PSN Still Not Back; Still No ETA from Sony

" further testing of the incredibly complex system."

No doubt it's complex enough (and probably poorly documented) so that nobody really knows what it does and what to look for...

Who knows maybe some of them have even come in contact with sunlight![/citation]

Or girls.

[citation][nom]Anomalyx[/nom]They keep trying to rub in that it's an "incredibly complex system". Sounds to me like it just wasn't built very cleanly. A major mark of a good developer is that his code is understandable and documented. Apparently they lacked good developers when building PSN.[/citation]

And that's the problem you face when you outsource all your work to the lowest bidder.

So anything complex is simply poorly engineered?

gawd i can't wait until this happens to steam and other cloud services.
this is why multiplayer LAN should be kept included instead of restricting to internet only multiplayer.
atleast with pc's you can hack stuff to make it do what ever you want.

That is a sick thought.

This just keeps getting funnier and funnier. Of course I don't have a PS3 or I'd probably be pissed.

I'm so glad I can not really care if the network is back up or not...I have a PS3, but it's essentially always just functioned as a media streamer with only occasional gameplay. I do the vast majority of my gaming on my PC where games belong 😉

i bet a great time to launch a ddos right after it's launch date!
People who want to bug Sony could do that very easily!
Sony has made lots of enemies when combatting homebrew apps for their devices!

Checkind Anandtech, and HardOCP show sony should be up by the end of the month. Hopefully with less FAIL!
