Exactly.
I should have added that the net was taken down earlier to allegedly "fix" the problem, so you can't access it at all.
Hopefully, they will have it back up and stable soon!

Point of fact... it's not the Home 1.5 update. They already released the 1.5 update yesterday before the PSN servers went down. In fact, I already downloaded the 1.5 update several hours before the PSN went down.
Also, it's very rare that they shutdown the PSN servers for maintenance. Only the Home servers get shutdown each week every thursday morning at precisely midnight PST, and in no way has this ever effected the PSN servers.
I suspect, like many others, due to the previous attacks by Anon that continually brought down the PSN servers, that either this is yet another attack, and or Sony is making a major change to protect their servers from future attacks.
Keep in mind, just because Anon claims they have called a truce... doesn't mean they really have.

Good to know my internet isn't messed up. I'm glad I completed the seasonals last night!

Ummmm, sure we'd all like to have seen more from the finished product that is GT5 but are you actually saying that the PSN being (supposedly) hacked and disabling online functions for all PS3 users worldwide is justified because you're not happy with one game?
Where's the perspective here?

The seasonals are a 25 minute affair, every 2 weeks. Nothing to speak of.No psn messages, no online gaming, no b-Spec remote, no trading, no online glitching, you can't milk your online b-Spec drivers, ...
Dam you Sony, if i where a Premium+ subscriber, i would cash you, like i did with my internet provider, for the outage.

Seasonals, trades, museum, login bonus items, remote races, B-spec (am I the only with Bobs lost in cyberspace?), OCDs. There are many features related to ps servers.

correct me if im wrong but it seems to be a group of hackers thats pissed of about some legal actions that sony did against their buddies and that they think that sony tries to control their users.
even though i think that what they did is wrong i do understand why they did it.
i can think of hundreds of companies that i want to do the same thing against cause they think that they own the world or something like that.

You won't be able to connect to the PSN at this time. You can still access the PS3's web browser because it is not dependant on the PSN functionality. In other words, you do not need to create a PSN account to launch the web browser, but you need a PSN account to access the PS Store and play games online (as well as Netflix, etc.). The PSN will be down for a while, at least for North America, Europe, and Australia. No word on Japan. Everyone will be getting that error code, so expect it.

That's right, and it was clearly removed because of Geohot and hackers like those involved with Anon who used that feature to hack and exploit the PS3 and pirating copy protected content, like games and movies.
So it's ironic that they are the ones attacking Sony for removing the feature that they themselves caused the feature to get removed... because they chose to disregard laws for their own self interests.
Yes, I was disappointed that they removed the 3rd party OS support feature, although very few people ever even used that feature... until hackers figured a way to use it to get free games and movies that is.
However, I completely understand why Sony removed it. In fact, it would have been a really foolish decision not to considering how vulnerable their copy protection was once it got hacked.
Frankly, I'm surprised it took so long for the 3rd party OS support to get hacked, so at least for those that were using that feature the way it was intended, they were able to use it for over three years... which is still three more years than any other console offering any 3rd party OS support feature.
So basically, if you are truly upset about the removal of the 3rd party OS support, then blame the hackers for causing it to get removed.
I actually feel bad for people like George Hotz (Geohot) and others like him, as they are clearly quite talented, but instead of creating something with that talent, all they seem to want to do is exploit other people's work. Sad really.

I'm not upset about it as I never used it, I just responded to someone saying "if you want the feature buy a pc" I do think it was a poor thought out move on Sony's part to include it, as you said their security was vulnerable and such. I guess making things sound to good to be true is a common marketing practice, or promising things you can't deliver, or only deliver for a short time is ok.
I think of the anon and whoever else crowd as a silly nuisanse but I also blame Sony for being an irresponsible company. 2 pence.

Not only are some of my drivers lost in cyberspace, but I also discovered that there is no way of turning off the share option for any of the 6 cars I have set to share online, and thus until the PSN goes back online, those cars are also lost in cyberspace as well.
Seems to me PD might want to consider adding the ability to turn off sharing of drivers and cars without being connected online, so in cases like this, or for those that have problems with their ISPs and or are without an internet connection for a long period of time, can still use all of their drivers and cars.

As of 10 minutes ago, the latest update from playstation themselves
As you are no doubt aware, the current emergency outage is continuing this afternoon and all Sony Online Network services remain unavailable. Our support teams are investigating the cause of the problem, including the possibility of targeted behaviour by an outside party. If the reported Network problems are indeed caused by such acts, we would like to once again thank our customers who have borne the brunt of the attack through interrupted service.
Our engineers are continuing to work to restore and maintain the services, and we appreciate our customers' continued support. For further information, please refer to updates on PlayStation.com, here on PlayStation.Blog and via our @PlayStationEU twitter feed.
Seems it's going to be down for many hours to come...

The other OS option sucked to begin with. The biggest reason is that the OS is operated in a virtual environment, meaning the OS didn't have direct access to the hardware. It was similar to running an OS in say VirtualBox or Virtual PC.
Also, Zach could you post the link to that message please?

Yes, just like the limited use web browser, but both for relatively good reasons, and that was security, and not just for Sony, but also for us regardling malicious viruses, mallware, etc.
Although the biggest issue with the web browser is Adobe's lack of support in offering any flash update for it.

Stupid Hackers. Why ruin it for everyone else because they can't run 'homebrew' (cough, cough) on their PS3's? I hope someone can trace them and deal with them.

Indeed there are, but i don't care for online racing, milking my Bobs or any of that. i want races, something that was abundant in 4 but a rarity in 5.
I have reached level 40 and completed all races for B-spec. A-spec i have raced the first 2 races in endurance and i am stuck for lack of a save feature and can't complete the rest. but even if i do...what then if there are now seasonals?
I have started the game over 3 times and have given up 3 times because i just can't be arsed to grind away again.
I completed (100%) GT4 took me well over 8 months the first time, i did it 3 more times until my PS2 gave up the ghost, but i will be buying another PS2 very soon (or a ps3 fat) just so i can play 4 again....
No PSN, does that not show just how limited GT5 is?

Indeed it does. GT5 career mode pales in comparison with its predecessors. On many levels.
meanwhile, apparently the info from playstation EU has been reaching the public mainly trough this thread in their official forums, so take a look.
