Yeah but they still haven't got laid. So technical they're still kids, right?

Is having sex at an early age some type of initiation into manhood these days?

 

[topplehat]

I still don't understand the point of this.

 

[Smurf]

Since both PSN and XBL are having issues, do we know for sure it's these little douchebags causing the problem? It s Chrsitmas Day, and tons of consoles have been sold.

We don't but you'd certainly hope that services aren't coming to a standstill from a regular and predicted spike in usage.

 

[Wynnebeck]

Beautiful. Always fun to watch someone get successfully called out as a hypocrite.

lol How is he being a hypocrite? There are people who will vehemently fight you tooth and nail that XBL is infallible, that their security is top notch and would never fall victim to the same trappings as PSN. Why? Because MS is a software company first. Of course it's going to be accepted that a software company is going to have an easier time combating shit like DDoS attacks and the like versus Sony who is a hardware company. This shows that guess what? MS is just as vulnerable as Sony. Pointing this out to people denying it before is not hypocrisy.

 

[vesvci]

If you're new to PSN on PS4 then I'd just get used to it being down sporadically. It's shit even when not getting attacked.

Shit post or joke post? I can't decide.

 

[biteren]

psn is down for me aswell, i tried to share the news and this is what i get...

with friends like these

Well ddosing servers certainly isn't.

 

[DJSebolski]

So you can't even play any single player games when the service is down? WTF?

 

[rosaceadude2112]

I would turn off the internet connection. Should let you play, at least.

thanks. just got this thing so I'm still figuring out the kinks

 

[vesvci]

We don't but you'd certainly hope that services aren't coming to a standstill from a regular and predicted spike in usage.

This happened last year as well, if I remember correctly. Tons of consoles sold as well.

I think these shitheads know it and want unearned credit.

What?

 

[Hitchey]

Hmmm is everyone sure that Nintendo Network is running ok? Trying to use their store and anytime I get to a list of games, the prices won't display and a server is busy error pops up

 

[jetjevons]

So is their validity to their claims or isn't there? I'm confused.

 

[checkeredknight]

Is this why ground zeroes freezes at the main menu on the ps4? 'cause i know it checks the konami servers for updates and leaderboards around that time.

last of us remastered doesn't seen to want to start either

Settings > PSN > Sign Out.

It sucks, but it works.

As many others have posted, this simply isn't true. Yet to have issues with PSN.

 

[Doctor_Thomas]

thanks. just got this thing so I'm still figuring out the kinks

Settings > Network

Untick Connect to the Internet.

Hope that works, anyway.

 

[Glorious Ownage]

What?

Mirroring this. Psn is always having problems. I almost regret doing playstation as my multiplat console this gen

 

[Hex]

Shit post or joke post? I can't decide.

I think you forgot the letters "er" there somewhere

 

[karasu]

Devils! This is the only day I can take my system online and it's ruined! Sink me, it's ruined!

 

[Beefy]

So is their validity to their claims or isn't there? I'm confused.

I reckon it is both down to them DDosing and new users trying to log in.

 

[R0ckman]

How long did this last the year prior?

 

[Lavalamp1138]

PSN appears to be working for me. I just installed my new Far Cry 4 and I'm downloading a 600 mb update. I'll keep you guys posted. I live in north Georgia btw

 

[petethepanda]

Assholes. I want to play some Fibbage.

 

[Malcolm9]

Enough with the shit posting please, PSN is pretty stable apart from the regular maintenance, this kind of attack can't be helped.

 

[Deadly Joker]

Assholes. I want to play some Fibbage.

Me too!

 

[Beefy]

Is it? This is the second time it has been down for a few hours for me. What would you call always having problems?

 

[IceDoesntHelp]

What is even the point of this, what do they gain?

Seriously a bunch of assholes.

 

[postcyberpunk]

Well, duh.

 

[Links_fantasy]

Nintendo's games are the ones which rarely need patching too. Good luck trying to play a Ubisoft game without a patch.

 

[Icyflamez96]

I'm pissed man I was trying to play some Sound Shapes community levels for the first time

 

[Simply Sami]

It's been having problems ever since Destiny launched. You'd have to be ignorant to ignore them.

 

[pelican]

LOL

My PSN in the past 3 months

- Unable to download or access pre-order DLC
- Unable to restore licenses
- Unable to download pre-ordered games due to error.

While all these matters have been resolved it isn't due to Sony's support who have still yet to deal with my ticket I submitted 5 weeks ago - it is due to the advice from GAF members and Reddit.

Oh, and for the past 3 weeks I've not been able to delete messages.

Is this a US thing or something? UK PSN has rarely failed me and I'm on pretty regular. I had a few bumps at launch and the following month or two but found out there was an error in communication in the router as my friends on the same ISP had the exact same issue and once that was sorted out it's been smooth sailing ever since. Plus my internet is atrocious in both stability and speed all around yet it still gets by.

 

[lighthouse777]

I am logged into Xbox one, because I logged in early this morning
but as with others everything else is down, but I signed in before it went down
I just now signed into my Xbox 360, and the 360 is up, just the One for me anyways, is down
off go play borderlands

will try the PS4 later today

 

[RdN]

Live is back up for me.

Enough with the shit posting please, PSN is pretty stable apart from the regular maintenance, this kind of attack can't be helped.

Please, sign me up for this special PSN you are part of. My experience with it on the PS4 is horrendous, can't go a week without having problems.

 

[Dunlop]

Yeah how dare you post your opinion based off of your personal experience!

 

[Beefy]

Not for everyone it hasn't. Not everyone will have the same problems. I get some people will have major issues with PSN, but others won't. I am just lucky I guess.

 

[TylerDurden4321]

Yeah but they still haven't got laid. So technical they're still kids, right?

It used to be build a house, get a kid, plant a tree.
Now it's just getting laid? seriously man, wtf?

Also: Fuck normative BS like being "a man".

..and while I'm on it, fuck those pricks for DDoSing christmas of happy children and my sunset overdrive session.

 

[OverBlood 3]

The eshop was down. I'll check if its back up.

edit: its up

 

[Noobcraft]

Xbox live has been up for me for the past half hour or so.

 

[Zeyphersan]

XBL was back up for me, at least the store and code redemption

 

[Truelize]

Is having sex at an early age some type of initiation into manhood these days?

Only replying because I think this question is funny.
But yes, having sex/losing your virgintiy has long been considered when a boy becomes a man. Not just "these days". But back when people rode dinosaurs and faught Dragons also. Still today many tribal cultures use sex as a step in their ritual practices to entering manhood.

It used to be build a house, get a kid, plant a tree.
Now it's just getting laid? seriously man, wtf?

See above.

 

[Lavalamp1138]

Scratch that, PSN down for me again. At least I managed to patch up Far Cry so I can play it without worrying about any issues it may have.

 

[Broank]

I can't sign into my profile on xbox one and all the games and apps i try seem to require being signed in to use at all. Sucks.

Strangely 360 everything seems to work and i can sign in no problem.

 

[boredandlazy]

It's been having problems ever since Destiny launched. You'd have to be ignorant to ignore them.

But what if we don't have problems? Are we still ignorant?

 

[Creaking]

I just want stinking TLoU: R to start downloading while I'm out hiking. Can't even get on the web store to redeem it.

 

[R0ckman]

How long did this last the last Christmas day?

 

[DrKelpo]

want to redeem my ps4 christmas theme, but the store is down...... fuckers.

 

[Grisby]

Getting just a blue screen when trying to enter the PS4 store. Nothing under the what's new tab either. In Florida.

 

[Upinsmoke]

Lizard Squad and Finest Squad are the same fucking people.

It's like clockwork.
