Well you get what you pay for and the PSN is free so im suprised this dosen't happen more often.
Anonymous or not, I'm sure someone, somewhere is doing it for the LOLZ.
My attitude, too. The reason I have a PS3 is because I refuse to pay for online gaming. Xbox Live went down all the time in the early days of 360, and that shit cost money. With the way some people are reacting, if I were Sony, I'd threaten to shut down the PSN permanently. Seriously, Sony doesn't owe anyone anything.Nuclear Pancake said:
Well I'm pretty sure I recall them specifically saying they weren't going to shut down PSN, a few weeks ago. So I'm happy with thinking it wasn't them. But yeah, they have no official spokespeople or goals or anything, so it's pointless to argue whether it was anon or not ... I mean technically speaking, if it was an external attack and we don't know who did it, by definition it was done by anonymous 
Also, Captcha what the fuck is this.

Exactly. Unless one of them left a present sitting on the PSN for unknown reasons and Sony found out about and are purging their system then Anonymous is not related to this at all.Vanbael said:
The whole point of activism is to say "We did this because of such and such a reason". Anonymous did that with the Hotz message a few weeks ago and moved on. Attacking a second time is pointless because everyone knows the story now and things have cooled down besides.
Reading between the lines I feel there is something in the Network the engineers don't like, and they took the decision to deal with it straight away and take the flak for it now rather than take any chances security wise. Maybe they thought or hoped it would be a quick job and then realized that it would be more time consuming than they originally thought. Maybe the reason they won't give us any more information is that it is a highly technical issue with an unpredictable time frame. The fact they say how their top priority is to make us all happy with entertainment blah blah suggests that all our personal data is secure.
All in all annoying, but not worrying. The only concern is that if they haven't fixed it by Sunday evening then will they fix it by the following Sunday?
I'm now going to refrain from name calling and calling you many different obscene words you deserve to be called.Chubbs99 said:
And saying the thing about flames doesn't protect you at all. You're trying to say "no offense but..." and let me say, that doesn't work.
Onto your post though, you're saying that because we didn't participate in a boycott we didn't support we should be punished? I in no way shape or form supproted what Hotz or Anon was doing in the first place. But me, the paying consumer who is apparently the victim of Sony is now to be made a victim by Anon if you're right? Isn't that what Anon is against? Forcing people to do things? Giving power to people? Not taking it away.
Unless of course hey, Anon was in the minority this time and nobody cared what they did. Then it's perfectly right for them to deny service to millions of people worldwide for something they expect? Meanwhile according to you, they are 100% in the right.
On every single level everything you said is wrong. Wrong. Wrong. Wrong. Wrong.
I try to avoid getting riled up by trolls but the sheer idiocy of that post made my blood boil. Mission accomplished troll.
It may or may not have been anonymous, but that's NO reason at all for me to take ANYTHING they say seriously. A troll is a troll, no matter how smart he/she seems to be. Anonymous CANNOT and SHOULD NOT be taken seriously at all. It simply gives them credibility that they don't deserve in the slightest. Come on people! They do everything "for the lulz" for Christ's sake! The shit they do to simply get a rise out of people would make 4-Chan blush. And that's an accomplishment in trollhood.
Jezus, it's not as if Sony is pointing its finger at Anonymous. I'm getting the feeling that everyone is just bashing on Sony because it's fun. If Xbox Live would suffer a similar outage, you'd all be hating on Microsoft. Same for the Wii. Well, not that everyone uses the online feature of the blasted thing, but still. You get my point.
Sony is busy dealing with it and it seems they got it under control. It'll be back on its feet soon.
So guys, please. Take a chill pill. Relax. Go outside and get some fresh air. And please think twice before posting something.
Anyway, trolls gonna troll and haters gonna hate, I suppose.

If they did it, they are idiots, the "supports" are becoming few and far between and diminishing over a period of stupid actions taken by the group.
If Sony full on admits that it was their screw up as opposed to waffling about saying how it COULD have been a third party, I'd be impressed.
This denial is stupid, because anyone can be or might be a member of Anonymous and is not required to share information with anyone else. They can't deny doing something, ever. Because they might be doing it without that specific "spokesperson" knowing.
This is one of the reasons why the whole idea of Anonymous is both brilliant and mind-numbingly stupid.

I was going to write a rather well thought out post on how Sony has fugged things up in the past numerous times and blamed it on the users, that the users "was doing it wrong", that the users were "doing it for the lulz", or just that the users were just plain stupid not to recognize the greatness that Sony is. But then I saw that the fan bois were out in force being the retards only fan bois can be, and knowing that well thought out arguments fall on deaf ears regardless how eloquently they are presented, so fuggit.
