As many of you now Playstation network has been down for the past 24 hour in a recent statemen playstaions european blog had stated that it was a possiablity of "attacks on the network" then later said it would be a day or two before the server comes back up as you may remeber or have a group of hackers who call themselfs anonymous declared war on scea due to the legal battle between SCEA and george hotz after the case was settled though it was presumed that the war was off but last night on a facebook account named anonymous had this on its wall Take a break from online gaming for a while.....it will help your skills, your health, and your emotional levels, which by the way are a bit out of order if they are being shackled by the PSN being down. We have no qualms about our actions, even though it may affect fellow anonymous or supporters... we hope they understand the bigger picture."- from G4tvs feedback artical

is it possiable that anonymous is attacking Playstation network or is it something else like possabily a error is sonys server and useing anonymous to cover it up but then again what would be the point and again on twitter PlaystationEU posted that their are no new updates to the situation what could it mean what are your thoughts on this? -some information is from G4tvs feed back article if you want to read more about it go to this link http://www.g4tv.com/thefeed/blog/post/712082/did-anonymous-take-down-the-playstation-network UPDATE:PlaystationEU and sony have anounce that their qriocity and playstation network have been suspended and ae working around the clock to bring them both back online apparently they are re-buliding their their system to futer strengthen the network and that it is worth the time necessary to provide the system with security the question still stands does anonymous have anything to do with this?

It seems very odd that Sony would perform maintenance on a three day weekend after three major titles were released.

A lot of networks have been attacked. There was one on the Northern Virginia data center of Amazon.

I dont think it was Anon since there are no scientology or whatnot links.

It wouldn't be so bad if they would at least say or give some sort of time when the PSN might come back online. I personally don't care whose fault it is, I just want it back up and running. Again, not a big deal, but I had been off of it for about 10 days and just got back on Tuesday and it went out wednesday night, so it sucks.

Anonymous has claimed no involvement. Their attack a few weeks ago was due to court action against the homebrew guy, which was settled out of court. When it was over, they were done. I believe Sony said they were just reworking their structure completely to make things more secure. It's a smart thing to do, but seriously, pick a better time

When exactly would be a better time?

There is no good time for a network to go down. So they have to just do it.

A better time would be when there weren't AAA titles being released the week it went down. A better time would be on a Monday or Tuesday, not a three day weekend.

Yeah, the week when 3 A list titles with big multiplayer functions come out is hardly the time to do major maintenance

Xbox Exclusive: Actually decent online. Then again I guess if PS3 users don't want to pay to improve their online, they deserve every bit of this.

I wouldn't really care if it wasn't in the week I get my fucking copy of MK. I'm so pissed I can't play online. It was actually really fun.

Stupid little kids trying to prove a point by hacking ..

That's like saying everyone who bought an X-Box 360 deserves the red ring of death. Don't be a dickhead, shut your mouth.

XBOX Live has been hacked many times over. Just that fact alone proves Microsoft online security is just as poor, if not worse than Sony's.

The reason why many users may not think so is because Sony's issue with PSN breaching could of revealed personal information which is an issue much more severe than compared to many of the previous hackings on XBOX Live...
...but judging by the tone of your reply, you could be just an unwelcoming XBOX fanboy.

So word has it, thats psn won't be back up until the end of the month, May 31st to be exactly.

It wouldn't be so bad, but I've played all I can offline with MK and all my other games and before anyone saids anything, I do have a life outside my ps3, I am just talking about when I get on it.


But I don't get that much joy of beating the computer in NHL11 or Madden or in MK for that matter. Lately I have only used my PS3 to watch Netflix on my tv.
I'm also not into trophies and could care less about getting them.

My point is. It just SUCKSSSS to wait until then to get back to playing hockey online, and by then the post season might be over with which would really suck cause my team(TB) is in the playoffs and I love talking about it with my friends on NHL11 on the psn.

Anyways, who knows if they(sony) will even make that date on having psn back up and running. And I know the new article saids, fully running by then, which could mean they could add playing online before that, but really they'll probably just wait until the end of the month. I'm actually really upset that I can't download the new episode to the back to the future game on psn.

The free games will probably be crap though. And PSPlus is really nothing to brag about. it was good at first, but now the slow down the updates as much as they can
