity theft I am sure Sony will be the one who will pay for it at the end ….

    • Joshua says:

      If you read the article, the lawsuit was for information not for money.

      • TRENT says:

        PSN needs to hurry up and get back up because i miss playin black ops. Its been like a week already. How much longer seriously?

    • Chopper says:

      Thomas…

      You think that PSN is ‘free’? Excuse me – no company gives anything away for free. Sony decided to pursue a different model than Microsoft. Sony’s model for operation of the PSN is based on money made from sales of hardware, software, game downloads, streaming video and music services. When you purchase anything that requires the PSN, you are funding the PSN directly. You ARE paying for it.

      Sony has simply chosen the bury the cost of the PSN into these items. If it were absolutely ‘free’ then anyone would be able to use it without the prerequisite purchases (specifically, a PS3 and supporting game titles).

      So, when someone purchases an item that funds the PSN, it is reasonable that they expect the service for use of these items to be online. Reasonable downtimes notwithstanding, the service is expected to be up and online.

      Take for example the game DC Universe Online. If you are a PS3 user, you cannot play with game without the PSN. There is no single player offline mode. To add insult to injury, a separate fee is required to play this specific game on top of the purchase price of the game itself. People who own this game currently cannot play, and because prepayment is required to access the game, they are not receiving services that they’ve already paid for.

      I do find it odd that people insist that PSN is somehow free – a generous gift from Sony, and that consumers have no rights of service expectation for it.

      I like my PS3. I like Sony. This has all been unfortunate. But this really hasn’t been handled very well. Customers are going to have very lofty expectations from Sony with regard to compensation and PSN features when the dust settles, and I don’t have a lot of faith that Sony will see it that way.

      We’ll see.

      • ToBnamedlater says:

        xbox live uses the exact same tactics that you just talked about. If this happened to xbox live, you have a right to complain about it because they throw a $50 fee on top of all of the things you mentioned.

      • gunsrazorsknives says:

        it’s free, get over yourself, xbox pay for online play and content, so yeah, it’s free

      • David says:

        Chopper— what part of “If you don’t want a game that has a monthly fee (LIKE World Of Warcraft), DON”T BUY THE FREAKEN GAME!!!!!!! THERE”S ABSOLUTELY NOTHING THAT YOU HAVE TO PAY FOR TO ACCESS THE PSN NETWORK (You already pay for the internet for surfing =-=—- not ACCESSING THE PSN NETWORK!!!!!!) Grow 2 more cents of a brain, and have it finally sink in… If you don’t click on anything that says, “Spend money” and you don’t have a game that says, “Spend money monthly”, then you don’t pay a dime to use the PSN network — even for browsing from it.

    • Greg says:

      THANK YOU

    • brad says:

      here here, playstation has been an awsome system for the last 4-5 years, have offered us a wide varriety of games, and has never charged us for internet usage only online purchases. Now playstation users are just turning to x box because they cant play video games, talk about unloyal fans…go outside, kick a ball around, go hiking, camping, do something other than play video games for the time being. This problem isnt going to be permanent, its going to get fixed and playstation will be back online in no time, but for now its down and theres nothing we can do about it. Besides is going a couple weeks without video games really that big of a deal? what a superficial society we live in

      • bds44 says:

        I just got my ps3 last wensday.

      • Queens NY says:

        i been with sony since the begining but they really screwed us this time. leaking credit card information and home adresses. what…. if the bank did that you would be switching banks why not sony.how could they allow x box to get add on’s a month in advance.x box customers have way better connection sony’s sucked before it went down.sony always made crappy products for a higher price. thats japan for you. stop complaining to sony cause they dont understand your language.oh yeah and they have already made plans to charge you in the future so get ready to do nothing about it like your doing now.how do side with a company that just gave a HACKER your info. stupid gamers dont wait. teach sony a lesson if they dont compensate you

    • Alex says:

      lol the moron that thinks he will win in this lawsuit has a rude awakening coming to him. like you said they dont charge us to play online. So therefore they arent losing anything by not being able to play. only people that could possibly have a law suit against ps3 are the companies that had games being released during this. and not the public that is crying cause they cant play video games online for a week.

      • BWSanford says:

        Why do people insist on blaming Sony, they were the target of a criminal action. Any security system can be breached given the time and effort. They are working on fixing the system and making changes, or would everyone just like the same network, including the hole found just put back up. And no, I don’t work for Sony or live in my parents basement. I work a 50 hour week and play baseball twice a week, but do enjoy playing online in my spare time.

