PSN Down?

Drunzer · 6 Apr 2011 at 21:43

Got signed out bout 30 minutes ago and haven't been able to login since, router and connection are fine. Connection test fails at playstation network part, anyone else having problems?

mame · 6 Apr 2011 at 21:48

Mine was down earlier at about 4pm. Not tried it since

it may be due to DDoS attack by Anonymous

PSN have been "performing intermittent maintenance" for the past couple of days. In other words, Anonymous have been hammering them.

Error 80710D36?

Yeah its Anonymous DDos attack. Over all the PS3 Hack sites at the min reporting it

Working fine for me but it is very slow.

Took me 40 minutes to download Sonic 2 which is about 34mb.

These Anonymous people really are tosspots. How does stopping normal people playing online hurt sony? It just annoys everybody else!

I got logged in just before I came into work at 10, hopefully there is no downtime tonight.

Sony are now investigating and have acknowledged that Anon could have been behind the attack.

Hm, seems a bit weird. I have been logged in for days here in Norway.

I can connect to PSN but can't do anything once I'm on, it's times like this that I wish PSN was a paid for service, then they would have a legal obligation to sort it out, as it is they are just letting it run the distance and see what happens

iamtheoneneo · 7 Apr 2011 at 12:23

i cant wait for the day sony get hold of the hackers addresses and send the ****ers to jail.

OtherSide · 7 Apr 2011 at 12:40

Yeah it was abit unpredictable last night, I got d/c a few times while playing MS:A, it seemed to calm down for me after 9pm though. It was pretty poor the other night, I did think it was my wireless so I moved the PS to plug it into the router and I was still getting a d/c or not being able to connect at all.

The hackers are doing it just to tarnish Sonys service, if customers can't connect and Sony can't fix the problem quickly they may lose customers to other consoles. Some customers do pay for a service called PS Plus, so I'd imagine those people are pretty miffed to be paying for something that isn't working!!

It means people can't spend money on PSN.

Sony will be making money on a per minute basis on PSN, so every minute they are down is money lost.

Dark_Angel · 7 Apr 2011 at 13:07

Meh.

Want to play some SSF4 when I got back from work :/

Rambo89 · 7 Apr 2011 at 13:13

Anonymous is not attacking the PSN at this time. Sony’s official position is that the PSN is undergoing maintenance. We realize that targeting the PSN is not a good idea. We have therefore temporarily suspended our action, until a method is found that will not severely impact Sony customers.
