some good info on the psn problem.....

Finally, a beacon of light shines down on the PlayStation Network hacked / credit card fiasco.

Sony has announced that the PlayStation Network and Qriocity services will be coming back online this week. When this week? Sony didn't specify. The restoration of the network will be implemented in phases between regions, so it won't all be back up at once and it was specified which regions will be getting the service back first. Expect a forced system software update once you sign in which will require all users to change their passwords.

The services you should expect to see back will include online game-play functionality for the PS3 and PSN, access to Qriocity, access to account management, access to un-expired movie rentals, PlayStation Home (THANK GOD), friends list and chat functions. The PlayStation Store, however, will still be down and is (vaguely) scheduled to be back sometime "this month."

To make up for the downtime, Sony will be offering a complimentary "Welcome Back" appreciation program for all PlayStation Network and Qriocity users. Sony will be giving out "selected PlayStation entertainment content for free download," 30 days free membership to PlayStation Plus for new and current PS Plus subscribers and 30 days free service to Qriocity subscribers. The "Welcome Back" offerings will be "rolled out over the coming weeks."

As for any potential credit card thefts, Sony will provide users with complimentary assistance to enroll in identity theft protection services. Still, I'd recommend you all to cancel/update your cards if you haven't done so already.

No problem Twisted

[twistedblister]

Cool. What's sad is for me this really made no.difference. i am fighting with my service provider and my lag just won't get any better.


To me this seems like retaliation from the dual boot thing

[twistedblister]

still out as of 6:19 CST

[legendary-pirate]

Yeah I kind of figured that they would not meet there released deadline for when they would have PSN back up.
I think on Friday all they did was start restoring the service

The reason why PSN won't be up this weekend:

Sony's latest update:
http://www.bbc.co.uk/go/rss/int/news/-/news/

Apparently more hackers said they were going to attack Sony's website a few days ago. I doubt they would be able to go through with it now - idk what website they are talking about. Their product website? I don't get it

[fishki]

It is really fkn sad that this site is more secure than Play Station is. At least your info here is encrypted. Sony was using plain text to store sensitive info.

[DWOMT]

Anyone who attempts to hack Sony now is in for a world of pain. Ever since the first hacking Sony is now working with the FBI and Homeland Security to track down who did it. To hack them now would be suicide.

break down on the home page

im getting tired of this
