It emerged last night that a custom firmware hack may have been the reason Sony took PSN completely offline last week, a move which has kept the service offline ever since.
Backward compatibility works for many games on newer consoles, but titles such as The Simpsons: Hit and Run have been left out.
From base building to swinging willies, here are the best survival games around, which include a couple of less than obvious picks.
It turns out that many moons ago, Microsoft once had its eye on the Sony published LittleBigPlanet series.
Microsoft in a nutshell. Always tried to poach Sony employees, games, 3rd party games and devices like the depth camera that was turned into Kinect but was running on PS2 before Xbox 360. Wouldn't be surprised they wanted LBP. Just like they worked behind the scenes pushing the MLB to bring Sony's baseball game to Xbox instead of making their own.

They didn't spend years trying to develop their own baseball game. They wanted Sony's game.
They're scum.
"However, Healey said Media Molecule wouldn't have felt right doing that, adding it would have been "morally corrupt"."
Major kudos to Media Molecule for being an upright studio with principles.
Great, more stories like this please. Show the last of the zombies holding the line what we've been saying for years: Microsoft is anti competition, anti industry and has no interest in making games at all.
But hey, at least there's an Xbox Games Showcase to look forward to, right?
Well considering SONY just killed the series, LBP would've been dead by now either way. Though MM probably wouldn't exist by now either, so I'm glad they stayed with SONY, hopefully they don't get shut down any time soon or ever honestly.
I may be late but I haven't paid much attention to the "PSN Situation" as most articles provide NO info!
anyway this situation is about annoying and being forced to always update firmware to even be able to DO ANYTHING on your PS3 is getting out of hand. The PS3 has went from safe and secure to more open than a $2 hooker.
The PS4 is needed and needed NOW! It needs to really address this security issue so every Firmware update doesn't brick your system. Sure auto update is fine but many times too many updates tend to mess things up and Sony is not allowing you to roll back to older firmware because of this Madness.
Next Gen is needed today for the consoles as it's obvious they have reached their potential and their ages are showing.
*facepalm* PS4 is needed NOW??? So that people can complain AGAIN about PS5 whereabouts, then PS6, and on and on... a stupid cycle that NONE of you realize you're doing over and over... WAKE UP!!!
Sorry to burst your bubble but credit card numbers do not go "unchecked" on PSDN, they need to be legitimate cards just as they are on PSN, Only difference is PSDN doesn't actually CHARGE the card.
Legitimate number is still required, and is logged when a purchase is made.
