    Bored Playstation Network Down For Four Days

    PS3 users have been left despairing as PSN reaches its fourth day out of action.

    With no solid news about how long the network will be out, Sony originally claimed it was down for 'maintenance', but have announced on their Official Blog that they are totally rebuilding the system and 'decided it was worth the time necessary to provide the system with additional security', implying that its down-time may have been the result of some outside help.

    Now being reported as a global problem, the service first went down in the UK on Thursday. Sony have apologised and thanked fans for their patience, but after four days, patience is wearing thin. Users are particularly annoyed about their inability to access multiplayer games and third party paid-for services like Lovefilm.

    "An external intrusion on our system has affected our PlayStation Network and Qriocity services," Sony said, "In order to conduct a thorough investigation and to verify the smooth and secure operation of our network services going forward, we turned off PlayStation Network & Qriocity services on the evening of Wednesday, April 20th. Providing quality entertainment services to our customers and partners is our utmost priority."

    Yikes! It's all a bit like that film Hackers, but without Jonny Lee Miller's fake American accent.

    Brutal. I feel for my brothers from another networK Four days is torture



    The 5$ a month is a very small price to pay for the benefits IMO. PS3 is rampant with hacking, and in terms of content and service XBL has the edge. The dashboard is a major missing piece of the PSN. I get that people like PS3 being free and dedicated servers, but to me you get what you pay for. I will gladly pass on one visit to Starbucks every few weeks to pay for the subscription.... And to not use PS3 controllers

    Mostly though... doesn't it just seem like people own what their friends own!?! My brother and his buddies all got PS3 around the same time. My buddies and I all got Xbox's one after the other. I think that has more of an effect than anything... and people draw conclusions about which is better long after they've dropped the cash

    Hopefully it comes back without IE as its browser


    I am fixed

    "Somedays I wake up and feel like nobody loves me. Other days I wake up and feel like I love nobody. Sometimes I wake up and feel tired, and worn out. Sometimes I wake up and feel like I cannot face the day. But someday I'll wake up and realize that waking up is pretty stupid because it just makes you feel like crap."
