PSN connection problems (12/24)

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.
 
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?

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

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???

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.
 
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.

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

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

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?
 
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.
 
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.
 
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.