    • bkell says:

      I’m with wiemken. I bought DC Universe and can’t even play it. I could have bought something else. Best buy won’t let me exchange the game for something I can play because of their “policy!” I’m out the $60 for the game. I’d rather they shut the system down to get it fixed but I didn’t even know about it when I bought my game and now I’m stuck going for trophies in old games I’m bored with.

  4. jamesb says:

    My god. Everyone just needs to relax and get a grip. I understand being worried about the credit card information but people ought to be diligent in monitoring their banking accounts on a regular basis even if this debacle never happened. That’s just common sense. If it meant that the Playstation Network was down for a month in leiu of a more secure system, then so be it. For god’s sake, go out and get some fresh air for a while or just get a f*#$ing life.

  5. Zechs says:

    The lawsuit isn’t because of the fact that someone isn’t able to play online. It is due to the fact that our personal data was breached and Sony should have been more careful after the first attack. Also I dont think selling my PS3 is going to change anything, and I don’t plan on defecting to XBOX where I will have to pay for online play and have an inferior console. This will work itself out and Sony will have gotten a big lesson from this

    • ToBnamedlater says:

      they warned you that your information was going to be vulnerable when you signed up to begin with. the lawsuit has no legal grounds at all. Sony warned you what you would be getting into, and it wasnt Sony’s fault that they were hacked. It’s not that they werent carefull. Im sure the hackers could have easily gotten into xbox live too.

  6. j anderson says:

    I couldn’t agree more! Sony has been gracious enough to give us a free gaming network furthermore,(not that i would buy them) but sony also allows 3rd party products, controllers etc. for those who may not be able to afford the sony brand stuff. I feel we should be patient with sony. It seems they are working hard to resolve the issue and have been upfront with us. Lets hope everything works out for the best. As far as launching a lawsuit(ambulance chaser!) get a life! maybe try protecting real people with real problems. Or perhaps take a case “pro bono” so you might once again sleep at night!

  7. Mike says:

    All of u people that r crying n complaining acting like this really was sony’s fault, who ever reads this n understands what i am saying shut the fuck up.

    Now lets get 1 thing straight, I am a sony user get that out of the way. Sony is a network that provided all of us over the world with a way for us 2 play against other people n was a better way of gameing.

    1. Now u people that bitch, Answer this question, Did sony tell us 2 use our credit cards.

    2.Did they not give us another way 2 buy things ( i.e. network cards)

    3.Did they tell u 2 be that stupid n put ur personal identification over a world wide web

    I could go on n on but sorry my life dose not revolve around a game.So for those who wine n r mad at sony, Ur the dum ass that put urself in this position.

  8. Jordan says:

    Appreciate what Sony have done, especially giving us the opportunity to play online for free. If you’re bothered that much about it, go and support Microscam and pay $’s a month for Xbox Live. Some idiot wanted to cause mayhem and he’s done exactly that. It was bound to happen sooner or later. Let’s just hope they learn from this lesson and improve their network security. It’s not just you suffering, it’s other people as well, so asking for a ‘reembursement’ is ridiculous because millions would be asking for one also and it won’t happen. Think of it as a keylogger or any other virus on your computer, your card details are at risk of being stolen and things become limited, exactly like Playstation Network at the moment, just a different situation. Are you going to ask Microsoft for a ‘reembursement’? No, you won’t.

  9. zzzz says:

    or maybe you could… take a break? god forbid your console doesnt work, do you have no other form of entertainment, the only people suffering emotional damage from PSN being down are those who substituted their life for a game console.

    if they give a couple online freebies, ill be fine.

    they should have encrypted all personal information!

  11. Iserhoff says:

    Selling mine also…. already got bought an Xbox 360

  12. Bill Clinton says:

    My only concern is the money that I have in my wallet, will it still be there when the network is up and running.Things happen,and although Sony should have notificed us about the loss of data sooner,I still won’t trade my PS3.

  13. codie brewster says:

    come on sony are ou kidding me get your crap together and i garentee you will not have any playstation players if you go from being able to play online free to charging people because of some retards this is crap fix your network or i am buying a microsoft xbox and selling ps3

  14. jake says:

    Get your xbox, bitch , moan. Whatever, xbox has been charging to be online since the last system. At least Sony gave us something that we could use FOR FREE. Thank you Sony for realizing that paying $400 for a new system was enough. And for the guy bitching about compensation for lost video game hours, are you kidding? Take your kid fishing or something assho&e. Iam sure he could use more than video game future credits cause you can’t park his ass in front of the t.v. to blow him off while you surf porn. Thanks again Sony.

