In international standard ISO-8601 the International Organization for Standardization (ISO) has decreed that Monday shall be the first day of the week.
 
In the most of western world, monday IS considered first day of week...
But in fact, in Japan, SUNDAY is considered first day in week...!!

End of discussion..!
:ouch:
 
It not hard to understand, people on here are just trying to trivialise it.

Because it is trivial. All calenders in digital format have the option to start the week on Sunday or Monday, and many calenders use to do that no more than 15 years ago. I'm 25 and I'm fully aware that Sunday use to be considered the start of a week, which is why some religious dominations have their day of worship on Saturday. The modern work week is a relatively new development and it became more straight forward to start a week on Monday due to that.

You are incorrect sir. In Japan the start of the working week is Monday.

Sunday is considered as the first day of the full 7-day week, in Japan..!
But yes, monday is the first business-day.. but what does that have to do with the ongoing discussion of the worthing "this week" as said on the press-conference??
The words was said on a sunday, so certainly, it is not in regarding to business-days.. Or what do you reckon, sir?

And I'd recon you can't read properly?

Look at what I posted. Hell, click on the clock on your computer, I live in the US of A and my windows clock defaults to having Sunday as the first day of the week.

Just because school days start on Monday doesn't mean the week does in the rest of the world.

Well guess what I just clicked on my windows clock and the default is Monday. (shock horror)

I guess then by your judging the week must start on a Monday since windows clock says so.

How many accounts have you got?

I reckon we should bring in the spelling recon.

And Sunday starts every week, OK?

And also, remember...

Don't abuse or we lose this thread.

Not that I really follow it that much, anyway. :dunce:
 
LOL @ people. To me if someone says "in a week" or "by next week", it means up to 7 days from that day usually. The Neyflix guy on the phone said PSN would be up within a week a couple hrs ago.. I took that to mean within seven days.

Some of that probably gets lost in translation anyway. "By next week" could mean one thing and "within a week", something completely different. You wonder if that even comes though the translation.. it was translated right? I never saw it.
 
I can understand them doing this for the free 30 days to stop people downloading free stuff en masse, but is this also true for normal PSN+ subscribers? If so, that's terrible!

It's true even for regular PSN Plus users, pre-outage. Just like certain demos, the games you download completely free have an expiration date, after which they can no longer be launched. This expiration date is the expiration date of your PSN Plus subscription, and as long as you keep renewing it you'll be able to play these games.

But remember that only applies for games that they give away for free. If you buy discounted games, you'll get to keep them forever.

Q: What happens when my PlayStation Plus subscription ends?

A: The content you have downloaded as part of your PlayStation Plus subscription at no charge is only accessible as long as you are an active subscriber. The exceptions are free themes and avatars, which you will continue to have access to, even if you are no longer a subscriber. Anything you have purchased (even if you purchased it at a discount) will remain available to you even if your subscription ends.

You've still completely missed the point - the option is there for a reason.

According to the Hebrew calendars, traditional Christian calendars and the Islamic calendar, Sunday is literally the "first day" of the week. According to international standard ISO 8601 Sunday is the seventh and last day of the week.
Sunday is a day of rest in many countries of the world, part of 'the weekend'. In most Muslim countries, and Israel, Sunday is a working day.

You can argue you all you want, but the fact is Sunday was historically and in many places of the world, still is the first day of the week.

And I have 1 account :lol:

I knew I messed something up there. Or did I? :sly:

I reckon that someone with 20 infraction points should take a little more care with the manner in which they post.

Stop trying to drag this thread off-topic with a pointless discussion that seems to simply illustrate a desire to not be wrong, or I will ensure that your membership of this site comes to a rather abrupt end.

I think we can all accept Sony's apology, wit hall the bonuses we'll all be getting in return for being patient. Still, PSN went down the day before my holidays began, and my holidays end tomorrow, so ,if it does go up by Monday, i'll get 1 day before I go back to school. If not, then this holiday is ruined. :ouch:

Right, so because I do not agree with your point of view you get heavy handed and start making threats. What a joke. You seemed to enjoy participating in this "pointless" discussion, in fact your contribution is partly the reason this whole Sunday/Monday thing dragged on as far as it has, but thats ok, because your a mod you can do whatever.

That paragraph will probably get me barned now, but whats good for the goose is good for the gander. Don't make a post like that and expect me not to defend myself.
If you wanted to discuss my infractions a PM would have been sufficient. Thanks,

If the Tuesday rumors are true, I would probably wait until Wednesday to sign in because of the huge number of people signing in. I would just download and install the firmware update via USB. This applies to any day PSN is back up anyway.

Would you guys say the "new" servers can handle more simultaneous traffic?

I'd say Sony will have taken this opportunity to upgrade the servers, so there should be less lag now. But this is just my opinion.

Can the talk about which day of the week is which please end. It's adding nothing to the conversation. Thankyou.

You neither agree nor disagree with my point of view. If you took the time to actually read what I posted you would see that I have clearly stated that it can be considered to start on either a Sunday or Monday.

Oh look ....
Its also a total distraction from the point that the week can be considered to start on either a Sunday or a Monday, given that the statement that they hope to have things running (to a degree) this week could be considered to mean the week running 1st to 7th May.

Given when the press conference was held (the 1st) its also the most likely (see Occam's Razor).

Feel free to disagree (subject to the AUP) but in the end I'm a lot less likely to end up angry and disappointed as a result of my interpretation of 'this week'.

...but you had no intention of leaving it at that and dragged the discussion on for yet more pages.

Not to mention that this...

STIG_RS6
I rekon Japan is over rated.

....drags this off-topic even further.


That leaves a choice, either the pointless discussion (and given that its now Monday it is a pointless discussion) ends or those that choice to continue discussing it leave.

The AUP states the following:

AUP
You will, if asked by a representative of the forums, cease posting any content.

You can consider that as heavy handed and power mad as you like, but that doesn't change the fact that this particular topic of discussion ends now.

I found an English translated stream of that conference on YT in 7 parts.. The user name was jorg197. I'm downloading now to my PS3 from PS3Youtube..

Anyway, if someone wants to watch it on their PS3 browser, that's how. I noticed someone earlier in this thread say that the streaming site didn't work on the PS3 browser...
 
That's fine, that's all that needed to be said. Have a nice Bank Holiday.

PS Did you guys hear about Bin Laden..... just kidding.

Are you serious?

Anyway, I've been checking all day. I can't wait for online to come back up. I've been Bob-less for what seems like so long. All 6 Bobs and my FGT and X1 are set to online. I got a headset the day before PSN went pop! I was charging it and haven't tried it yet. Come on, hurry up! It's worse than the day before GT5 was released. I've been buying and hotting up all sorts of crappy cars to show my brother online.
