PlayStation Network Delayed???
« on: May 08, 2011, 09:30:44 AM »


In a post on Sony's own news blog, Patrick Seybold (senior director of communications and social media) announced on the blog that "We are still preforming tests on the new securities of the PSN Network (PlayStation Network) and will not be able to meet the originally specified time frame".

He also went on to say that this delay is also due to the rumors spreading around the Internet of another planned hacker attack on an unspecified Sony online website. And that in order to protect the rest of their online customers they are "diverting" their attention from the rebuilding of the PSN to keep closer tabs on any other breaches of security.

So for those of you who were hoping that the PSN Network would be up in the near future, looks like you'll be waiting a bit longer. But until then we just have to hope that the hackers responsible for this attack don't cause any more damage then they already have.

Once again i guess only time will tell...

yeah it sucks that they keep going at sony.


i bet the guy who made the decision to spend money to sue geohot instead of spend it to beef up security across the entire psn and consoles is regretting the decision a lot.

i also wonder if if another company like Microsoft were to sue a hacker for breaching there consoles security if the courts would entertain them as much as they did sony out of fear of another catastrophic security breach on that company leading to the compromising of so many user details.

i am not responsible for what i do or my advice

i never though of it that way... Do you think that the people who hacked them did so in spite of the fact that Sony sued GeoHot?

And it also brings back the question... Did Sony deserve to get hacked like that? (may have been on of their employee's, reminds me of an old movie about a guy who hacks his employer's server to have them beef up security to prevent an actual attack on the site)

So you got to wonder... maybe this was the same thing, but gone bad?

i have had 3 360 and 2 ps3. both are great, the ps3 itself seems like a more solid product. but the politics behind sony are merky. lol but microsoft  has had great costumer service! they replaced my xbox twice. but again i go the dreaded RROD. But since i also watch movies and blueray on my HDTV, the ps3 seems more of a logical. its all up to choice lol


i dont thinks its a good idea to start up the "ftw" statements lol