  15. Adam says:

    SO the whole lawsuit business seems proper. It has nothing to do with online being free or not Thomas. Obviously you do not know how to read, also I am suprised you can even spell. If you read the information ALL over the INTERNET, peoples Security have been breached, PERSONAL INFORMATION. Credit cards are the main concern, if someone has that and all personal information, Shit can hit the fan a lot more then it already has. They should have mentioned this the first day it was shut down, atleast this way, we could have all done our own share to keep our stuff secure, but they waited almost a week until they told 77 MILLION people. PEOPLE get ur facts straight before leaving a comment

  16. Dustin B says:

    1… Why would you spend a few hundred dollars for an obsolete system like wii or xbox?

    2… You sire should go outside with your son and play ball or something… be a dad.

    3… i agree… I bet sony will charge people to play online now since they’re gonna be getting sued. pathetic.

    4… if its free to play online, why is everyone so concerned. you should be vigilant about ur credit and stop whining. go outside. play single player.

    5… im a plus member for sony. im glad im being reimbursed. i have no complaints at all. just wanna sync trophies lol. the amount i paid for plus is only like 18 bucks for 3 months… so ill get back maybe a dollar, tops? whoopde do! stupid how people want free things for having to wait a week or two for free online gaming!! so u people can have ur systems that cant play blu-rays, or dvds in general (wii). u can have ur systems that cant play cds (wii). you can have ur system that requires u to pay to play online (xbox)

  17. Ron says:

    Well, one thing I’m pissed about is a company this large is too cheap to encrypt specific data so it’s not as easy to reach out and get… and another thing is that a multi-billion dollar company puts a series of games out and within 24 hours those games are not accessible for online play for now over a week and will most likely be a minimum of another week… We pay twice as much for a game because it’s available for online play… now, what do we have? A game we can’t play online and paid twice as much for it! No, it don’t really change my life but it just goes to prove that the consumer takes it in the ass every time. When they find the culprits and file a lawsuit and win that lawsuit… it’s not the common consumer that will win, it’s the corporations and lawyears… the game is still going to cost us double, whether we can use it or not! Hell, do you really think this is going to help any? They can’t even seem to keep simple cheaters off the games… hacking has become a way of life in our technologically, low-ethics, instant gratification society. It’s all a joke now! Time to move to Ruby Ridge!

    • ToBnamedlater says:

      xbox live has been hacked WAY more times than psn ok? so obviously it has worse security than psn. and what are you talking about “Twice the Price” every new game out for the ps3 is $60, and guess what, it is the same as it’s xbox 360 counterpart! except the 360 version has more bugs.

  18. GARY says:

    We should not be so fast to throw sony under the bus, we need to focus more on the hackers,playstation never charged us to play online and we take a risk anytime we give our info. out ,smart people open up more than one account and keep small sums of money in accounts that we freely give out our info. Sony good luck in working this out. I got your back

  19. matt says:

    Haha people are rediculous. if it wouldnt have gone out, half of you guys wouldn’t have played it very much anyways. and if you did, its good to get off for a week or two. dont you feel better, not mentally like physically. its all for the best honestly.

  20. matt says:

    oh and, the games you bought, arent gonna become unpopular in 2 weeks, with noone playing it, everyone will get on and youll still get the brand new realease experience. chill out.

  21. Aaron Zeit says:

    What about those of us who subscribe to services like Hulu Plus, Netflix, and Qriocity? I have all three and use them exclusively through my PS3 since both of the computers in my house are broken (kids). Am i supposed to cancel my subscriptions to these services being that i cannot use them?? Will i be reimbursed since this network outage is actually costing me money?? Is Sony going to address these issues at all, or just let us all figure it out on our own??? I feel like they have left us all high and dry so to speak. If the iPhone has a glitch it makes the national news… The only real news i could find on the PS3 network outage is on this stupid website…. And “I” had to find “IT”!!!!!!!!!!!

    • julie.fortier@gmail.com says:

      i hope i get back my playstation store so i can play my games an buy many more.

  22. Adrian says:

    All the stuff about hackers is bs. Do you know that 90 percent of the time that a company is breach is internal.. Yes it is a inside job!!!!!

  23. Adrian says:

    Dont get me wrong i Love my PS3 and Sony is cool too. but not every body is decent..

  24. MIKE says:

    Dude are you retarded, Sony make a lot money off of selling products and service on the ps3 network. Witch is the way it should be done, unlike MS(the greedy giant). Which I be leave that all huge corp. Should give back to society(not just give to redcross, but technology infrastructure of country you reside in). It should be 30 % of the company profit each year. Pay it forward and you will prosper.

