So for Mother's Day I went to Best Buy and purchased the PSP Go my wife has wanted for years. So, uh, what do I do now?
 
Xbox is shit I can`t believe people would actually contemplate trading in a superior console for junk just because PSN is down for a little wail, go then, go to xbox you clowns.
Yes its frustrating but the same thing has happen to xbox and will happen again and will probably happen to PS3 again but blaming Sony and stating that PS3 is rubbish is wrong iv been play PS3 online the day it came out in Australia and this is the only problem iv come across, In 4 years for PSN to work prefect and then a problem i don`t think its to. And it will be back don`t get your undies in a swivet and stop talking shit like xbox is better, u are all junkies coming down for a high and expeiancing withdrawal symptoms.
 
People get hacked all the time, and I'm sure more big companies like sony get hacked more than they would like thier customers to know. Point is, it's all the hacker's fault. It's either mit or some other technical school's students having fun at the end of the year just because they can or hackers in some other country to get our information. The thing that pisses me off is, why ruin it for everyone else who wants to play, know what I mean? Effin hackers
 
xbox is junk who wants to deal with the red ring of death all the time, no blu-ray or hd i mean come on its still running dvds the ps2 ran those and its out of date all ready. but you can still play it online if you want, xbox dosn't even have those servers any more and if they did they'd still want to charge you to play on them. screw halo its the only reason why idiots pay $300 bucks to play it.
 
Look, if you people want to go to Xbox, because you can't play online, be my guest. But I'm sticking with sony here. I got my ps3 in mid 2009, and have been a PSN member sense about 3 days after I got it. The only problem that ever occured was when my first account was stolen. It was because I was gamesharing, so it's my fault. Not Sony's. And for the most part, this whole thing isn't Sony's fault either. Now granted, they didn't have a firewall up for PSN, but it was a very well designed network, so they got a little cocky. They didn't expect this to happen, and when it did, they just weren't ready. And one more thing, "Anonymous" is planning on hacking all the major government websites, and all the gaming networks. (So XBL and Steam are also in danger.) They've already hacked Visa, Pay Pal and several other corporations like that. Guys, this is more serious than we thought it was. The're actually in the middle east right now, fighting along side the US, the French and the UK. Believe it or not, they're the good guys. This is bigger than just PSN. These guys have some serious power. They're growing in number daily, and have the potential to be saviors, or destoyers. When they said "We are legion, expect us." I immediately dismissed it as bullshit, but this is serious. Just be ready for them. There's no telling what they plan to do.
 
at the min iam havin to play my xbox but the miniute it comes back online i will be happy again it seems like xbox are starting to have wierd stuff happening like we did b4 they switched us off and to all the nut cases who are considering selling or swopping there ps3 to xbox you should go see a shrink only stupid people would do summin like that
 
I dont care about PSN being down, although I am a playstation plus user and also DCUO player, I have been charged for both subscriptions while the network is down at the end of April.
I contacted Sony and they replied "Just log in to you account and cancel it or remove the credit card from your account."
I responded in asking how to do that since the network is down both on ps3.com and the console and that I am very frustrated they are still taking my money for something they know is offline, I have not had a response since.....
I was a ps3 user since day one and have always loved playing it but this event has really opened up my eyes to how unprofessional and full of S#*! Sony really are with their lies and whole handling of the situation.
 
I'd like to join in with the people saying "deal with it". Another few weeks of SP only won't kill you.

I just feel very bad for Sony. They got hit by a bunch of rogue "hackers", and then when they were down they got kicked in the groin...
 
Ya know, PSN being down believe it or not is a good thing for all of us gamers... We all needed a break.. Take time to harness our skills in other things in life. I have had more fun with my kids latly than I have in a long time. When we all head out the door and you get smacked in the head and ya wonder what it is..... it's simple. thats our friend the Sun.
 
This is the beauty with PCs. Consoles will always have such risks regardless of the platform. Even Xbox is exposed to complete server shutdown, in which case no multiplayer games will be available on it. Meanwhile, PC multiplayer servers run independent from each other so if a server needs to shutdown, no worries we just play another PC MP.
 
Xbox Slim is so awesome. $60.00 a year not month. Which is pretty cheap considering the much better cross game chat, friends lists, being able to play YOUR own music no matter what game your on. And the slim seems to be alot more reliable. PS3 is more expensive so with xbox and a full year of live its the same price. $60 a year isnt alot of money. I mean the hackers that hacked your accounts via ps3 have probably been taking that from you without you knowing. lol. Also who cares if ps3 has blue ray. I want a gaming console. Not a lousy gaming console with non gaming add ons.
 
Are people actually gonna waste 300 dollars on an xbox where there is no free online?!?!?!?!?! I'm actually patient and i'm waiting for the network to come back on. PS3 is way better than xbox and ill tell you why. On the xbox there is no hd or blu-ray, and you have to deal with the red ring of death. On the PS3 there is free online so you don't have to keep on wasting your money every month. It also has hd, and blu-ray. So just be patient, and don't waste your money getting an xbox.
