If these hackers wanted to mess with xbL they would and could. Actually they have before, if not the same hackers but I know xbl market has been hit before. So the only thing Sony needs to do is stay on top of the situation and keep adding security to the system. Or maybe they could ask MS and MS would just tell them to not make it a open system and close it up so us ps3 users can't have added features such as Steam functions :)

I don't think Xbox live has been hacked before. I know individual accounts got hacked because people can be dumb and give people their passwords. But there has never been a global outage before due to hacks.

Yup. XBL to my knowledge hasn't been hacked in 9 years. People have had their accounts hijacked because they gave out their information including Windows Live ID (which isn't hacking).
In response: Yes, they could easily contact MS and ask for help.
To lengthen my post I was about to write how it would'nt make a difference and elaborate but I'm at a loss for words considering the decline of humanity.
MS's advice would more than likely be 'start charging so you can afford some decent security and better people so when something like this happens you can fix it in a timely matter'.
Well they are probably using Server 2003 from Microsoft so what would make this any different? Just means they wouldn't be the enemies we all depict them to be. MS probably don't even know anything other than their own software so if Sony use Linux based servers then MS would downright reject.
First of all, if the online was a joke, why would they make people pay to play it, and second of all, it has less lag then XBL and almost the same amount of features (the only feature it lacks cross game chat really...) for no price...
I think we need a sticky for the PSN outage. On the side note:With all the people saying PSN is a joke and XBL is better, thats pretty much your opinion.

Well one works and the other doesn't.... :P :P But yah, PSN works fine with me. I don't really see a big difference with PSN and XBL. They all run great. The only difference is one is plain and simple and the other has random ads in your face :lol:

ALways for upcoming games and new demos and new DLC tho, so that's the kinda ad I want on my console!

Wouldn't want an ad for oven cleaner next to "Play Halo Reach" ha.

Sony just needs to get more revenues to fund their network security, they can afford that by charging for PSN, which I think they'll make mandatory for the PS4.
Really TC, really? That's like saying that a guy being hunted down by hitmen needs to ask me for help with living a safer life. Just because he's being hunted down at the moment, it doesn't mean I'm a guru at living safely and securely. Those hitmen could easily hunt me down too, they just choose not to because I haven't p*ssed them off yet. Now if you'll excuse me, I gotta go p*ss off some hitmen :)
[QUOTE="SaltyMeatballs"][QUOTE="shakmaster13"]People like the TC don't know the difference between hacks and DDOS...shakmaster13
DDOS? Where did you read it is down due to DDOS? DDOS is how servers are "attacked" and go offline. Oh, so you're just guessing? Anonymous tried a DDOS and failed, it had a minor effect. PSN is not down due to a DDOS.

Actually the ad's aren't random and 100% of the time those ad's lead to content on xbox live or video marketplace or lead to contests hosted by the advertisers. you don't hate Contests where you can win stuff do you?
