Strange. Definitely double check about it being the Primary console when it comes back up, also go to the PSN option in settings and hit Restore Licenses.
He won't, you should have seen his tirades in TLOUR threads prior to it launching.

What's stopping anyone DDoSing a website on a daily basis for a month? That could fuck up things.

I honestly don't and I was confused after just reading the thread title.
I don't know what to tell you. All my digital games are locked, which is bullshit considering they are single player.
Yes, it's my only PS4 - plus it was initially working fine this morning. I make lunch, come back, and all my digital titles are locked.
Again, for those who don't know how a DDoS attack works

Someone would catch on to them pretty quickly I assume.

Getting caught and your ass in jail
Is it easy to catch though when it's consistant? IP tracing and stuff I guess?
jesus god dude, stop.
some of the comments in this thread, like the one above, are totally unacceptable.

It is sad that someone probably has to work overtime (it is already night in japan, right ? ) to clean off this mess because those clowns want attention.

Weird. You both said it is set as your primary correct? I am primary and I tried TLoU and Wolfenstein (both physical) and a game shared digital copy of Infamous SS and all worked fine on both the main PS account and a sub account on the same system. Are you absolutely sure you're Primary?
If so seems like there's a bug or something. If it were some form of DRM, I wouldn't be able to play either.
Wolfenstein threw up a server error message but I just hit X and it let me play.
Getting caught and your ass in jail
Really? You can get jailed for this? I figured a fine would have sufficed lol
I just want free stuff yo D:
Again, I don't believe you because the system doesn't work like that. Either you didn't do something you thought you did (like have the account that bought them actually have the system registered as a primary) or you're lying about something else.
I won't call them "hacker" before knowing more about them, but the tricky part of a DDoS attack is not the attack itself, it's building a network extensive enough to be able to produce a huge number of requests at the same time. With most important network services, you usually won't break them with just two dozen computers if the servers are set up correctly.
So building the network (e.g. creating a large botnet) may require some tricks or technical knowledge. *may*... Too early to tell before details are more well-known.

Gotta make this about the console warz somehow.

Okay so I'm expecting Knack to be given out shortly for free with an immediate stability update.

Excellent analogy, this should be ammended to the OP.

A fine? You're burning millions of potential dollars from a company by doing this.
You think a major company would be ok with just a fine?
Yep, we're just lying. I'm the only user on this PS4 and it's my only PS4. Their system isn't working as intended at some level, and they should fix that shit.

You and I are in the same situation.
Pretty much nothing, DDOS attacks are very common. The perpetrators are frequently very hard to locate.
No. Prison time is absolutely warranted for denial of service attacks.

So if i buy my games from the US store to play on my UK account, and both my UK and US accounts are set to Primary, then the games should still offline from my UK account?
The only thing I can think of is that my US account isn't set to Primary...but I am almost 100% sure I have done this already.

This. I already miss them.
It depends heavily where they're living... I mean, there's a couple of "enterprises" on the internet that offer to conduct DDoS attacks in exchange of cash. Probably shady at best, but I'm pretty sure they don't face criminal charges where they live.i hope they enjoy prison

Some dude just got 33 months for filming and distributing Fast and Furious. These pricks have linked themselves to ISIS. It's not looking good for them if they get caught.
Did anything ever happen to those guys that hacked PSN?
I know a guy who is a programmer for some advertising agency, one that makes those digital screens you can find in shopping centers and whatnot.
I mean there up to date now just 6 hours late but ok. Hope to see it restored fast.
Anyway, despite the fact that some of their displays have to run on bank holidays & sundays, no one is actually in the office, instead a few people are "on-call" and when theres a problem they do everything from home through stuff like, 'logmein'.
Being a sunday, it wouldnt surprise me if theres currently a skeleton crew at Sonys datacenter if theres anyone at all. Chances are they're all trying to fix the issue from a distance.
Of course i have no idea how Sony works, but i'm just putting forward the idea. I'd assume this would have been fixed faster if it happened during week day open hours.
Embarrassing post. Nice work.
I think I just heard your mom calling you for dinner. Better go eat.

That, as well as the obvious attention-whoring that they are doing on their twitter are not what I consider reasons to deny me gaming time on my day off.
Would setting your ps4 as the primary console require the servers to be working? It seems to me like it would.
So for those of you that didn't have it set as your primary ps4, and then tried to set it while the servers are down, then it won't be set until they come back up.
I think. But it makes sense.

I've had my licenses bug out before so I'm not surprised some people are locked out of their games even with their system set as the primary one. A license refresh should fix the issue but since psn is down there's nothing they can do but wait.
