Speaking of this, what happened to the PSN coming up this week? Did the third major attack happen?

im just upset right now because i did an update to my google chrome browser and it logged me out of everywhere and now i cant comment on the official blog or on the playstation forums. i am left to observing 
first they had people hating on them for not giving a timeline and when they do and dont meet it people hate on them more. i believe they should just tell us that it will be back up soon and that it is for our benefit as they dont want this to happen again.
did they now? any sources or you just saying?
they saying the attack is worse than they believe and need more time (bs in my opinion) .. i dont think they should have given a date even if it was an estimate.

We still have no time frame on when the PSN will return due to internal testing.I guess one could always go load the OS++ system onto their PS3 slim for some fun times. 
OtherOS++ brings Linux back to the PS3, taunts Sony

Before you know it, Sony will be having a war with the people behind that next.

I never understood that other OS thing. I bought my PS3 only to play games. It seems to me the person who wants to run linux would have a few spare computers to do that with already and wouldn't need to bother buying a game console. Do these people even play games on them? If they bought it to use as a computer and now they can't I find that mighty hilarious.

I don't think Sony has been hit as hard as you have them out to be. The amount of consumers wouldn't change significantly. Their main problem would be the lack of revenue that would be coming from PSN if ti were up. I'm sure that all their fans will all be attracted back to PSN because of all the free content they are offering in return, and even more people will be hopping on the Sony bandwagon because of it.
Bankrupcy? You kidding me?

Sony's unlikely to be bankrupted by this PSN downtime. Sony's worth 32 billion in market equity, they have however lost 6% of value since the PSN downtime. Which is a significant amount.
Anybody who wishes to buy a Xbox360 in order to play online is welcome to do so, it's your money and Xbox has some fine games, but to say you'll abandon PSN is ridiculous, and you know you'll be back once PSN returns. If your buying an Xbox to play exclusive titles, fine, if your buying one in an attempt to punish Sony, that's silly. Sony's still selling PS3's even while PSN's down.

True, but apparently XBLs security is impossible to penetrate, hint hint
So was the us armies. That got breached.

Why!? They could make a whole load of sales just because people don't want to stick with Sony, but I don't see that happening either way.
Funny, I work in a supermarket and I asked the tech and electrical guys if we've sold any more Xbox 360s than usual, they said no. From that small bit of experience, I'm willing to bet most people don't have hundreds of pounds to throw at an Xbox, games and accessories just because of this. And if they did, they would have done so before PSN went down.
This is a huge embarrassment for Sony, but it's not a game changer. In fact most mother's and spouses are probably happy about it.

My girlfriend asked me last night if I was sick or something, because I haven't touched my PS3 since the outage started...
She was glad to hear that PSN is offline

Its not a PSN or XBL thing, but easily can have both. I enjoy both. The systems both have great exclusives. The online seems a bit better to me on XBL, the features it has that PSN doesn't cost you though. I can't wait for the PSN to be back up and other than some bad PR Sony should be unaffected.

I'm looking forward to PSN coming back for one reason among many. Online traffic should be a lot lighter thanks to all the weak hearts defecting to MSXBOX.
Hopefully the ones that leave are the ones who make online gaming a misery due to their stupidity.
You know the ones. Driving the wrong way around the track in an X2010 while everyone else is trying to drift.
Or, using the helicipter in GTA TBOGT to blow everyone and everything up like they own the place. Thats cool in a DM, but in Freemode? I like to take these guys out with the exsplosive sniper rifle.
I hope its back in time for LA Noire.

Fixed that for ya.👍 Halo's a crappy 360 exclusive.
But really, the only good 360 Exclusive, was Forza. and that's Only for the customization really. But yeah, you can leave if you want to, we don't care. I'll be laughing my ass off once XBL get's screwed over though. Fair is fair.
