I pay to be able to play online.

I'm getting really tired of this shit, Sony.

I imagine that they feel the same way.

Write your relevant elected rep about your passion for the security of the online marketplace and the need for stricter laws and more enforcement of any existing DDoS laws.

That's more likely to affect the situation than complaining here and has the added bonus of focusing on what is blameworthy - inadequate focus on protecting the online marketplace.

 

[Ricker]

Or go here.

That is not really Live though, it still says updated 12/25/2014...PSN engineers are still are on their XMas hangovers,give them a break...

And what do you suggest Sony does about DDoS attacks? Not much they can do, even though people are paying.

 

[BigDug13]

Are they going to extend these sales that nobody can access? I was hoping to buy cheap BF4.

 

[Daffy Duck]

I've sold my PS4, I can't even login to the sony site to deactivate it, would this stop the buyer registering the console to a new account?

 

[Raptor]

24 Hours and Im not able to download my game, the only thing left to do is complain here lol.

 

[SAiLO]

Even when the site is up you won't be able to deactivate it. You have to do it from the console itself.

The buyer won't be able to access PSN anyway so it hardly matters at this stage. Just wait it out until this is over

Joy. Do we know when they may decide enoughd enough?

Lol too true.

 

[Jacksonlee]

LOL purchased a ps4, coming to my house next week...but.. really?

 

[Obeso]

Tonight kid and wife are sleeping so I have my time for some Da:I. Psn down, cannot verify the license, aff...

 

[Edvardelis]

Tried Vita remote play... Failed.

I have one as well. Can't even play my Playstation Plus games unless I put it into airplane mode.

 

[VincentMatts]

Man i was on 15 minutes ago, should have stayed logged in!

 

[hardvibes]

I just renewed the PS plus to discover this sh1t.....

 

[Kain]

In EU, it's working for me right now. Just logged in and started downloading Deadly premonition, let's see if it works...

 

[The One and Done™]

Sony typically reimburses people in some way when this happens. Hella annoying though

 

[Hugstable]

Tried Vita remote play... Failed.

I already had mine set up, but I was able to do Remote Play yesterday for some reason, played about 2 hours of Child of Light on RP last night.

Don't be a dick this isn't sonys fault

 

[Nicktendo86]

Very disappointing that after opening my ps4 yesterday I still can't get onto PSN. I know ddos attacks are difficult to counter but when you pay for a service outage like this (and as often as it seems to happen) are really not acceptable.

 

[Warnen]

I'm getting the destiny shakes...

I just need 1 daily and a few bounties! Just a taste! I swear won't do a strike honest!




Seems when ever school lets out this crap happens, kids these days. Oh well.

 

[CaptainTiptop]

I'm rather surprised that remote play requires PSN to be up.

It... doesn't? I completely disconnected my PS4 from the internet last night and was remote playing using direct connection.

 

[GHG]

I can see that people don't really understand what is happening here.

If it was general server outages I'd understand people being annoyed at Sony/Microsoft.

 

[Pandora012]

Tonight kid and wife are sleeping so I have my time for some Da:I. Psn down, cannot verify the license, aff...

Either use primary account or just keep the Ps4 logged out.

 

[thatJohann]

If I buy AC Unity can I still download the 6gb patch? Or do I need PSN to work in order to get the patch?

 

[Effigenius]

Tonight kid and wife are sleeping so I have my time for some Da:I. Psn down, cannot verify the license, aff...

Go into settings and disable the internet connection. You should be able to play the campaign.

 

[Catdaddy]

I installed y'day DA:I and it downloaded the patch, and went straight into the game after that, showed PSN was down because couldn't connect to Dragon Age Servers which require PSN..

So unless my timing for dloading the patch was impeccable ........maybe???

 

[LAM09]

Cannot believe I still can't get online. The PS app is working though.

 

[Lulu23]

Downloads come from the developer's/publisher's server so they work (downloaded all BF4 expansions today). To initiate downloads you might need to be signed in to PSN though, as I had to with my DLC this morning.

If it's a patch it might work nonetheless, because you don't initiate those downloads from the store.

 

[SlickShoes]

I started 4 downloads on the 23rd, came home today and thought they had all completed but no. Diablo3 had completed, it had also downloaded the polish version. Call of duty had a diablo splash screen and icon, and would crash the system when started. Injustice and the last of us said they were installed but clearly weren't and they had to be deleted as starting them would again crash the system.

I now can't connect to try to download anything.

Fully aware this isn't sonys fault really but they should be crediting people with free days on their subs for issues like this.

 

[Hahs]

This is the best way people. Vote for more stringent laws on existing DDoS

 

[DjRalford]

Sonys fault or not, Joe public only sees Psn staying down and people telling them Xb1 is working.

This happens too often and they can kiss their lead goodbye,no point having the best place to play if people can't actually play when it matters to them.

 

[Joeki11a]

Patience is being tested, I bet if is Tuesday and this isnt fix people will begin to go wild
If they take it all the way into 2015 people will go nuts.

 

[ggnoobIGN]

This is absolutely pathetic sony

But it's not been...

I've not been able to get onto either properly all day.

Although I did give up a few hours ago so it may have changed.

 

[The One and Done™]

Um.....

 

[Bluekaveli]

I wanted to do remote play with my cousin on killzone :-( Fuck me.

 

[DrM]

Hm, what does it state in ToS about downtime and stuff?

Rented theat game for my Xbox ONE, and on that system I cant even log into my account unless I go offline. I prefer to remain connected, to grab all the updates etc prior to starting the game. Such a shame. Back to the Steam Sale I guess, which while its been working 100%, the sales have been rather crap in my opinion.

 

[Maligna]

I already had mine set up, but I was able to do Remote Play yesterday for some reason, played about 2 hours of Child of Light on RP last night.

I'm not doing remote play locally, I'm doing it from about 3 hours away from my house.

 

[d9b]

I'm in EU as well, not working for me. This is day 2 now. Getting a bit ridiculous. No official word from Sony yet?

 

[thatJohann]

I hope they catch those hackers pieces of shit who are doing this. Hope they get sued to their eyeballs and go to jail or something.

 

[zomaha]

They have until 6pm central time to get it back up, or else...


or else what?


Exactly.

 

[Handy Fake]

I'm going to DDOS my own face with vodka.

 

[Netrunner2k2]

What a shame. I just bought a PS4 and I've only been able to update the system. Good times.

 

[Phaethon0017]

Are they still being DDOS'd, because I thought those attacks ended yesterday when XBL went back up.

That's why today it's Sony's fault. They have a huge sales lead yet an inferior service for going on a year now plagued with the same issues. All this maintenance and the service never improves.

 

[Maligna]

I'm going to DDOS my own face with vodka.

Where is the "like" button?

 

[televator]

So long story short: my PS4 shipment got lost/stolen and new egg sent me another. It arrived a few minutes ago. I'm so excited... They even threw in some freebies. Anyway, I got the thing all hooked up and ready... But PSN is down due to hacks?! Way to ruin the good holiday vibes, hackers.

 

[ColonelT]

I have an appointment with Xur and he doesn't like to be kept waiting.