  25. Levi says:

    All this arguing and crying about online is stupid!! i download stuff all the time on PSN and ive checked everyday for it to be back up and researched for updates just like everyone on here! ive got stuff i wanna download right now and cant because of this but i can still use my system! ive got ps1 games that ive been playing and games that i can play offline as well so i can be patient for it to come back. ppl just need to quit cryin and gettin their feelina all hurt like theyre the only ones!

  26. Joker says:

    Damn You Guys Are Lagging It.! -_______________-

  27. goku says:

    screw xbox 360, you guys ranting about how shit ps3 is, did you forget that xbox was down for 2 weeks in 2008… im not trying to offend anyone
    , only the console

  28. Cotton says:

    EVERYBODY QUIT WHINING!!! ALOT OF PEOPLE DONT EVEN HAVE ELECTRICITY OR FOOD TO EAT AND YALL ARE ALL BITCHING AT EACH OTHER OVER A PIECE OF TECHNOLOGY THAT WONT EVEN MATTER IN A YEAR. PS. THE SHIT AINT FREE EITHER, DONT’ KNOW WHY YALL THINK ITS FREE FOR, HOW THE HELL DO YOU THINK THEY MAKE 88 BILLION A YEAR.

  29. steeeef says:

    For so long we should all get something in return for being patient with Sony.

    fuck my live

  31. dave says:

    welcome to the age of type two diabetes. When peopl can’t play a video game, instead of going outside and enjoying the sun. they go on their laptops and bitch about material items. have a great day and enoy hating life you fucking pessimists

    Guess what there is something called outside go ride a bike play a sport or just go for a walk there is life without playstaton. Ok it sucks but do something else there are people out there right now in places like Lybia, Syria and Afghanistan to name a few who are fighting for there lives and freedom and SOME of you lot are bitching about psn being down for 2 weeks get a f*****g life.

  34. PS GAMER says:

    i changed from X box to my PS3 and will never go back,,,like most of you i dont know why people are bitchin,,,its FREE FREE FREE FREE ,,,,like its shitty that this happen but this HACK is apperently quite complex and one of the biggest pulled off ,,,dont need to worry about your Credit Cards but u should change your passwords if ,,IF you only have 1 for everything,,,

  35. matthew says:

    wtf yo if i lose my credit card shit ima be pissed cuz like wtf

    • tasha says:

      I have been able to stream online movies… but i can not listen to the music that i DO pay every month to listen to ….i dont have another source of music…i am not asking for money or anything .. but i do think for the time being that i have missed my week with out music i shouldnt have to pay for that week i dont care if it is 2.50 i work hard for the 2.50 cents.. every penny counts … i worked damn hard for the ps3 and i do not go online for FREE i pay for the net.. i pay for the controllers to play with online…so idk why people keep saying sony lets us play online for free … cuz they dont not if you dont have the net.. you cant… so u do have to pay to play online!!! not sony but your internet company you do… and if sony made us pay how many u think will pay for that and there internet would make no sense…i do think sony should compensate the active users…. who do consume there lifes around the consule and the reason is … becuz if it werent for those active users sony wouldnt even have a playstation to get hacked… so i think they need to support there customers even if its wrong doing if your child makes a mistake u pay the consquense to …. sony ‘s baby is playstation… pay for the faults ….

    • WR Davis says:

      Now I understand how those people who are substance abusers feel. Just by reading the responses people have a real addiction to video games. Next time you see someone drunk and you call them a addicted loser, look in the mirror because you were having withdrawls from a video game. I miss my game but I am not going crazy worrying about it. People bash Sony, but as soon as the network is available no one will care about it being down. Let them take their time and secure the network so next time those impotent hackers without a life will not be able to break in. If these hackers are that good why can’t they get a meaningful job? I think we already know.

  36. Derek says:

    you fuckin hackers- – when i find out who the fuck you are i am going to Kick your fuckin Face in and break your fuckin Hands– so that you will not be able to hack ever again.. pissed off becouse every one that is a play-station fan suffers .
    X- box 360 Sucks Balls –

  37. Derek says:

    the only way you can make it up to the Play-station fans is to F**K up the 360 — then all will be forgiven .

    X-box 360 sucks — i hate x-box .

  38. Donny says:

    Ps3 is selling for the same price as an x-box but includes a blue ray player and they don’t charge you 100 ****ing dollars a year just to play online games. And i have had my ps3 for two years with no problems. I think that people are blowing things out of proportion just because they havn’t been able to play video games for a week. You see… s**t happens, and it happens to everybody in life and the only people that we hold onto when times get tough are those who supported us and help us in time of need. And now that it’s happening to sony after all the money they saved us (Or me at least) everybody seems to be b****ing about it… seriously, grow up. Go run your own business and see what it feels like to be attacked by greedy s.o.b’s. But there is one thing about sony that i can’t be too sure about… Their service has been free for so long but lately it seems like they are trying to slowly coax people into paying.. The only thing i’m worried about is that there is more to this than some group of hackers and this event is taking place so that they can charge for online use claiming that this “attack” was the cause and if people want their service to be safe they’re going to have to pay. Who knows…

  39. arctic_cat2008 says:

    I can live without the network for a long time, there’s lots of other stuff too do so cool your jets all you whinners!!!

