I don't think it is, they said that they would hold off until they found a way to only hurt Sony, not their users.

FOOKz™ · « **Reply #11 on:** April 21, 2011, 09:34:25 PM »

Then its Microsoft. Who else? LOL Nintendo?

Who knows man it could be their own damn fault too; because its Sony.

as much as they say it they still end up hurting the user in the long run

I don't believe this has anything to do with anon. After everyone complained about the network being down, they said they were not going to do these kind of attacks. That an alternative weapon against sony will be used.
It's probably SONY's fault. Their network is crap at best. I like my PS3 but I do not like their network. I do miss xbox live multiplayer but my wallet is enjoying saving money.
If MS lowered the price for live a lil bit , I'd go dig one of my box's out and do an xclamp and be back up live pooping on kids in FPS's.
Side note, since I don't have online multiplayer I don't play my FPS games as much. Which has given me the time to work on my mods. If i had online with the new SOCOM i would probably not be sitting here writing you now because you wouldn't be able to get the controller out of my hand.
So to SONY's network problems- "It is what it is"

1 movie theater ticket costs more than live.. I sure hope you arent seeing any movies. If not having live is saving you money, imagine cutting out trips to the theater lol

yeah if your in the usa there is no need to goto the theatre as you have hulu and netflix

1TONpete · « **Reply #16 on:** April 22, 2011, 06:09:40 AM »

I only go to drive in theaters and that's not often enough.
Also the money is not my only reason for not having live, its more a frustration with the hardware itself.

1TONpete · « **Reply #17 on:** April 22, 2011, 06:34:43 AM »

I remember early SOCOM 1 days SONY network was not bad. I always liked how you had a choice on what room or game you entered. Like if a match was in progress it would let you know before entering and you didn't have to join. It also told what map it was , how many people were playing and how good the signals were. There were a lot of glitches tho. But the glitching was more respectable than now. Most of the time people created glitching rooms and since you always had a choice not to join a room , you didn't get stuck in some craziness. But people glitched mostly for fun not to boost points. There are always exceptions of coarse and people who abuse things. But all in all , it was fun either way. I wish they would give us that choice not to join in progress again. sorry for the double post

whitetop · « **Reply #18 on:** April 22, 2011, 06:49:19 AM »

yeah i remember them den good old day before

happened by spoiled kids wanting this and that on the psn it was really good when kids could not go and buy a ps3 due to the 499 price what great gaming on the ps3 i had then but now all we have a kid fing games up and sales of games a 90% due to kids really

toadzilla · « **Reply #19 on:** April 22, 2011, 09:12:59 AM »

it hopeffully is fixed by tommorow

geraldrubalcava · « **Reply #20 on:** April 22, 2011, 12:51:49 PM »

well overall i have bin a ps3 player for 3 years. i do also own a xbox. both networks are decent. since xbox is more popular it has more players and thus a batter p2p netowrk for most games ie COD. but ps3 is not that bad ether. What i see that is lacking is the porting of games to the ps3. as for netflix, it would not let me use it on the ps3 because i have to log in .

druid · « **Reply #21 on:** April 22, 2011, 10:47:21 PM »

I use netfix on both xbox and PS3 ,set ps3 to log in auto and save password then its fine.
netfix fires right up!

FOOKz™ · « **Reply #22 on:** April 23, 2011, 09:20:10 AM »

can you guys still log on to PSN

RyanF · « **Reply #23 on:** April 23, 2011, 10:08:02 AM »

Im not going to try. if this is a hack from an outside source and they still have controll, they can monitor traffic on your account.

toadzilla · « **Reply #24 on:** April 23, 2011, 10:22:12 AM »

the network is completely shut down they flicked the switch intill they figure out how to fix the exploit
