Random aside for those that are interested, Neflix on your PS3 should still work just fine. I suppose the functionality might be model specific, so JIC I'm confirming this for the new 160GB Slim model.
Anyway attempt to boot NF as normal. During the loading process it will ask you to sign onto the PSN, of course this will fail, however as you close the error message screen you should see that NF is still loading. After fully loading a popup might/will display stating that the PSN is required for NF to run. Let it try logging in again and after canceling out of the PSN error notice NF should be fully functional. Hope this helps some of you 👍.

@ryanurch I couldn't care less about Sony. I don't know who's claiming responsibility for it. Sorry, can't help.

I was able to get on Netflix earlier even though I wasn't signed into PSN. I opened Netfix, it tried to load and said I must be signed into PSN. It asked if I wanted to and I said yes and it gave me the same message again and again in a loop, no option to cancel. All of a sudden the movie selection screen came up when I opened the XMB to quit Netflix. I watched the beginning of Hot Tub Time Machine so it did work. I'm going to try it again tonight.
Edit: Apparently this is how it's always worked. Good to know.

In a month I've got 11 people coming here from across the country at their own expense to play GT5 with each other in my garage. In order to play this quasi-LAN mode, I need all the machines connected to PSN.
If it'd have been today, I'd have been pretty 🤬 off, though at least I'd be at my house and hadn't spent a billion pounds in fuel getting here.

So even PS3 setups require network access these days to run what use to just be a LAN? That is hassle - the professional StarCraft community has had some issues with that at MLG and GSL over the past year.
I'm more just harping on people for calling hackers lifeless virgins that are nerds when they are posting on a gaming forum about how they can't play with imaginary cars on the Internet.

Check out the dialogue on Anon's facebook. Quite humurous.

No, it's about not being able to use the PSN network when I want to. Yes it sucks to not be able to race tonight but when I can't even sign in to check messages or watch Netflix - anything PSN related, that's when I get pissed off!!

The part of the song he was referring to is sung by Sting, the 'I want my MTV' line. So why you have Mark Knofpfler in your head is for your own reasons.

Fail. I don't understand why developers are doing this so much these days. At least with consoles, people have to own the disc anyhow, so it isn't like the PC gaming concern where people will just LAN or emulate LAN for pirated copies of a game.
They apparently have the know how to do so, thus they can. And Sony apparently lacks a way to address it, so that is that. It is a hassle but that is just how things are sometimes. I was mostly just irritated over the absurd amount of assumptions being labeled on hackers.

Gsus, PSN i still down & it looks like for some days. 
Is there ANY way to take my b-Spec drivers down from online status? Reloading a old gamesave where all drivers are offline, then quitting & overwriting it with the actually gamesave or something like that?
Or contacting Anonymous to hack it? Then they can use their skillz for something useful.

I wonder if anonymous have T-shirts like the Nexus and hit people over the head with chairs?