  40. carl says:

    need online game =( im gonna die

  41. Rob says:

    It’s just a game.We should be bitching at the asshole
    who hacked sony.I pay over $50.00 A year for my Xbox
    this is free so relax it will be up and runing soon.
    What im woried about is i have my 14th prestige on black opps and am not looking forward to starting over.Get a life move out of your mothers basmen there is a hole world out there go enjoy it.

  42. cw1025 says:

    THE LBP2 TRON PACK IS OUT I NEED IT NOW!!!!!!!!!!! I HATE HACKERS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  43. PSNLOVER says:

    well we all have our opinions…. I say get psn back online and make everyone happy and I would rather pay for psn and get other free things like map packs and stuff.. If they charges for black ops they would come out with more map packs and give you more so you may get more for your money… But I still like the free about it but the servers suck cause it’s free lags and lots of off time on psn. But that’s what you get for it being free….

  44. j bangr says:

    stop getting mad at each other it is a shitty situation and it sucks to not be able to play your favorite online game but switching to xbox might make you feel better to play online but your still gonna have to go and get live memberships every so often then get microsoft points cards so instead of using your credit card just go and get network cards to keep your info safe if your willing to put the effort in getting points cards i don’t see what the difference is in getting psn cards so try to be patient and use this as a lesson learned for us and playstation just something to think about if your wanting to switch to xbox just my opinion not trying to tell anyone what to do

  45. Ace says:

    If your email and password is jepordized do something about it.! if your cc is being hacked your dumbass shoud know about it.. and you’ll get your money back. highly unlikely to happen anyways
    ima huge sony fan, my friend payed over a 300 dollars on being online for a couple(3) of years with xbox, replaced it twice(pieces of $hit) = 500ish lost.probably paid 200 on batteries. 80 for wireless internet on xbox, all = $1080. All while he couldnt surf the net, or blu ray… lol some people used to buy computers just to surf the net… ps. their controller blows!!
    all in all thank you sony for quality customer satisfaction for 8 years, and letting me keep my 1100+ dollars.
    go shoot a puck outside, or indoors offline with your friends. (if you have any). or better yet get some pu$$y. im sure it’ll b resolved very soon

    • awesomeresponse says:

      Everyone should read the above statement, most realistic respose I’ve heard in a blog. Also you xbox fans are on some serious dope, I bought my 320GB PS3 bundle ( MNR, uncharted 2, blu ray movie, remote) for $299, you can’t find a good xbox bundle, not 1 with a big hard drive,ptice is a joke, quit saying PS3 a lot more, it’s not,incorporate free PSN access, access the internet & blu ray, Xbox 360 4GB system, no freebies $129.99, lol get some pussy, get some sun, reaquaint yourself with in person socializing with people, as for buddy who said that he has inside info that Sony paid to have their own system hacked, who’s your source, your crack dealer or the guy you went halfers on your meth lab with, most stupid thing i’ve heard in a long time, thank you 4 confirming my 3 year old is smarter than you. Nice day, going to the park with my son & wife (model turned photographer), get laid, this downtown is nothing, unless you really don’t have a life, I do miss my online black ops but pussy is the best

  46. paul says:

    omg,it dont matter if its xbox live or psn network, windows server,or apple server,info gets leaked hackers hack systems,and the people controlling these servers work there a s s off to keep them safe,but no matter how hard they work too keep are info safe,there is groups working gust as hard to get that info.oh ya and p.s ps3 is free online play,yes u have to pay for add ons map packs,but but xbox is the same way + u have to pay just to get on line,,,thats y my xbox 360 makes a nice ps3 stand

  47. Heero says:

    I love my ps3. I love going online and getting my ass kicked and not be worried about when my “live” subscription is up. Also, online gaming is free. I have my games that i had bought and they still work. I am a little angry that the PSN went down, but like most of these people have said I went for a walk, I’m sure a lot of you could use it. Stop bi*ching and go out for a while. Also, Blueray, Free Online, and Playstation ftw!

  48. lando333 says:

    Still friggin free, if i’m not using my credit card on psn online gaming it’s called, free! i could care less about all the stupid tiny details, chopper, do you actually sit there and read the privacy policies and disclaimers? then get a life.

