PSN Down Worldwide; Is Anonymous to Blame?

[stabnex]

Doesn't bother me one bit if Anon does continue attacks against Sony, can't say they don't deserve it. Also I don't care one way or the other about PSN down, it's just another error message out of the hundreds my many PS3's have given me over the years. And it still didn't stop me from accessing my Netflix on it.

I urninate, spit, and fart on sony, thank god Im a pc gamer. Now the best way to attack sony unfortunatly is to keep pissing of customers into leaving thier PS3.

Well, this just goes to show you that free things never work as well as things you pay for.

In that case, let's start paying for air, must be better then. *Gets a can of Perri-Air*

Just fix it! Me and my amigo want to play Portal 2 co-op!

 

[HellspawnCandy]

It sucks, I just got my PSP and wanting to play FF7. Sony claims I have to wait a day or two until they'll replace the hamsters powering PSN....5 minutes being a Sony customer and I already get screwed over.

 

[LuckyClover95]

Maybe they're just looking for someone to blame because their shoddy service went down

Easier to blame others than yourself.

I've never experienced problems with PSN ever before and I've had my PS3 a while... it ain't no shoddy service

This is annoying. Who the hell is Anonymous and why do they hate gamers?

Not nearly the same. You're the one who dropped money on a console with free online, and you should expect lower quality out of it, as it is free. You shouldn't be complaining because it's free. They didn't have to make it free, but they did. And as far as I recall, when they were thinking about making it not free, you all complained. So you decided then that free was more important. You get what you pay for.

In some countries with free healthcare It's a pretty damn good deal because you're actually paying for it by other means like in general tax rates that don't reflect personal use. So they don't care how much/often everyone uses it provided it's covered by other services the collective uses I.E. purchases of Games/PSN themes/Avatars/rentals/etc. Saying someone never paid a penny into PSN is only true in the direct since but if you never in your life buy a single Sony sold product then yes you've never payed a one red cent towards Playstation Network(Though watching ads for free on their sites generates income for them as well.)

So yeah never doing any of that above? You still get a right to complain it's a free country with a freedom of speech. However is it fair for someone to complain when they've never aided them or placed there to judge them? No, not really.

Well, this just goes to show you that free things never work as well as things you pay for.

EDIT: And before someone complains because I'm insulting PSN, just remember, you guys always rub it in Xbox user's faces that your service is free and ours is not. I'm just reminding you that free =/= good, functional or unlikely for this to happen. /someonewhoboughtPortal2forPC

EDIT 2: Also, let's just point out the fact that you're getting angry over a service they provide for free. If someone were to give you free food and it wasn't that good, would you complain? If not, why would you complain about this? It's free. They're giving it to you. They don't have to make it free, they could charge you money. So just be glad it's free.

I wouldnt just attribute a global failure to a couple servers missing thier regular maintenance. Just saying.

OT: Waited some 3 months to enjoy the co-op. I think i can wait another few days. Im very good at waiting.

I'm not saying that. I'm just saying, it's free. You get what you paid for, and guess what? You don't complain about free things. It's just a fact of life.

And where did i complain about this free service that i rarely use? If that really is all youre saying you should stop hiding your obvious dissentment behind those 'you get what you paid for' and 'dont complain about something you get for free' excuses.

I wasn't aiming that at you. I was just saying, in general, that people shouldn't complain about something they get for free. If you (and I'm using You in a general sense, not you as in the guy I'm quoting) had someone who worked for hours to provide you with a free meal, and it wasn't that good, would you throw it across the room and yell at him "THIS IS A PIECE OF SHIT! I DEMAND BETTER SERVICE!"?

Well no i wouldnt, if i worked for several hours for a meal i would be hungry first. Though, i wouldnt be amused if that meal was a turd sandwich.

Shit is not food. You cannot compare shit to food. If someone gave you shit as food, they would be an asshole. This is not that. This is they do their best to give you a free service, but it's fucking free, so they don't have as much money to spend on it, so it's a bit crappy.

Really at this point im wondering if youre not just an XBL eletist. Or even if you actually own a PS3.

Also that turd sandwich thing was a joke, i have no idea why you took that seriously.

I really hope not (*EDIT*:that Anonymous is the cause of the downed PSN service). I just got Medal of Honor in the mail today, and I want to try its Multiplayer.

Sony called the recent attacks on Sony's sites and the PSN a mild irritation that their techies could easily handle

a week later and anonymous can suddenly bring down the entire Sony network for days.

Bullshit. Sony is just scapegoating Anon. Use your brains, Escapist.

You do realize sony never said anything about anon or any other group they said they are having an outage and that they have not ruled out 3rd party interference. In other words they are working on tracking down the problem and do not know what is causing it at this time. It would be the original poster and many others who jumped the bandwagon and put it to anon.

Positives of PSN Being down:
+ I don't really need the PSN right now, I bought two games that need playing.
+ PSN is free, so it's not like I'm being charged when I'm not using it.
+ One of my games I bought is Batman: Arkham Asylum, and if Batman doesn't need the internet, I certainly don't....

Negatives:
-...That is if I want to play the Joker Levels, I need PSN.
- I just hope it gets back up before L.A. Noire Gets here.
- I like the convenient thought of having the online available.

If Anonymous is behind it, I am a little sad, but simultaneously, They did shut up those WBC creeps for a brief time, and that's not so bad.

I'm less angry then I am surprised, but It's not like my life is focused on it, so I'll be cool, I guess.

If it is anonymous i hope they realize that what they are doing is not gonna help them at all but more likely piss off ALL the people who use PSN and then they would most likely go against them. And i think the PSN has bigger numbers then 3900 in that lame boycott.

they are gonna feel the wrath of the PSN gamers TO ARMS MY COMRADES
