New tweet of Playstation Network Downtime

As the downtime goes into almost 2 days, a new tweet has just appeared on Playstation's Europe twitter, hit the link for the tweet and stay tuned here to keep updated.

SeanScythe4755d ago

what does it say twitter is blocked at my work.

Myst4755d ago

"We are still working on the PSN outage and will keep you updated"

zeksta4755d ago

Specifically what he said.

I_find_it_funny4755d ago

I don't feel updated, is this tweet an update?

DarkTower8054755d ago

Man, this is unacceptable. A couple hours or even a day is ok, but how many days so far...and still counting!

I understand that PSN is free, but I didn't buy my PS3 to not play online, especially when great games like Portal 2 and MK just released.

Also, how the fuck could something in Japan affect players in the Europe and North America? There's an old saying, "Don't put all your eggs in one basket". How could Sony not have backup servers all over the world? This whole situation smells damn fishy to me. So far there has been no explanation of what went wrong or who is to blame.

DaTruth4755d ago

Some people have a long weekend and nothing is open today and there is nowhere to go!

They shouldn't pull this crap at these times! I want to rent a movie to watch on Good Friday and now I'm screwed!

Dee_914755d ago

smh
telling us your gonna keep us updated isnt keeping us updated lol
hope this is fixed over the weekend tho

cyborg69714755d ago (Edited 4755d ago )

Hey truth why can't you go to an actual store to rent one? This type of thing brings out the desperation of basement dwelling virgins everywhere. Oh noes what will I do? I can't live vicariously through an imaginary avatar. Why dont you whiney vitamin d lacking douche bags get outside? Oh my bad there will be real people out there with you that's why.
Tower I disagreed with you cause you sound like a heroin addict whose chained to a bed and forced to take methadone. Find another thing to do like read. Man pathetic people around here.

DarkTower8054755d ago

Hmm, judging by the disagrees in my previous post people here are totally cool with the outage. They also didn't buy their PS3 to play games online. And there is an explanation as to what happened.

Fuckin fanboys! I will probably get disagrees on this comment as well, which in a way will mean they now agree with my first comment.

crxss4755d ago

what a waste of a "Hottest News" block spot. i didn't know that a sentence saying pretty much nothing was news worthy.

come on now zeksta (OP), post something when you have something that says PSN is back online instead of something saying 'it's STILL down and they're STILL working on it'. ridiculous.

DarkTower8054755d ago

@ cyborg, I'm sorry that some of us don't live off of mommy and daddy and actually work full time. Excuse us if when we get out of work we want to relax and play some games online.

Also, if you weren't a mental midgit you might google "darktower" and find that it's a famous Stephen King epic series. So yeah, I'm probably more well read than you will ever be. Btw, don't go knockin people, you have twice as many comments on here as I do in the same time span. So if one of us needs to go outside its you.

I_find_it_funny4755d ago

OVER THE WEEKEND?, that would meen 3-4 days total

absolutely unacceplable, Sony screwed up big time

The funny thing is the tweet before the most recent. It says "What are you doing over the long weekend?" I wanted to respond, "We will be sitting here waiting for you to fix the damn network."

zeksta4755d ago

Haha, I actually did reply with something similar :D

saladthieves4755d ago

Let's just hope that they manage to fix this at least before the weekend (today). Its been almost 2 days. Some people out there are getting impatient. If this continues through the Spring break weekend, it could make more people pissed off for 3 reasons:

1) They can't enjoy their weekend with online gaming
2) They know there is a problem, but not precisely what it is.
3) The fact that they have no idea when they'll be back playing online again.

zeddy4755d ago (Edited 4755d ago )

its pretty hard to defend the psn after this. sure xbl went down once during the holidays but with the ps3 its a regular occurance, it happens way to often and to make it worse they get easily hacked by anonymous who makes a mockery of their security. its a billion dollar company this shouldnt happen.

Holeran4755d ago

I took my b-day week for my vacation after not having a vacation for 2.5 years and besides doing a couple of days worth of stuff with the kids I thought great I get to play Killzone 3 as much as I want. Nope.

Joni-Ice4755d ago

Play KZ3 on elite. That is fun while waiting.

--------4755d ago

As pissed off as this all makes me, and as much as I love KZ2 + KZ3 online - botzone is fucking awesome.

If you want to get good at the game play the campaign and botzone on Elite mode, as Joni-Ice suggested.

protekjv4755d ago

aside of fixing the problem, am curious what caused the "outage" in first place. am not 100% certain about the rumors that keep appearing(hackers-Anonymous, Japan issue...)

v1c1ous4755d ago

the anon irc says they're not the ones doing it. and sony has made it obvious through their statements it seems to be some sort of technical issue.

Soldierone4755d ago

Skynet. Nothing more needs to be said.

There are several websites and services currently down too. Amazon Music cloud is off and on, Amazon services (such as help hosting websites) are down, Reddit and several similar websites are not working properly. And havent been since PSN crashed at the same time.

andreasx4755d ago

im turning mad soon!!! FIX PSN FOR CRYING OUT LOUD!!!!

trancefreak4755d ago

What suxs is you cant even log in too any Sony forums to reply to the outage or anything else as a matter of fact.

I went over to kz3 and couldn't got on there and got a huge pic of psn service is temporarily down.

undercovrr4755d ago

The outage is now outright embarassing on Sony's part. The worst part is that Sony is not even saying the reason. Hopefully it will be up soon because this is ridiculous

GoldPS34755d ago

Things happen. Technology isn't perfect and so isn't the humans that make it.

Whats even more ridiculous is MS selling a product knowing it failures and ripping off millions and yet millions still support them. MS still haven't release data on how many 360's got RROD.

--------4755d ago (Edited 4755d ago )

- I agree with you, but it's been down for myself and friends in the UK on and off for almost a month...it is embarrassing for Sony, as much as I've been supporting them lately - if it happens, it should never be this bad, and:

"Yeah we're uh...fixing it uh...we'll let you know something about it soon maybe...uh, cool. Hang tight!"

Just ain't good enough.

BlackTar1874755d ago

Jmorgan

it's been down for myself and friends in the UK on and off for almost a month..

really why are you the first to mention this then?

undercovrr4755d ago

You may be right, but you don't realize that Sony is just as bad with their YLOD issue. At least microsoft is providing warranty now for RROD, but Sony doesn't even recognize the YLOD issue. Two my friends' ps3s including my own (the fat one) got YLOD after around 3 years of usage. when you call Sony about it, they make you pay 210 dollars for repair..as if its my fault.

Everyone on this site thinks Sony is the angel while Microsoft is the demon, but that's not the case. Sony is just more cunning at hiding their mistakes

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 Souls5073d ago

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

Godmars2905073d ago (Edited 5073d 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.

ClownBelt5073d 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-Pyro5073d 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.

Anon73495073d 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.

RedDevils5072d ago

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

ThanatosDMC5072d ago

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