  49. greg says:

    i kinda agree with every1 thats got the patience 2 wait i mean cmon if it were ne other system what would u do i mean ive got all 3 playstations an psp an they all work fine no troubles or nuthin i get xbox an in 1 yr all 3 i buy burnt out (manufacturers fault) but i didnt hold a huge stink bout it like u ppl do like cmon get a life shit happens for a reason nuthins perfect so y should ur gamin life be i aint pissy bout this most ppl in here aint an besides y the fuck would u use ur personal credit card i use pre paid visa or master card so i dont really lose out on much wow $20 like seriously ppl cmon

  50. Kevin says:

    this is exactly why you shouldn’t use your credit cards on something like a backround for you playstation, things like that are just not needed and is definitely a waste of money. All you have to do is buy a system, buy a game, and your online for free, no other system has that kind of convenience and in my own personal opinion, if you do like to buy stuff on the PSN, like backgrounds, avatars, or themes, then you need to get a new hobby, besides, half of those things you can find a free one. You should have realized this was going to happen when you couldn’t join a match in COD without it being hacked. But in all fairness you get what you pay for and i don’t blame Sony one bit, I blame the 30 year old nerd with the triple thick glasses still living in their mothers basement playing dungeons and dragons and world of warcraft that have nothing better to do with their time. Sony will fix this and it will all be water under the bridge.

  51. Playa says:

    Basically I just want to say that anyone who actually put in there credit card info to the PSN store or whatever is a fuckin idiot…..Honostely…..I have a Ps3 and i buy shit with the cards N shit……those people that get there shit stolen are just stupid for submitting the shit

  52. Clate says:

    People hackers will get into ANYTHING they want. Master card and Pay Pal have been hacked as well as Amazon. Are all these cheap companies to? Also if people would stop being hard-headed they would see that Sony said “there is no evidence that personal information has been taken” they just can say for a fact it hasnt been. If our info was taken we would have known days ago. Stop complaining geez…. Its free. It does suck that PSN is down but it will be up in 3-5 days probably.

  53. Dan M. says:

    WTF is wrong with some of you people?! Look don’t hate sony, hate the assholes who hacked the PSN and stole our info. No matter how good any company makes their security some asshole spoiled 19 year old little bitch whose mommy and daddy should have spent more time beating some sense into them instead of buying them everything they want will be learning new ways to hack more complex security systems on networks. So the way I see it you whiney fat little bitches who can’t go two weeks without playing online are as annoying as the fucking hackers! Your online game doesn’t work, play one where you don’t have to be online, or take a hint, maybe you need to get off your fat ass and get your kids off their fat asses and go outside and play some real sports not just wave around a gay light wand and pretend you are really good at something that would probably cause you to have a heartattack if you did it in real life for more than 5 min. Take a look around people this whole world, especially our country are going down the shitter and all you fuckers care about is how you can get “free” money from a company you don’t pay to play in the first place. And @ Chopper, dude you are a fucking retard! PSN is free you fuck tard, no shit they make a profit from download content, they don’t force you to buy it in order to play online. You don’t pay any monthly fees. And no shit you have to buy a gaming system. Jesus do you just want everything to be handed to you for nothing? And don’t any of you fuckers have jobs? And if you do, do you work at least 40hrs a week? PSN I still love you and I hope any asshole who tries to get free money from you goes bankrupt from lawyer’s fees.

    • Mr Guy says:

      I agree. WTF is wrong with people. I hate the hackers that attacked the network. My PS3 and the online gaming were awesome. The Blu ray drive is icing on the cake. Took Microsoft almost 6 years to get the xbox made so it wouldnt overheat constantly. Plus they charge you to play online. As well a news article out yesterday has annouced that the XBox live network was hacked as well. Its not just Sony these hackers are after its everyone….nintendo is next…..

  54. gloopy says:

    you people are all stupid, i have inside information on this and what sony are doing is illegal. Paying hackers to hack their own network then soon they will be charging ps3 users to use their psn and using that as an excuse .

    So all ps3 hope you look forward to paying for another shoddy service :0

  55. TSGDYSON1 says:

    I agree with you on that, people need to be patient. I have Xbox and PS3, due to my friends and are located all over the world, some like or dislike one or the other, so I have both. I hope PSN comes back stronger and more user friendly like Xbox’s party system and joining your friends in games, This should be added as well, when you’re a party you cab watch the game your party members are playing, say like when your are in tournement mode. Take care TSGDYSON1 (PS3/Xbox)

  56. tony says:

    it will be up by tuesday

  57. tony says:

    i cant wait for the new map packs for black ops

  58. Ryan says:

    I truly hope that sony can recover financially from this situation, and can continue to provide us with free online gaming, as this is one of the ps3′s main selling points. Sony, good luck with the lawsuit :)

  59. dax says:

    you guys whinning abt sony! you should be grateful that you have free online access since sony doesnt charge you a dime for it. also for the cry babies out there whose lives depend on online gaming, go fuck yourselves!

