Someone sabotaged them.

They clearly need to make improvements to security on all fronts after this, and that will obviously take some time. It won't just be a 2 day layover and then a "Well, that was neat" sort of speech.

I mean more on a PR front. They handled it like crap. But the truth is, it's a terrible situation to be in, and there's not a lot of good that can be said about it. So maybe they just figure they're safer keeping their mouths shut.

Now I really think this is taking too long. When the system comes back up online it better be flawless and extremely monitored. There's rumors Anonymous will try to hack it once again as soon as it comes back up.

And non-update update that it will be a few more days.

I just want to be able to play Portal on my PC, the way it was meant to be played. Not to mention I cant play co-op whatsoever. There isnt a workaround for the PC version that comes with the PS3 version being tied to the PSN account, is there?

Blix · 05-14-2011, 11:18 PM

Update! New Firmware 3.61. Change of password mandatory and information on how the process of bringing the PS3 back up will be done.

*Second update* Check your state. If it's green then it has PSN.

So it's up. The PSN store is till not up, I think everything else is. So I haven't been able to get every single freebie that will be mine with that plus month. I'm getting eager to get my hard-waited freebies. XD

What type of freebies?

Also, I'm totally okay with the fact they were only down for a month. As long as they keep the online to being free. I think it would be a little selfish and spoiled for anyone to bitch and complain towards Sony about not having their online up fast enough when they're not paying for it. I'd gladly take 11 free months of online, and not have it for 1 month every year rather than paying to be able to play every month.

Someone said it best in joystiq.com: "I don't feel entitled to anything from Sony but I think it'd be nice if they gave us something for our patience" more or less. And some of the things (I think PS3 Themes) said they were free for the PSN Plus subscribers. I'll see all the things that are free for plus users and grab them. The fact that the store is the only thing still left down makes me think they're checking all that out to not give away a horrendous amount of freebies, which is fine with me.

Sony isn't giving this stuff away because people were patience, they are giving it away because they need the good will.

Honestly, most people, are pissed about the security breach, which got picked up by a ton of major news networks and sites. This is a way to get people back to using their service and serves as a free ad for PSN +

Jason1 · 05-15-2011, 11:01 PM

Gah finally! Downloading update now.

Well, good will, loyalty, patience... in the end, they're just trying to do something so that their customers feel better. And what I quoted was from memory, I can't be bothered to look for that thing since it's weeks old. I just wanted to express that you can't really feel entitled to anything, specially since the service is free. The only thing they owed people was an apology.

Is the PS Store up yet so we can claim these games? It is not up for me. I just wanted to know if it'll go up in some areas first or if it's still not restored.

Ginkasa · 05-19-2011, 12:20 AM

I imagine the PS Store is still down while they figure the logistics of everyone downloading these games. I also imagine their trying to ascertain what will be available during this free PS+ period.
