Is PSN under attack? - PSN now back up 15/05

Tunney · 11 May 2011 at 10:13

I've had two replacements Xbox 360s. Total turnaround time must have been about 3 weeks.

unp|dissy · 11 May 2011 at 11:27

I know you all want to know exactly when the services will be restored. At this time, I can’t give you an exact date, as it will likely be at least a few more days. We’re terribly sorry for the inconvenience and appreciate your patience as we work through this process.

well I would def say this PSN outage is now worse than the RROD. I mean, I can see people just not buying a ps3 in the future because of this... and who can trust sony with our info on any of their products?

You're aware these consoles still have their offline functions available? If they fail at somepoint, I'll maybe agree with you

My pc died a while back and the PS3 is all I got. I've gone from 0 to 13 platinums in the weeks it's been down, I actually went back to MW2s single player. i was looking forward to brink. God damnit :/

I read somewhere it'll be back up on 31st of may.

LMAO

our info is useless - people give it away on facebook for free

worse than a broken console? LMAO you do realise games still work offline, so does blu ray capabilities as well as play tv, etc.

Take it were still not back on then....

I have finished work and i really have nothing to do today so thought i would check to see if PSN is back up for some COD:BO. I have a fair few games i havent played yet but to be fair i can't really be bothered to play any either but i think ill try force my self later to try get into one as i really have nothing at all to do today lol...

Games i haven't played yet are:
Bayonetta
AC: Brotherhood
Resistance 2
AvP
Far Cry 2
Singularity

So which one should i try get in to?

OriginalJonty · 11 May 2011 at 13:06

AC: Brotherhood and Singularity are both awesome. Avoid Far Cry 2. It looks pretty but the gameplay is boring.

Bennie-Mac · 11 May 2011 at 13:09

I must admit ive had a good few laughs reading through this thread. Now if you'll excuse me im off to buy a 360 and Live subscription so i can get my online gaming fix. Oh wait, ive just realised im not a desparate child.

Ill have you know most of them are desperate adults...

Oh dear...

EEDIT: @Robo89 - Try Bayonetta, AC: Brotherhood or Resistance 2 in that order. Do not touch FC2 or AVP...

your from scotland arent you? put the heroin away

I would say it's as bad as the RROD.

The seed is now planted in peoples mind about their information being taken. And the majority will now have doubts about giving Sony their CC details.

This thread sure has brought the fanboys out of the woodwork. It was going so well too. :rolleyes:

dude im sooooooooooooooooo not worried about my credit card details being taken, you do know they are fully covered?

i cant believe how many idiots out there think credit card fraud is easy to do and people get away with it every second of every day, leaving people homeless. scare mongering at its best.

you need the 3 digit code on the back (next to impossible), you also have additional security such as passwords setup on your card, if you have more than 1 braincell, where if you try and use it online it takes you to a secure page where you need to type random letters/numbers in from your password, surely you wouldnt use the same password for your credit card as you did on PSN?

anyway as said above you need the 3 digit code on the back, which is next to impossible to obtain, i cant believe the number of people scared by this.

TONY · 11 May 2011 at 14:14

I believe the credit card companies have been given the details of all PSN customers by Sony so if they choose to they can cancel your card themselves if they feel it's necessary so I am not going to worry about it.

Then it seems that you don't know that several websites like amazon don't ask for that security code and neither do they use the verified by visa or mastercard securecode services so as long as this person knows the card holders address they can just use the card as much as they like.

Also some point of sales in shops only need the number accross the front of the card and the expiry date.

how about the fact everything is covered? you forget to mention that?

they can use it however much they like, as i know i will get my money back.

an another question, has there been 1 single reported incident in the news of someone's card being used?

also wtf, that has got to be one of the dumbest ways to do it.

people see fraud being used on amazon, report to credit card company.

credit card company phones up amazon, oh btw, some fraud occurred on these credit cards, can you help us out. yeah sure no problem, here is the culprits address 123 moron road where all the packages were being sent to.

credit card company to police here is all the fraud, here is the persons address, mind doing your job after we have done all the detective work?

I actually think the majority won't even know all about it. They will play their consoles as normal and when it's back up then that's great.

People might be vocal on the net and all but I doubt it's the majority

Not saying your wrong but most fraudsters use address that people are not living in. Etc ...

how do they get in? who signs for the packages? whoever signs = culprit. its not that hard to figure out surely, they need to be at the address all the stuff is being sent to.