  60. Charles-Manson says:

    To everyone that’s talking about lawsuites, leave alone Sony, get a job and make money honestly o put your ass on sale F%#@$%$ wankles lazies useless. Whith the money that you can get from Sony get an ATARI; Loosers. Sony lo mejor.

  61. Charles-Manson says:

    Sorry WANKERS

  62. Revi says:

    People are way to dependent on online gaming these days. I honestly don’t care when it comes back up. Sure I would have liked to play MK online, but in the meantime I’m working on trophy’s. Other than that I have a life and a job, I don’t need the PSN to make my life an absolute joy. Read, go for a walk, or for those of you who are really tense, get a massage. At least Netflix is still up.

  63. Mr Guy says:

    Xbox sucks always will. I am sticking to one player games for now. Its good they arent bringing the network back online till its more secure.

  64. Kyuzzo says:

    Remember when the Tsunami back in Japan was all over the news? And the civil war in Libya before that? Now there’s a huge tornado run in Alabama. Over 200 dead, my best friend’s mom may be one of them. And this is something more important for most people? Might as well call myself Nero and start playing the fiddle.

    There is only one way to control this situation….STOP…DROP…AND ROLL….

  66. scanterbury007 says:

    Ive been with playstation since the beginning, and have bought and played almost all there games. yes they should have let us know as soon as it happened, however anybody that used there credit cards is pretty stupid and lazy! there are stores all over that you can buy a psn card and you would not put your credit on the line. prepaid cards with limits, hmmm why didn’t i think of that, [O I DID] so go outside and get a little excercise, AS FOR YOU A^&%&% THAT HACKED THE SYSTEM KISS MY A%$#%@^@#%%%, I’ll wait for psn to come back on line, don’t get me wrong people i would love to able to go home and play. {IN TIME}

  67. Jhakustun says:

    Shit, i aint got shit in my account so hackers ur welcome, take all my money or put more in. who gives a crap wot is best or not, it all comes down to consumer choice. if u buy an xbox good on u, if u buy a ps3 ur awesome and when networks breakdown cuz of hackers. sit and wait cuz all this talking aint shit.

    Guys…. Its nearly summer…. Enjoy the fresh air outside…. Just chillax for a couple more days you’ll be able to play online… Just chill out

  69. xxZardosxx says:

    I agree with Ace.I have Thousands of dollars invested in Xbox eq we have gone through 3 machines and still goying.Playstation Network is FREEE.So stop bitching at sony and direct your anger at the real problem
    THE HACKERS they did this to all of us not SONY.
    How sad are we when a game can affect our lives to this extnt we all need to get out and get a life

  73. the hacker says:

    i feel like these hackers are not even in it for the use of peoples info, and its more of a principle level. if the letter in the link below is true, they’re pist at sony. this is only an assumption so dont have a titty attack

  74. Vince says:

    Not selling mine. May go watch a 3d blu ray movie though, or watch my netflix which still works, knowing if someone hacked my creditcard, I’m liable for zero, nil, nada, nothing. Use to have an xbox and use to pay for on-line access, will take having to wait a couple a weeks over the repair anytime.

    i Dont like PSN BEEN Hacked

  76. JAY ROC says:

    FIRST THING I LOVE SONY EVERYTHING.EVERYTHING THAT IS GOING ON RIGHT NOW IS THEIR FAULT THEY PISS OFF A ALOT OF HACKER WHICH THEY SHOULDN’T HAVE.THEY F*&K US OVER WHEN THEY DID AWAY WITH INSTALLING ANOTHER O.S ON THE PS3 THEY F*^K US OVER WHEN THEY DID AWAY WITH BACKWARD CAPABILITY.SONY GIVETH AND THAN TAKES AWAY.SO IF YOU ASK ME ITS THEIR OWN FAULT.BUT I ANIT MAD AT THEM I ANIT GOT NOTHIN BUT LOVE FOR THEM.THEY WILL SOON FIX THIS PROBLEM;BUT FOR NOW I’LL PLAY MY GAMES OFF LINE AND INSTALL THE JAILBREAK SOFTWARE TO THE PS3.IT IS WHAT IT IS PEOPLE.

