PSN is down (Update: Back up)

Some people have very limited time to enjoy their hobbies, in addition to that this is a paid for service. The 'up' time should be 99.9x% 15 hours down time is not acceptable. This doesn't really affect me, but I'm sure there are lots of people out there whose plans for today are shot since the service isn't up and running.
We get the odd outage one or 2 days a year and we'll be watching the SuperBowl tomorrow anyway.

Far too much is made of this
 
That is literally the fastest way to get your PSN account perma banned. I look forward to your future thread claiming they banned you for no reason.
I mean I did it, I wasn't perma banned or banned at all, BUT, they wont accept my card on PSN anymore, I have to buy codes now if I buy anything on PSN.
 
Systems go down. Shit happens

The communiction is absolutely pathetic though. What a joke.


A free $70 game is the only fair compensation.

Tried to play some Diablo 4 yesterday with my wife and ended up playing It Takes 2 instead. Thanks Sony, thanks Blizzard.

The problem is people like me that have multiple PS5s. My primary isn't set as my primary so I can't play on my Pro unless I have a physical disc in, and no dlc installed.
My games work normally on the PS5 though (maybe it's because it's set as my primary console ?)
Played my digital copy of KCD2 for 4 hours then around 3 hours today on my Pro that is not my primary, so whatever is up I don't think it's the same for everyone. I can see friends online now same as I could early this morning, along with the games they're in. I don't pay for ps+ anymore because I don't need it so can't check anything that needs that.
PSN is hard down worldwide.
Not sure it's the same for everyone everywhere.
 
It's not all about you bruv, other people have higher standards.
I'm married too, but also have a Xbox Series X and so can play that

Maybe PlayStation fans need to remember that when they say they don't need a Xbox *rollseyes*

People on X are reporting the PS5 disc drive cannot be initialized without PSN being online. Solar panel bros must be in shambles. Better start working on a spoofed PSN to send the bits it needs to spin those discs.

Only to register your disc drive the first time, my pro is playing offline games on my disc drive just fine and I am 100% off the grid solar so

Be aware if you charge back on any online service (PSN, XBL at least) your account will be permanently banned and you'll lose all your games.
Not true at all, as I've said, I've done it. They will not accept my card anymore but I was never banned or lost access to anything. I just have to buy codes now when I want to buy off PSN.

Just have to make sure you're initialized before they pull the plug! Also saves money for anyone stashing a drive. I mean the reason to buy physical is to have a recourse for if/when the company activation servers are no longer online.

(Props on the off grid solar set up by the way. I'm a power generation dabbler too)

Very happy we did it as in Indiana have endured a few major ice events and one such the area was without power for nearly 2 weeks

After a few days we have to watch how much power we consume but also have enough power to heat the house, charge vehicle and make sure our food doesnt go bad and play on my consoles and pc (priorities and all)
