So what do they gain by doing this exactly? Recognition? Seems pretty pathetic if you ask me.

Well you got to have something to impress the ladies at the bar with when you've mustered enough willpower (dexerity) and lost enough weight to move your ass out of the basement and decided to to approach the other gender...

I really don't even think this is Anonymous any more, I think it's just one person trying to give a bad name to Anonymous or get some publicity.

The fact that so many cows are angered or annoyed only makes anonymous giddy with delight.

Doolz2024

Why would I be annoyed? That's what single player games are for. Play them until this passes over. Hell I've still for the entire GT series to complete.

Why aren't you annoyed? What, you don't mind at all that you can't connect to your console's online service? I know I would certainly be annoyed if the PS3 were my primary platform, even more so if I was a subscriber to PS+.

It's too petty to be annoyed about. I don't depend on PSN for anything so I'm not losing anything.

You need a break from SW. In the real world they're called gamers.

OK this is getting stupid. These hackers are an *** to think they're hurting Sony by doing this, they're not. They are hurting gamers like me from enjoying my game online. I feel no remorse for them when they get caught, and they will get caught, because every crook F's up somewhere down the road. Then Big Bubba will have his fun while they rot in prison for their crimes for what they think is a joke.

No one has a right to complain about this since these problems are sourced from the problems recently in japan from the earthquake no company could have kept their stuff online under such a scenario.
anon wont attack because they know people will draw that line they are attacking sony when they are having problems because of a giant earthquake that killed many people and hurt many others and ruined the lives of so many in japan...anon=heartless B*******

The psn has been down before (as are all networks at some point) and anonymous has stated that they will not attack the psn (as if they could). why cant people accept that the server downtime is just maintainence.

I really hate these guys. I really do. They don't give a damn about gamers or possibly even the gaming industry at all. All these guys really are, are some twerps who are frustrated for God know what reason and they wanna take it out on Playstation. I guess hacking and ruining online play for everyone else makes them feel BA; and I find that pretty sad.Demonjoe93

I don't know about that, they're probably having revenge on Sony for taking GeoHotz to court, etc.

Maybe because Sony has already come out and said that PSN being down is not due to maintenance. link: http://www.engadget.com/2011/04/21/playstation-network-down-for-a-long-count-whats-up-sony/ Engadget: "PSN is acknowledging on its EU blog that the network outage may be a result of 'the possibility of targeted behaviour by an outside party.'"

maybe they should consider getting a life or commiting suicide before continuing their little crusade in the name of the consumer..harsh as my words may be.

these guys are giving PETA a run for their money in being sheer dumb.Hate getting it in my face at some gigs i go to :( no i dont want to be vegan i am a person who eats tasty animals.

Kind of off topic. But I find it to be funny that people actually think Anonymous is doing this for them. Like for example, " We had everything. And Sony are Indian givers. Anonymous only stepped in because this has to do with ppl getting their IP's logged out, recorded, and possibly banned or sued. You can't punish people for reading information period."

thier such savages.. ten bucks says its one dude with alot of friends on facebook or twitter throwing around this shin digg.

anon are about as effective a movement as hippies were dangerous :P

Well, they did quite a number on HBGary:

http://arstechnica.com/tech-policy/news/2011/02/how-one-security-firm-tracked-anonymousand-paid-a-heavy-price.ars/

But then again these Sony hating people probably don't have anything to do with the ones from the article.

We're talking about people who spammed an epilepsy forum with flashing GIFs. They lack the capacity for empathy.

"via their IRC about the group's future plans regarding attacks on Sony, Kato told VGN365 that they are currently preparing their next attack against Sony" So they're calling themselves anonymous and claims that they aren't a group, but just individuals, and yet they are preparing an attack? According to the ideologi behind anon that must be one hell of an coincidence. Or have I misunderstood how anonymous supposedly work?

Guys, worrying about netflix, I've been able to play netflix while psn has been down. When it asked to log into psn, just click cancel once or twice and netflix will still come up. Netflix is just internet based, same as your browser on the ps3 which still works fine. So rest easy, you can still enjoy your netflix.

They anger the gods of internet joy. Mark my words, for in the end, their computers will crash beyond repair, their PS3s will be void of warranties, their ISP will neglect their pitiful cries of mercy...oh, and of course sued for insurmountable funds that their many generations of bloodline will be tied to :P. On a more serious note, at least Hotz didn't hide behind a mask, despite what we all think of the guy. Oh, I went there! Come at me, Anon 8).

Targeted group by an outside party =/= anon. For all we know it could be geohot and some friends. My point was only to say that even Sony has admitted it's not "maintenance".