  77. Sean says:

    I agree with people that if you put your information out there, you are taking the risk. Playstation network is free to use , and will continue to use it, lots of companies get hacked, that’s what hackers do! And the companies get better in protecting us on line , well the hackers get better.

  78. Homerr says:

    Alright, let me just start by saying, To all “Crack-Box Addicts”… The X-box network will be next, You will sell your Playstation, go out spend a couple hundred on a junk-Box, and then PSN will come back up, Junk-Box Live will get hacked, and you will lose out on the money you wasted to get a Junk-Box Live account, and We, the people who support Sony, even through this bullshit, will laugh at you very much, as you moan and groan and bitch and complain that you miss your Playstation, and you’re all pissed off and disgusted with the Junk-Box Live network,and how it was such a waste of money… And so I say, SUCK IT UP BITCHS.

    Secondly, if anyone in here dies from Aids, well you’re just a fuckin’ dumbass, should’ve watched where ya stuck ya shit…

    Thirdly, Y’all are startin’ to piss me the fuck off with ya gay ass commenting/Bitchin’ about This whole Credit Card/Id Theft bullshit, Should’ve though about that before you just put ya shit on an online gaming network to buy games/accessories to games,Even your Credit Card company will laugh at you if your Cards get maxed through the fuckin’ roof cause ya shit got jacked off a Gaming network, as will I, cause I’m laughin’ right now at the thought of it happening. None of my information is on PSN, nor will it ever be, I’ve got half a brain I was born with. Think things through, and what could happen as a result of just entering your shit to buy shit, sometimes Anans get ya shit, and laugh at you when they go on a shopping spree, that is all.
    Oh PS, Sony, Get ya shit together and get this network back up before these guys all go ape shit and hang themselves.

    many of you people writing here are mad about the outage, some of you probably havent put ur details on ur console, your just moaning about the outage, but to be fair your going to have to wait because the people who did put there details need to sorted first, they are the ones who may have there money stolen sometime, so they must be prioritized, if noone payed anything using there card on the playstation network then this wouldnt of been an issue. the fact that playstation actually made those network card things is because of people who may be worried about putting details in. To be brutally honest the playstaion network shouldnt of had a facility where people can just put the deatils in once and forget about, users dont know where this info is being stored, so the best option would of been those cards. Now im a xbox owner and im very concerned about xbox live now, I dont know why i prefer the xbox i just do (personal prefernce). Any ways if hackers have managed to get into ps3 where many users actually dont buy with their cards, then what if it happened to xbox. Nearly everyone who owns an xbox would have at some point put there details in, and if hackers got into there then it would be a much worser problem. Im seriously considering switching from xbox to ps3 now despite the issues, because i dont have to pay, yes i might wants some dlc once in a while but itll be less frequent and its just a one off fee = less risk of fraud, and to be honest a quite large percentage of console owners are kids, who dont have any credit cards or what ever, so there parents would have to use theirs, which can detor them from xbox because of the hassle of payment

    Will we lose all of our downloads because I think I have spent over $400 on downloadable items such as maps, clothing, star player, lbp, madden, COD, and many other games, I have 41 games and have about 65% of the downloadables for each of them I DONT WANT TO LOSE THEM!!!!

    STFU all you idiots that keep saying PSHome is free.

    Maybe we don’t pay directly for it, but there are advertisers that pay SONY to jam ads up our asses, like Red Bull….it’s like me buying you a movie ticket….it’s not actually free…..do you think they’d pay big bucks for that service if we weren’t there?….NO

    So look at the big picture, dumbasses.

    It ain’t free…..

    (an I bet advertisers are also freaking out.)

    I dont give a damm if Playstation network is down for the rest of this year. I aint ever switching to Xbox because it sucks!!! As soon as you by a Xbox the RED RING of death will get you so whats the point? Plus you have to pay to play online whats the point in that? Xbox is a total rip off and they will never under any circumstance get my money!!!!

  83. OldManJenkins says:

    ya know maybe i do pay $60 a year for Xbox live, but if that’s all it costs a year I’m cool with that, giving back to the people giving me a good gaming experience and I can say I’ve never had my Xbox live down like this so called “Amazing” PSN, I had playstation a while back for a week then sold it because I didn’t like it, to me its a blu-ray player and a web server nothing more, sure i envy it for having little big planet and maybe kill zone but other than that I’ve enjoyed my Xbox better, oh and Modern warfare sucks anyways with all COD games, and maybe I am a bit of a fan boy, probably what I’ll be called but when your calling me it at least ill be chilling online playing games online with my friends, while you all sit at home waiting for your so called “Free” PSN that will probably get hacked again sooner or later
