LIZARD SQUAD is Back. Planning XBL Attack. "Biggest attack yet". [UP: XBL/PSN Down]

This little pissing match is rather pathetic.


a bunch of dweebs shit talking over twitter and not actually doing anything is so damn lame.

The number of non-reliable tweets should be limited. One is enough. We should consider the reliability of our source and go from there. Let them post imgurs of each other flipping the bathroom mirror off.
 
Actually 2, but like I said, hopefully it doesn't come to this, but PS3 owners know, we've been here before. Like someone already posted above, if you just do the straight math, we're "owed" less than $1 at this point.

I was simply asking at what point would we, as consumers, be entitled to demand some type of compensation for the loss of a service we're paying for? Weeks? Months?

Certainly wasn't saying they owe us anything for 2 days.

I'll take compensation for the PTO I took today so I could play the games I got with my bro over the holidays. I'd rather have just gone back to work and not be behind.
 
"Hacker Warz"

The story of 2 hacker groups trying to stop each other, but in the process one member of group 1 (lizard squad) falls in love with a member of group 2 (finest) , and to be together forever they must expose each other for true love. but right before that happens theres a twist in which they were actually the same group all along, found out by a larger hacker commissioned by the free masons.

The real twist comes, when it's revealed the free masons did it all, to highlight the problems with ethics in game journalism.
 
bless your heart two my bad, still we dont deserve compensation for an attack you can't prevent in the first place

I understand where you're coming from and what you're saying and I kind of agree but if you see it like this, person paid for service for X amount of time, some dick hole fucks over the provider which leads to person losing a small amount of the time he paid for. The person who lost the small amount of time because of dick hole has a point in wanting that time back because that time is paid for. Will or should that person get that time back from the provider even though the provider wasn't at fault? I don't know.
 
Doesn't Lulzsec just do it for the Lulz?

I could have sworn it was Anonymous who did it because of something to do with the removal of Linux from PS3...

Maybe I was just a filthy casual back then :/

So much more going on than just pressing F5 and using a botnet on our end.

Yup. I can't watch any of my TV shows without a connection. I didn't even see a download option.

I bought a season of American Horror Story too.

oh i agree i see both perspectives as well to the point where the customer can complain I would say a service has to be down at least a solid week then you can maybe talk compensation etc. free week trial playstation plus etc. I just see some people scream i deserve this I should get this etc feeling they should be entitled more than what they are offered. (not saying saw it here however)
 
There is no "right" to get something in return. If Sony deems they need some good PR, they might offer something in return. If you decide this is wholly unacceptable, contact them and tell them you want to cancel PS+ or don't re-subscribe. There is no entitlement involved or set time frame that has to pass before they are required to give you free shit.
At some point they owe you recompense for the downtime though. You paid for a service they're failing to deliver. What is it? 20 cents a day?
 
This is all very intriguing. Sucks that people were affected (I didnt have any time to game on Christmas) but keeping up with all of this is keeping me very entertained on a long night shift at work.
 
Offering someone 20 cents is far more patronizing than offering them nothing.
Actually of you add up all the days this year that PSN has been down I think it comes to at least a few bucks which I'd gladly take. The maintenance days are by far the worst. Just purposely scheduling during the day when people are getting off work and ready to play. So stupid.
 
Another question is why does Twitter even allow these types of people with accounts? Surely it can't be that hard to permanent ban them.

It would always be during someones day. Maintenance will always be inconveniencing to someone. But at least maintenance is shorter.
 
Giving out 2 free days of Playstation Plus to current subscribers would be reasonable and appropriate. Blizzard does similar when they have server problems.

I agree. This would be a reasonable goodwill gesture. People asking for anything more are being unreasonable and trying to capitalize on a shitty situation.

If anything the authorities love that twitter is used. At least it leaves some sort of trail to dig at. So if twitter is working with authorities then they'll let the communication slide for awhile.
