JaneAusten69 Posted August 24, 2014 Share Posted August 24, 2014 I doubt we get free games from this. It's a minor inconvenience. I don't fault the companies that are being affected. Some douche bag wanna be hacker is to blame. There will always be people that are rude, selfish and cheat. I for one will not expect hand outs because these people exist. Playing video games online is a hobby. This is not the end of the world, it's just annoying. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DarknessKey92 Posted August 24, 2014 Share Posted August 24, 2014 (edited) YES!! I Just accessed the PSN Store through my PS3, and Was Able to get My Sly & God of War Collections from the Flash Sale. After that I went to my Downloads List, and saw them all there registered; sure it froze after 5 sec I was in the List, but after I turned my PS3 back on & went directly to my Downloads....well I can say it's Currently up on the PS3. So take my advice & Shop From the Flash Sale...Like Right Fucken Now!!! Before we get back to where we started.

deadlygunner18 Posted August 24, 2014 Share Posted August 24, 2014 PSN's been down the whole day? I've been playing SFxT on VITA since 10:00 am and I have not once been offline I've also been playing ranked matches and found multiple people. Only hearing about this DDos now.

However, good to hear you're now able to sign in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DarknessKey92 Posted August 24, 2014 Share Posted August 24, 2014 (edited) PSN access for the PS3 was resolved hours ago. However, good to hear you're now able to sign in. Yes I know that you can Sign in to PSN(Probably a few hours after this thread was made), But what was just probably barely Resolved is Access to the Store. A few Hours ago it would simple show "Playstation Store", "Search", and "Cart" in the upper left corner. Then possible after a few sec pass a white line would slide to the middle & simply freeze the PS3. Later on it would not show the white line heading towards the center, but would say "Undergoing maintenance", then giving you the only option to simply exit the store. Also the store.sonyentertainmentnetwork.com Website would have the store products to shop for, but you could not log in to Purchase anything. It simply "Failed to sign in" every time you tried.

damon8r351 Posted August 24, 2014 Share Posted August 24, 2014 (edited) :awesome: :awesome: I'm not a fan of Microsoft and Xbox, but why be happy about Xbox Live being offline? Also, that reinforces my earlier opinion that Microsoft is BY FAR not a paragon of security. Edited August 24, 2014 by damon8r351 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kidhero99 Posted August 24, 2014 Share Posted August 24, 2014 People were having issues. Getting booted, not being able to log in. It even shows on their status page that some service is limited. It just doesn't seem wide reaching. Even multi-platform DDOS attacks aren't coming on Wii U Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Glowbugg Posted August 24, 2014 Share Posted August 24, 2014 Good luck. PSN is the sick baby antelope at the back of the pack. XBL is the giant alpha great white that you don't see coming but knows where you are from miles away. And people are constantly calling Xbox an 'underdog' ..I don't get it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
deadlygunner18 Posted August 25, 2014 Share Posted August 25, 2014 Watchdoges 2 in progress the two hackers that apparently hacking PSN are FamedGod and Lizardsquad but now they are having some kind of hacker war. Both are posting personal information and releasing passwords, the address to each others home, etc. Ubisoft better be taking notes Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KratosTheMighty Posted August 25, 2014 Share Posted August 25, 2014 I don't know what's funnier... these "Hackers" or the people here over reacting and expecting compensation for a few hours of down time. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kidhero99 Posted August 25, 2014 Share Posted August 25, 2014 I think it says a lot about where the real power lies on the internet, when Brazzers can be back up within a couple hours while the rest still try to fix the issue, lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KingCuervo88 Posted August 25, 2014 Share Posted August 25, 2014 things like this make me wish a massive plague would just hit Earth.... the human race is too stupid for our own good... these people clearly have some sort of intelligence with computers but they use it for the dumbest stuff.... acting like middle schoolers.."meh, they are meany heads and i'm gonna be a little bitch about it"...we just need some mass disease to wipe out these fat weak couch slugs who need their moms to tug on their tiny vein sabers... humans suck Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kidhero99 Posted August 25, 2014 Share Posted August 25, 2014 Someone should tweet yosp and let him know about this revolutionary tool.Read earlier that SOE already uses Akamai, so they had protection. It's just not enough at some point. It's impossible to completely handle a DDOS unless you actually have the bandwidth. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
