It's maintenance, unscheduled i think but anyway, i was on steam last night and booted off and disconnected about 6 times. Atleast with PSN it's one big one instead of 20 small ones.

Ok, I'm just quoting @PlaystationEU from Twitter. Do you honestly believe they scheduled maintainance at a time when they've just released some 'big' titles for sale on the store?

your acting a little childish TC, no offense. Go sell your ps3, no one cares, there are times that gamespot has been down or been very glitchy but you don't see me making threads saying i'm boycotting the site.

You've got me completely wrong. Instead of reading my post(s) you are trying to pick a fight. I didn't say I was boycotting anyone, I just said that I might sell my PS3 and put the money towards a gaming PC. What's wrong with that?

not trying to pick a fight, but what are we suppose to discuss here? go ahead and sell it, i'm sure no one here really cares, sony made a profit off you "if you bought it new" so you can do whatever you want with it. so sell it if little things like this annoys you, i wonder if your going to sell your gaming pc when its catches a virus or when your having problems launching the game. But i digress, sell it and move on with your life

How bad of me to suggest I might turn to PC gaming, eh Chris??? [QUOTE="Chris_Williams"] ..hopefully next gen goes digital so this B.S won't take off or i might just fully go to PC gaming, i mean making people pay for mulitplayer, okay i understand that, servers cost money, thats understandable but when you mess with my single player then i'm not allowing that.

I totally agree with the OPs statement...PSN are a laughing stock after this last years array of cock ups. I will most definately consider getting an alternative system to enjoy my gaming hobby on because it is apparent that the PS3 can no longer be relied upon.

cool story bro

"cool story bro" is not even a cool thing to say anymore first of all, its pretty much a weak sarcasm liner for someone who can't think of good sarcasm originality

I hate fanboyism, that's why I said I won't buy an xbox. But these Sony fanboys running to hate on anyone who dares to be fed up with this poor service are just as bad. I have a Sony tv, I love it. But if it worked intermittently then of course I'd consider replacing it with an alternative. Who wouldn't?

Looks like the money they've made and have been charging from PSN+ subscribers to make a better service has done squat for server stability. Sony just doesn't have the technical proficiency to run an online service on par with other companies. PSN+ will seem like a rip off if they cant get their act together. This is no better than how it was when Sony first went into online services.

Are people so addicted to multiplayer that owning a console without online is pointless? I have over 60 games and almost every one of them has a single player offering. I swear gamers used to be... you know... gamers.

Where have you been for the past 5 years? Online gaming defines this generation. Things change. I don't care about saving the world with a cliche hero. I just want to play competitive games with people across the country.

You know the first 4yrs for the PS3 when everyone was saying Live was better, I would always say it was ridiculous to say that, because while it didn't have all the bells and whistles of Live, it was just as functional. But this year Sony has really dropped the ball on that, thankfully I have always been able to use Netflix even when PSN was down or I would be more annoyed. But this year with them, its constant ToS changes, firmware updates and problems; I mean just downloaded the firmware update last night and wasn't it suppose to be about stability? And then the service instantly goes down lol. This wasn't happening last year or two years ago, what is the problem this year?

Yeah there are too many brogamers nowadays. People threatening to sell their consoles because of one day without PSN? lol. I could see people getting worried about a repeat of last time but that's a little extreme.

Well I'm signed in right now, but to the TC, do whatever you feel like, don't listen to the fanboys. I am myself a bit upset of Sony's online service this year, but so far nothing to make me want to sell my PS3.

No service is perfect, how many times are websites down for either maintenance or some error? The more complicated the world becomes the easier things break down. If I stopped visiting every website that stopped worked due to some reason I may as well not bother with the internet all together. PC gaming is no different, services like Steam tend to go down as well. Like I said, no service is perfect.

So you'd sell your PS3 after 2 PSN downtimes? If that's the reason you're going to get rid of it, you might as well go ahead and do it.
