Hackers caused PSN to shutdown, but I'm really mad that it has taken Sony, a multi trillion dollar company, 3 (going on 4) DAYS to take care of the problem. That's a fail

From what I've heard (rumors!!!),is that it's more of a security update than a gaming update. The gaming update might be closer to mid-may.

Yeah, Finally they said it's a very high possibility that it will be on on, May 3rd so cross your fingers! But, When it does come on there's a 90% chance it will crash again because of all the people rushing to get online and there will be so many people on at one time that it will crash ha ha, yeah I can't wait to play Nazi zombies :/ its boring on single player

Well all PSN users now get 30 free of PSN+. Its on a article on IGN. Pretty good compensation I would say.

By the way, people who already have PSN+ get an extra 30 days free, just so you dont think your hard done by.

Many people are saying that is was many hackers but it was really just one. One person crashed the whole network. I love PS3 and I own stock in Sony but face it, when it comes to security Xbox has us beat. I have 5 different accounts on PS3 because its FREE. When everyone who owns a PS3 makes and account thats one thing, but when about 2/3 of them have more than one account its hard to keep track. Also, I have fake names, email addresses, home addresses, etc. so unless they look at my IP address they won't know my location. Xbox Live is a paid account. Not many people on Xbox make a new account or pay to change they're name. Less users, more control to lock unruly users accounts and the paper trails of the users money makes it much more difficult for hackers to kill the system. Graphix and all that is a different story and people are blinded by that. I see the same arguments about PS3 and Xbox all the time. Bring the facts to the table.

I heard about that. That is why you don't go free. pay the buck to get the paid account. And yes X Box 360 is a lot better. And well more safe and your information is well protected. I feel really bad about the people that got hacked and so on.

playstation + is a thing you can buy online that gets you premium downloads. you can get free games, you can get full games that are downloadable at less then full price. its the sort of thing that if you have enough money to buy games all the time, get it so they dont cost as much. idk i dont have it so dont take my word for it

well that makes sense.
and we get this around may 3rd right? and if it only lasts a month, we might just miss the black ops dlc
and basicly what there doing is puting everything on the playstation store on discont right?

Do you own a PSP that has the network on it? A blue ray player of theirs might have you make an account, an TV that streams Netflix and other internet things?
