It's all fake and confusing. Fake info, fake/real/other ddoses, fake "hacking", fake bomb scares.
Take everything with a pinch of salt.

So I downloaded Last of Us from PSN the other day and I noticed that I can't play it...(It gets stuck at a screen that says "Please Wait"). Am I stuck waiting until PSN is back online? :/

It says it's being hammered by a million simultaneous connections at once overloading the service preventing anyone from accessing the service.
You know, the definition of what a Distributed Denial of Service attack.
To break it down in laymen terms.
It's like trying to converge a five lane highway packed with cars into two smaller lanes things slow down to a complete halt. Nothing moves, no one is going anywhere.
In the case of a DDoS, it's someone intentionally generating a massive amount of internet traffic all at once for the intention of preventing anyone from getting access.
Having "better" security does not prevent this. Having more servers to the point that not all of them are hit at once is a different matter.
unplug your ethernet cable or disconnect wireless. This allowed me to play my free copy of infamous second son. Just got my ps4 a week ago too. ugh.

And the situation gets even more interesting as Unknownsec (what seems like a Grey Hat group) goes after Lizard Squad: https://www.facebook.com/unknownsec
Unplug your console from the internet.

I felt the spirit of this post.
Unplug your Ethernet cable, I've been able to play digital games on my ps4 no problem
Eh.....there are ways, appliances etc. to fight and defend against ddos attacks, but whatever.
Tried pulling the ethernet cable?

If you are trying to play single player. Go over to settings, network, and uncheck the box. It worked for my digital games

There is a long loading screen the first time you start it. After waiting a few minutes a percentage should show up in place of the "Please Wait..."
Why are you even asking? He clearly doesn't.
Such as?
Just disconnect from the internet in network settings and you should be able to play dude. Works for me, I'm playing Hotline Miami right now (provides the perfect soundtrack while reading this thread)

Anyone having a problem where you can't move around the PS4 ui? It loads up to the home screen and I see my list of games but can't move around the menu.

Guns is what I'm getting from this post.
Nope you would probably need to make it primary.

Why doubt him? These people crave attention so if it's not him then he's really on point taking credit for everything with exposing the Lizards and then making his video on YT and everything. If it's not him or he's not involved at all then you'd think the person actually doing it would step up and do the same thing Fame did to the Lizards.
People, me included, have noticed some slow downs and disconnects on XBL but for the post part it's up and running as usual. Are we supposed to be naive enough to think it's just a coincidence and not just a failed attempt at the same thing when the guy said he was going to try? Why would MS be left alone when a bunch of other companies in the industry are getting hit by it?
