The picture had nothing to do with Christmas. It was mocking Sony's incompetence to maintain their network. Being incompetent on Christmas is still being incompetent. And I'm talking about Sony being incompetent, not the individual engineers who are almost surely under-supported. as soon as they started barging for PSN, the onus was on them to keep it up and secure.

I decided to return home. No PSN. WTF
How would you stop DDOS attack? Didnt both XBL and PSN go down during christmas? Like i said previously, my psn was working christmas night and played for 8 hours. (5 hours of pvp on destiny with no problem) Although it did go down again today, its back up for me.
and how about you think about what you're saying.
Some people have yet to have Christmas.

After third attempt it started working and i played pvp for 5 hours lol Its frustrating i know, best of luck

Yep. Threads like these are full of clueless armchair IT pros, just like medical threads are full of clueless armchair doctors.

PSN log-in and Store has worked fine for me all last night and tonight... every time I check or turn on my PS4, I'm logged in and can browse the store fine... Can upload with PS Share fine... Even view the 'What's New' fine half the time, other the time nothing loads.... I've never been logged out or anything.
But none of the PSN game services work. I tried Driveclub last night and again today and it's just instantly disconnected from PSN. No attempt even to connect. Just a straight 'cannot connect' error for everything.

Been binge watching The Originals on Netflix all day. Can't decide if it's good or am I that desperate for entertainment.

I'm online on my PS4 and I can get to the Store website on my PC. Only downside is all I want to do is buy AW with some PSN cards I got for x-mas. Can't redeem the codes. So close but so far....

No, but you need to explain why you're trashing PSN for incompetence when it comes to DDOS. In this thread and others, it has been explained multiple times that the problem is a combination of the way the whole internet is designed plus a use of the internet that focuses on low latency.
So either that appraisal of the problem of DDOS is wrong (which you may have claimed and I missed it). Or, in your view, Sony is incompetent because of the internet and gaming, which seems to mischaracterise what Sony does.
Try just disabling internet and see if it starts. Had to do that for Lego Marvel whatever it was called
Other services have already recovered in a much more timely manner. This is consistent with Sony. When they go down, they stay down for days. This happens with issues even outside of DDOSes. I see no reason why I should assume they are just being specially targeted for longer. Once they started collecting money for PS+, the expectation is that the service will be properly funded and maintained. This has not been the case for a while year. I'm not upset at them going down to a DDOS. I'm upset at their molasses nature at fixing a problem and responding at all.

Welcome to the club. Too bad you have to be signed into PSN for it to work... even though it doesn't require PS+
The worst part is that it's working on PS3 and PC. It's just PS4 users who can't play at this point.
Is it working on PS3? It hasn't been for me. . .

Not gonna happen. Nothing is gonna happen. It'll come back with no fanfare and we'll go back to 10 minute waits for messages to send.
And we'll like it.
Oh. That seems both valid and sound.

To a degree. The problem is that I doubt that the people that are working their ass off right now were the same people that decided to make the Infrastructure so shitty in the first place.

Maybe people just want to play?
But that's not how a DDOS works. It doesn't just turn off their servers and make them have to drive over and turn them on. It's an on-going thing until whoever is doing it decides to stop. Sure, there are possibly things that can be done depending on how severe the DDOS is, but if it's bad enough nothing can happen until the attackers stop. You can be mad all you want, but you are just assuming they are just being lazy/incompetent and are at fault. Unless you know the circumstances better than others here?

Hmmm. Sniffing out the fake outrage here. Let's give it a rest now shall we?
