As long as it's up by the time my precious Twisted Metal comes out, I'll be fine. Though, I would be pissed if it took them that long to get it back up and running.

So this all started when Sony decided to remove a feature from the old PS3. Now they are possibly loosing more money then they would have through piracy if the just didn't test the ire of hackers huh? Hopefully these events will tighten the reigns of Sony and make them realize that if they act like something that they sold to a client still belongs to Sony and the public should be thankful for being able to use it, there will be eventually people who stand up against them.

There's a reason people are now refering to it as the Play Station Notwork.

I'm just glad i've got my DSi and a copy of Pokemon White.

I actually never notice how long the network has been down unless I read some article (like this one) reminding me how long its been. Although, I suppose I'm not holding onto a fresh copy of Portal 2 and waiting every so anxiously to get online and play it.

That being said, I will wait however long it takes so that this doesn't have to happen a second time. And if Sony also includes freebies on their PSN Welcome Back Bus, then I'll be riding the front seat.

Will the Escapist itself at least try not to directly bash Sony, knowing full well a HUGE chunk of your fanbase is made up of PS3 fans? Also, if Sony's network isn't ready it isn't ready. Leave them be, we survived before online gameplay existed.

Honestly, if I could I'd trade in my PS3 to pay for a 3DS right now...

...But since it's my BR player, I've got a few random JRPG's I'm highly anticipating the release of in the future, I've already bought a good number of titles off the PS Store and I can 'wait' for my 3DS, I'm not trading it in...

...Though thank god I have a 360, otherwise I'd wanna shoot myself right now. After all, Graham said it best on this week's checkpoint:

"Good god, can you imagine if Xbox Live went down? Then people might actually care!"

Not sure those were the exact words but you get the idea.

My PSN dedicated brothers, you have my sympathies for the assholes that have decided to lay waste to your online system. No one should be denied multiplayer gaming because of a companies' poor care taking of their system and a group of assholes looking to fuck around and maybe make a profit.

I feel bad for all the players and developers, but I'm wondering who's gonna jump ship before then. I'm assuming anyone who can spare the cash, or was close to doing so already has.

Hmm, I wonder. Will this be a nice *hint*hint*wink*wink* towards developers and publishers to NOT add DRM to a video game.

I hope someone related to Sony reads this.
They should, because this is an incredibly good forum/newssite about anything and everything gaming.

Are you reading this? Great!
Give us Final Fanatasy VII for free and I consider this whole thing a fluke.
Please, I just want to immerse myself in the days of 1997 when I played your opus on my PC with Voodoo II 12 MB GFX card and was still a happy youth!!!!

In turn I will forget about the past month and not badmouth your security to anyone <3
Ah, my type of person!

When I read the headline I thought, oh, well this means that they are gonna say that it won't take THAT long. But apparently not. That's pretty mediocre, good thing I do all my gaming on my PC, my best friend on the other hand is going crazy.

I ok I know how bad the hacking has been but what they should do is just tell the truth as to when ( or if ) they are going to return psn service. I'm not ragging on the company I just want the truth about the service being turned on and if they don't know they should say so.

Still, one hopes the company has some sort of plan in place. The longer this outage rolls on, the more Sony loses face with an increasingly impatient playerbase. Are any of you still anxiously clutching a plush Crash Bandicoot and ticking off the days until you can once again browse the PSN store?
Well no...but i wanna get my gorram DCUO up and runnin' again...

You know what's really pissing me off? The he-said-she-said commentary from Sony. "PSN isn't gonna be back up anytime soon". "We don't know who did it". "Oh, wait, it was Anon." "Oh, never mind. We don't know". "Your info was stolen". "But you already knew that".

COME ON! Just get your act together, Sony! None of these 'announcements' are relevant! Instead of trying to appease customers by releasing a comment about the hack every 5 seconds, just focus ALL of your time on fixing it.

None of these announcements will make me happy until I see one titled "PSN Hack is over/ PSN servers are back up!"

(Yeah, I'm referring to Sony, not any other form of media who publishes the story, by the way).

I know that I'm not anxiously waiting for online play.

I do know that there are others though, that depend on online play. I also know that these people have severely limited patience, which I believe has reached its limits. Sony needs to really shape up. I thought the whole apology meant that they wouldn't be running around like headless chickens and get some form of online play back up. Then slowly, integrate the store with whatever security they think will hold these hackers until 2013~14 (when undoubtedly they'll release PS4) and cross their fingers and hope these hackers will go away and bother Microsoft instead.

It's not looking good, really. I don't know what they're going to offer, but I'm willing to bet a few would have jumped ship after this fiasco. And won't look back.
