PSN connection problems (12/24)
- Thread starter Agent X
- Start date
Or the lack of your sub money spent on infrastructure
You would think that Christmas would be the one day where they would want to be sure everyone can actually use their servers.

This is my biggest problem is when you are paying for a service. In the past when they would go down for 8-12 hours every 3 months on a Thursday for maintenance or upgrades, I wouldn't care. Now that it's a paid service, i am being far more critical of it. Where is that money going Sony?!

It is like that all the time (different addresses and such of course). There has been way worse. Even a gif of it somewhere.

People are still blaming Sony when it has been explained multiple times in this thread that there is nothing they can do about a ddos attack?
Yup. China is hammering something currently. Not sure if it's Sony or what though. Seattle, St Louis, and Atlanta.

Finale is more fitting.
Something in Seattle is getting hit big over and over.
Find out if Sony hosts their PSN servers in Seattle. I can't imagine they do for the EU.

Microsoft seems to be doing something about the attack on them right now.
It's possible to deter DDOS attacks, it's just not easy. I'm sure Sony is attempting to the best they can.
Perhaps they'll invest more in the area after these recent attacks.

Its not a ddos attack its christmas. Psn goes down all the time when too many people are on and clearly they did nothing about it for christmas. Xbox did the same thing 7 years ago.
Thanks. I googled it and there's a huge topic on the official Playstation forums about it. Seems like this is happening to everyone trying to enter that code right now.
Luckily I updated their system and downloaded a lot of stuff ahead of time

No. It has to do with companies wanting our money but not wanting to invest that money back into their services.
I paid $400 for a fucking box that can't send messages on a GOOD day. This isn't even remotely surprising.

I'm in South Carolina and can't play any games. ( going digital only)
I could only download the update when I set up. I also got an Xbox for Christmas, and I'm downloading MCC no problem.
Are these DDoS attacks or smth else?

Except the biggest launch/activity on the platform, Destiny, went without a hitch. It's not as simple as traffic=lol Sony.
Now, it could be heavy traffic to certain services like account creations/store being the main bog. But general signing in/traffic claims haven't been consistently supported.
.Yes they're DDoS attacks

Got a new Vita. Only have digital games. Cannot connect to the store.
Sadness. This is the first step on my quest to meltdown.

Grrrr what a horrible Christmas. This is going to piss a lot of kiddos with shiny new consoles off.

I'm a Canadian with a Canadian PSN account, but I currently live in Taiwan. I can't connect. Keep getting error messages.
Pretty widespread. Fucking hell.

You'd think the Chinese would have better things to do.
All those attacks coming out of China. What is the purpose of them? What do the Chinese gain?

It's not maintenance the twitter says they are investigating the sign in issues.
I heard they are releasing a controversial movie that made some people mad.
No one is attacking Nintendo, not exactly brain surgery to for sure that one out.
