Do we really need an article for this?

metsgaming4748d ago

yes since there were articles stating it would be down for scheduled maintenance you need to have an article telling people when its back up. It's actually news that is necessary.

ksense4748d ago

I think what they did was have the developers upload their stuff so when it comes back online in a couple of days everything is rdy to go and there are no issues.

MoB214748d ago

@ksense that makes a lot of sense actually, seeing how this maintenance did absolutely nothing for us

BX814748d ago

No we don't need an article for this but some people are at work or doing other things and like the heads up. If you're at home you could just turn on your PS3 but. More of a save time thing like everything else in the world. Do we need the guide button on our console controllers to turn it on? Not really, is it nice? Yes!

RIPSKATEDESTROY4747d ago

just imagine when the article hits about PSN store back online. do you want fried servers with that welcome back package?

RedDevils4747d ago (Edited 4747d ago )

miyamoto4747d ago

Right on top of you Dante!

Edig: That came out very wrong.

saladthieves4747d ago

Also, did any of you guys realize that when you hover your house over a person's name, their message pops up? Like BX81 "Dead babies make good sand bags".

This is the first time I actually see this.

Cenobia4747d ago

Dammit...

Now I can't stop doing it.

WildArmed4747d ago

Yeah, you can see the person's comment (also seen on their profile)

Kon4748d ago

Damn, it was down again?! Wow...

metsgaming4748d ago

scheduled maintenance apparently

Dragun6194748d ago

PSN wasn't down. It's been online, it was just undergoing Maintenance.

From the PSBlog

"PlayStation Network is scheduled to undergo maintenance today, from about 8am until approximately 5pm Pacific time. During this time, registration and Account Management will be inaccessible, including the password reset process. While some users may experience difficulty signing in to PSN, the majority of consumers will be able to play online as well as sign in to external sites that require PSN authentication (like this one)."

Ilikegames764748d ago

In Asia and in Japan, it's still down. You lucky Americans/Canadians/Europeans get to play online.

Adva4748d ago

paintsville4747d ago

Maintenance finished for today, is what this article should say. I give it a week and it'll be down for "Maintenance" again.

PSN, OR PSN STORE? because i have been playing online for a looooong time, and nothing has happened....

user94220774748d ago

If you were logged into the PSN before they started the maintenance, then you can still play online; that's why.

Nitrowolf24748d ago (Edited 4748d ago )

you could always sign in and out, it even states that on the blog post, only a few didn't have access.
Been signing in and out all day

Kakasquall4748d ago

It's just the PSN.

Apparently PlaystationStore will be back before the end of the month.

plstcsldgr4748d ago

the automatic update service seems to be working again. could mean something

RankFTW4748d ago

That's been working since PSN came back as I got like 4 updates on that day pushed to my console.

Jack-H4748d ago

The ONLY good thing about the store not being up for me personally, is that I still can't seem to make up my mind which 2 games to get.

xX TriiCKy Xx4748d ago

Really? It was an easy choice for me.

Infamous and Dead Nation.

Jack-H4748d ago (Edited 4748d ago )

Hah That's exactly what I'm leaning towards right now.

BeOneWithTheGun4748d ago

Yup! I have three trophies left for Infamous for my plat.

theEx1Le4747d ago

Exactly what i'm going for. Its an easy choice when you look at it :)

Takoulya4748d ago

I'm definitely going with inFAMOUS and WipEout HD. I can't believe I don't own either yet, but I'm sort of glad now, lol.

Rolling the Dice: Do Modern RPGs Miss the Point of Team-Based Play?

It seems it was long time ago. A bunch of friends spending hours on end playing RPG games, sitting around the table with the box of cold pizza. Excited about the story, listening to the Game Master, they were completely engaged in the worlds only visible to them and their imaginations.

The GM is the programmer, and in MMOs and co-ops, you can play with others. If you want to ONLY use your imagination for the visuals, read a book.

Record of Agarest War 2 announced for PS3

Scrawl: "Looks like we know how that new Compile Heart countdown is going to end. The latest issue of Famitsu has confirmed that Agarest Senki 2, known as Record of Agarest War 2 in the US, is Compile Heart’s newest title."

1) Hope they put it on disc this time.
2) Hope this is a positive for Neptune coming over as well.

Demons Souls5098d ago

If so, that's being developed & published by Idea Factory. Compile Heart has nothing to do with it (Thank God for that).

Godmars2905098d ago (Edited 5098d ago )

Thought Compile Heart was one of the companies lending characters.

Was also speaking in general as in regards to a US of Neptune. If these guys are offing a second game, NIS or Atlus, both of whom offer quirkier titles, will put that one out.

@kagon01:
My issue isn't - wholly - with the DL-only option, but the price. The first game should be $30. Maybe $40, and by that I mean $39.99. The only reason its $45 is the 360 disc version which has extras. Nevermind that by all rights its a PS2 game. Something that proabbly could have been done if the devs had the GOW2 engine or tools.

ClownBelt5098d ago

I approve of this god damn message.

Could have gotten my 60 bucks if they just put it on a disc.

Another exclusive damnn the ps3 keeps on rollin wit games awesome ;)

Jack-Pyro5098d ago

Is this a half decent SRPG, porn aside, cause if it is, i might just decide to go and buy it for the 360.

Anon73495098d ago

There's no porn just some sexual innuendos but that's it.

Also it is a great game by itself, maybe not graphically but everything else is top tier.

RedDevils5097d ago

so it had some kind of "top tier" porn story jk

ThanatosDMC5098d ago

Yup, it's a decent game. I just hate that a move has to go first before any attack options.
