PSN News: More info

The One With The Nose:

Since 420, PSN has been down, as many of you know. This is due to an outside group hacking the Playstation Network causing Sony to shut down PSN. Many people have been blaming the group "Anonymous" for the hack as part of "Operation Payback", but there is no evidence to support this, and the group has denied the hack was at their hands. There has been no word from Sony as to when PSN will be back online, but it's already been 3 days since PSN was up, and the gamers are getting impatient. Especially with the releases of games such as SOCHUM 4, Mortal Combat, and Portal 2, gamers want PSN back.

If you own a Sony game system and have played it since Wednesday, April 20, you probably noticed that you couldn't sign in to PSN. I had no idea why this was happening until I looked it up today. On April 22, Patrick Seybold wrote on the Official Playstation Blog,

This is the first time I have seen something like this happen in the (around) seven years I have owned Sony systems, and hopefully it will be resolved soon. This shut-down has made for many unhappy gamers. Here are 
some of the Twitter, Facebook, and other social thingies on the internet posts



#Playstation This Playstation Network outage is defining a new level of cyber-disaster.... 48 hours + of no online gaming. Aaaaargh


@whiteburnsred #psn is still down and shows no sign of working anytime soon. #mylifesucks

I personally don't think the hack shut down the Playstation Network instantly, since a friend and I were trying to play online last Friday and couldn't get our PS3s to connect to one another. It's a shame this is happening. This hack isn't hurting Sony, it's hurting the gamers.
