Playstation Network still down.....
« on: April 25, 2011, 05:01:32 pm »
..... after 5 Days!!! :surprised: :surprised:

I don't know about you but anyone who can stump a building full of Japanese geeks for 5 days needs to be given a job! :grin:

Sooo glad i don't play any games online over PSN. They are not very forthcoming with any information either.

I know - it's a complete PITA. The only consolation is the fact that I really don't need distractions at the moment, so it's helping me to focus. But if it remains down after the next bank holiday, there will be hell to pay!

The GTI isn't just a machine. It's very much a living, breathing thing.

Don't know where I read/heard but apparently they are having to rebuild the system completely!

I imagine its quite a large server!

I imagine some data will be lost too?

According to Sony it's the work of "outside" interference.

The group "Anonymous" have denied responsibility as they have tried to hack it before.

Nobody has come forward and said it was them and usually they like to tell everyone how good they are.

It could be just a massive failure.

But then again usually the people hacking are also the people playing so probably don't want to piss their mates off!

Apparently it's because of an "intrusion" that Sony voluntarily pulled down the network and still have not got it up  :chicken: rumours abound of user data being stolen but nothing confirmed.
