Sony Blames 'External Intrusion' For Lengthy PSN Outage
Several readers have noted that outages on Sony's PlayStation Network have prevented online play for the past few days. The company has now blamed an 'external intrusion' for the trouble, saying they took down the network to "conduct a thorough investigation and to verify the smooth and secure operation of our network services going forward." Some suspect an attack by Anonymous, who declared war on Sony earlier this month, but Anonymous has disavowed knowledge of such an attack. Meanwhile, others are asking whether Sony should compensate users for the inability to play PS3 multiplayer modes, and even single-player modes on a few downloadable games.
Why? Because they are conservative with lots of money influencing politics? Is it the "conservative" thing they don't like or the "lots of money" part? Because, if it is the latter, (and it is) then why aren't they targeting George Soros equally?
The left loves to trot out Koch Brothers, but neglects Soros and Hollywood, and the right does it in reverse. My only wish is that people make their viewpoints clear, and at least with both Koch and Soros, their allegiance is clear.
Agent K: A *person* is smart. People are dumb, stupid, panicky animals, and you know it.
I don't have a Playstation
Then you don't have a right to comment on this article. There aren't any single player games on PS3 that require PSN connection (not Demon Souls, not LittleBigPlanet, not anything) in order to save the game, and the fact that you have a score 5 is pathetic. It really shows the Sony hate on /., which is undeserved as the PS3 is the most open platform (Steam integration, 99% region free games).
there is the crazy Live-Games for Windows
Sony is not Microsoft, which coincidently make the competing console with a 60% failure rate.
