Then why is PSN down?

I just wanna start downloading the damn thing
Depends how you look at it. When signing up for an online service, I have a reasonable expectation that it will be a reliable service. A few hiccups are acceptable, but prolonged service outages are not. As the customer, I don't really care the cause.

So, money and tons of servers will stop DDoS attacks?

In the US we can't preload yet :'(
Because someone else did it.
As the thread title points out, not just PSN. But that aside, it's a matter of scale. Any service can be DDoSSed it's just a matter of what the scale needs to be to overwhelm the servers. We already damn well know that there are more servers behind azure, and by extension XBL, then PSN.
CST, by any chance? I'm wondering if it's just one range of servers. I'm USA EST, and the web-store login is still down.
Everyone still says mum and to not hear of it being said is very very strange.

Don't give him any ideas.
I'm not an expert, but it appears that way. One tweet said he couldn't get through to msoft due to multiple data centers.

Get a grip.
I signed into my XBL account on Xbox.com a few minutes ago and I got an "Xbox Live Service alert" appearing in the banner at the top that shows that same message that's being quoted. Update message might be a couple of days old, but that banner alert is still active right now.
With all that's going on it's not like the confusion is hard to understand.
DDoS = "hacked"?

How dare you suggest such a thing. I'm outraged!
Take this PSN outtage as an opportunity to open the door and go outside, because you clearly need a second hobby. Calm down.
If he DDoS'd those others data centers too it would be game over. Microsoft has the datacenters also for other stuff in the regions.

I like free stuff.
I unfortunately think that's going to happen anyways. DDoS seem to happen all the time now with big online releases.
Right, but having multiple data centers at least makes it harder doesn't it?

Huh?
Oh, okay. You made a joke that's already been made several dozen times. I simply thought it was more likely for someone to not be informed than stupid enough to think that was still somehow funny. Happy now?

This is so fucking annoying. My friend has my account as primary so we can share games, so I can't play a god damned thing. Had to happen on my day off too.
Just the message you quoted and response confused me viewed in isolation is all.
Who is he trying to impress?
No I just messed up because of everyone else saying "hacked"
Think the guy he quoted corrected himself in edits afterwards
No, EST as well.
I will quote myself again. They don't know anything. An IP lookup is not proof.

Considering that is their proof. I don't think they know anything.

They really did pick a perfect day to fuck with us b
Probably the best way to handle a distributed attack is to distribute your own services. Sony take notice?
Also, if a service is being interrupted by any third party on purpose, the third party (a.k.a assholes) should pay for the potential revenue loss from the loss of operation of the said service. Like, they'd need to sell their bodies for the rest of their lives to pay for it. And I'm not even counting the fake bomb threat for airlines.
If anyone is doing this for shits and giggles, they should be shitting among giggling inmates for a respectable amount of time.
Also, I'm still not being able to sign on.
