FAGOL4625d ago

Interesting. I live in England and it's not working. I get the 8002A548 error. I even tried my US and Japanese accounts.

The only trouble I've got is trying to answer to a friend request

Iroquois_Pliskin4625d ago

goddamit I signed out just to test it and can't sign in back again....

Denethor_II4625d ago

I was playing GT5, very annoying.

buddymagoo4625d ago

Could the new firmware have something to do with it?

WhittO4625d ago (Edited 4625d ago )

:| really?? This is becoming a habit with PSN, funny how it barely went down and was stable first few years and now its down quite often.

Dee_914625d ago

down quite often ?
how much is quite often ?
because its rarely down for me
last time it was down for me was during the outage ..

4625d ago
WhittO4625d ago (Edited 4625d ago )

^^ Well it feels like it has been down alot this past year, yes I understand being down for a month because of hacking, but it has been down several times since then for atleast a day at a time due to "scheduled maintenance".

I mean I remember it coming back online for a week after hack, then going back down again for a day or so, then coming back online then week later offline for maintenance again, I mean, get your s**t together haha.

When XBL has maintenance does their entire network go down and if so how long for? Just curious btw.

I get there are millions on PSN now and it is free, It is just annoying that the network seems less reliable than it was the first few years...

I remember telling all my m8s that even though PSN is free, it is NEVER down and really stable & lag-free, that has gone the way of cross-game chat! hahah

another reason that the ps3 is the inferior system. I don't recall the last outage on xbox live.... oh wait, that's because that didn't happen.

MaxXAttaxX4625d ago

Does this seriously pass ass news here on N4G?

@ itsallgud,

By the time you haters were done reading the title, PSN was back up!

WhittO4624d ago (Edited 4624d ago )

^^ yes maintenance is a good thing and is required, but PSN "maintenance" isn't that, it is the network going down/people unable to login in certain parts of the world, they find a solution then it is online in a few hours (usually) - that's NOT maintenance! Just like it happened today..

Also, it doesn't usually last 1 hour LOL (as you can see by today..), not being funny, but I can't believe when they actually schedule these things...which as I said seems quite often for the size of the maintenance - being from say 11.00-21:00 in my time zone, that to me is most of the day.

O well, it is free, but that is not an excuse to deliver an inferior product...

Also, if it wasn't for us "haters" @NathanExplosion, complaining etc, we probably wouldn't have half the features we do today, so take that as a good thing.
Why would you want to hold Sony in low standards which would only get worse? Yes, you can thank the complainers for in-game XMB and Trophies and every other feature worth talking about..

Whoever posted this failed to acknowledge that it isn't a 100% outage, and seems to be focused on the european areas.

LOGICWINS4625d ago (Edited 4625d ago )

"Whoever posted this failed to acknowledge that it isn't a 100% outage, and seems to be focused on the european areas."

I thought that was obvious since its coming Playstation Blog EU.

EDIT: Yup, its down for me as well. I live in NY.

FAGOL4625d ago (Edited 4625d ago )

Well it is the European PS Blog twitter. I would put a update saying that it only affects european areas but some people from outside the EU are having problems.

DaTruth4625d ago (Edited 4625d ago )

It's down in Toronto!

Weird because I just updated and when the PS3 came back, it signed out immediately! Guess updates are on a different network!

execution174625d ago

I'm in Thunder Bay and I'm signed in, but my brother who lives in the same house can't log in >.>

omg im in the united states and I'm also getting a error to sign in
if its another hack attack I'm gonna shoot myself

LOGICWINS4625d ago

If it's another hack attack, I'll play the plethora of single player games I have in my backlog and patiently wait for Welcome Back Package #2 :)

princejb1344625d ago

i like that idea logic wins, maybe i can finally finish dead space 2 revelation

Mr-Dude4625d ago

@logicwins

Welcome Back Package #2 LOL!

HAHAHA

Mrmagnumman3574625d ago

yeah i need some more free games, so please hackers ?

princejb1344625d ago

@ miDnIghtEr
i recall people who didn't want to pay for xbox live made a new account monthly just to get a free month
so yea no wonder its so high, it goes both ways on both systems

DaTruth4625d ago (Edited 4625d ago )

I don't know! I'm getting spam Emails and I don't remember if I gave them my phone number, but all of a sudden I'm getting calls from telemarketers!

It sucks, because I think I got a drug dealers old phone number and people finally stopped calling me just recently!

I barely play those games they gave me and they weren't worth the trouble!

TheFirstClassic4625d ago (Edited 4625d ago )

I decided to get a good single player game during the last outage, so I picked up infamous. :/ I was kinda annoyed that I could have gotten it for free.

SilentNegotiator4625d ago

ZOMG PSN is down in some regions! Hackerz!!!

Glad to see people are not overreacting.
/s

DeFFeR4625d ago

@cpayne

But, it was good wasn't it? Unless you paid full retail, then you still made a good decision, and got 2 other games for free.

You don't have to be logged in to download something that was already on the downloading list, I was able to download fancy pants after the big outage.

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 Souls5095d ago

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

Godmars2905095d ago (Edited 5095d 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.

ClownBelt5095d 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-Pyro5095d 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.

Anon73495095d 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.

RedDevils5095d ago

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

ThanatosDMC5095d ago

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