PSN Is Down... Again (Update: Back Online)

You can access the games offline.

Nice! I know it's not a conversation for this topic, but I think getyeryayasout really deserves it. Dude has me rolling some times.

You are wise beyond your years, my squirrel bro.

@ConanTheStoner: You both deserve it. It's like a constant game of tennis between you two, seeing the ball lobbed from one side to another. You two are like Nike and Adidas, Coke and Pepsi, Apple and Microsoft... Xbox and PlayStation.

Figure out yourself who's who

So out of curiosity, what do you think of those threads in which Charizard delivers bad news regarding Xbox and Nintendo? Is that part of his Sony hate machine too?

I'll take Adidas, Coke, Microsoft and Playstation.

Sorry @getyeryayasout

We are aware of the issues that are affecting the PlayStation Network. We appreciate your patience while our engineers work on resolving these issues.

At 9:49 a.m. PST, our caching server experienced a bug that allowed users to view the account data of other random users. As a result, we have temporarily shut down the PlayStation Network until the bug can be resolved.

Unfortunately, the bug also allowed users to view the Y-Data, the data containing the location of Proto Merkabah and the resting place of the Maiden. This breach may have contained the entirety of the NSA's archives, which may have fallen into the hands of terrorists. As a result, all PlayStation employees have been temporarily detained in temporary prison camps worldwide.

We urge our users to remain patient as the Testaments use the Y-Data to open a portal to Lost Jerusalem. Those whose payment information was stored in our database should cancel their credit cards, cut up their credit cards, burn the pieces in a ceremonial pyre, and then burn down their homes and move to a different country under a new identity.

We here at Sony apologize again for the inconvenience.

Sonys response, hope my account isn't compromised

That is twice he said that today and the PS4 has been out for over two years.

The PS4 has always been able to access the games offline. I'm not sure why he believed otherwise for two years+.

I wonder how that kind of misinformation gets out there.

He actually wrote a full treatise on that! It was post #148 here. It explains in depth why I sometimes pretend to like Sony.

lol

this is still funny

@DrkeX: You... er... realize that's fake, right?

You broke the universe, mang

I'm actually on PSN right now, one person on my friend list is as well. It doesn't seem like my other friends can get online as well. Though, I can't find a game in Rocket League, my connection to the network IS useless since others can't get on(?)

This is exactly how it was a year ago. I can confirm that my PSN is online if anyone doesn't buy what I'm saying.

in all seriousness though

I hope it comes back soon, wanted to do some coop dying light

It took way too long for me to realize that was a joke.

Proof that people dont read posts on here LOL

Not really LOL

some gold coming out of neogaf LOL

Ah, I thought this thread was just a one-off incident. I had no idea this was a steady stream of tears with a touch of tinfoil for good measure.

Yes Char, you've been building up your Playstation fan facade for two generations running. You lurked patiently in the shadows, calculating your every move, waiting for the right moment to strike. This is it. THIS.. is the culmination of all your efforts, the big pay off. The PSN is down thread.

You're like the Palpatine of SW, that's pretty bad ass.

Let the hate flow through you gfxpipeline, it's all part of the master plan.

I'm your father btw.

I was going to buy Bloodborne digitally today, fuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuck!!!!!!!!!!!

:D Well, this is a nice time to catch up on my backlog of games on Steam and play some SP games on my PS4.

There's a nice flash sale on $1 games too!!!

And people pay for this shit.

That sucks, but definitely buy it man. It's easily one of the best games this gen.

Hopefully we get a free game for the inconvenience lol.

Well to be fair, PSN has improved a bit over its PS3 days

"Please understand, and take this free $15 game"

Hopefully Sony can fix it by the time SFV comes out.

95% chance its an indie game

Reading through this thread was a treat.

I can access the store, messaging system, party, and friend list. But this what it tells me when I try to play Rocket League online. "Authentication has failed with PlaystationTMNetwork Servers. Please try logging in again later."

Pretty much everything is up and running here, except Online games.

I still can't connect to anything, In Canada btw.

Maybe ill restart my PS4

I remember when lems used to boast about indie games. I guess they only count on Xbox lol.

I remember when XBLA indie games were Braid and Shadow Complex.

What region is your account?

I'd take Shovel Knight

Yeah, definitely get Bloodborne, absolutely worth the wait.

Conan, imagine if your PS3 had been fixed today, and you'd decided to buy and play Persona 4 digitally- With your lock with the game, I wouldn't have been surprised :p

i wanted to buy dead or alive and blazblue extended from the PSN holiday sale but now i cant, and the last day of the sale is tomorrow -___-

They'll probably extend the sale, I wouldn't worry about that.

It has nothing to do with region. I looked up reddit, others seem to be going through the same thing. https://www.reddit.com/r/playstation/comments/3zh89v/so_i_can_connect_to_the_playstation_store_on_my/

@ConanTheStoner: I can't wait to play it. Looks so fun.

@night-dreamers: Well, I wish I was one of the users who are able to go through >.>

And PSN+ being down for 3 days is unacceptable. Not glossing that over. That's bullshit. Even if I wasn't planning on playing tonight, it still sucks I was planning on it actually with my standing night of Destiny with @getyeryayasout. I cant fathom why it would be down that long, I hope it isn't and if it is all subscribers deserve something or an extra month free of the service. Not having a backup rudandacy plan is mind boggling. Maybe I'm missing something, but you would think after pst experiences Sony would of been prepared.

Guess not.

Worst part is, when this is resolved, all they'll say is "psn is back and the issue has been dealt with" without ever telling us wtf happened.

THIS is hilarious! LOL

Just checked my account online and realized I had my credit card in my account. Quickly removed that lol.

I'm gone for a few hours and everything starts falling apart, what the hell is going on?

Yooooo, PSN WORKS ON PS VITA #VitaMeansLife

No traffic on Vita :p

@charizard1605: Can you play online? Your wish has been granted, doe. God exists.

@NathanDrakeSwag: Even the hackers forgot about Vita :p

Accessed PSN Store, Trophies, online leaderboards in Velocity 2X, and LiveArea without any issues. Friends list wouldn't load at all, I am assuming neither does Party Chat.

This is all on Vita, PS3 and PS4 are completely inaccessible, as is the webstore.
