Latest update guys :

Updated: 8:20AM PST 4/25/11

From the PS Blog:

"I know you are waiting for additional information on when PlayStation Network and Qriocity services will be online. Unfortunately, I don’t have an update or timeframe to share at this point in time.

As we previously noted, this is a time intensive process and we’re working to get them back online quickly. We’ll keep you updated with information as it becomes available. We once again thank you for your patience."

The truth is, there was a new CFW (custom firmware) released known as Rebug ([link removed]). It essentially turns a retail console into a dev console (not fully, but gives you a lot of the same options that usually dev's only have access to). Anyway, this new CFW was quickly figured out to give CFW users access to the PSN network again via the dev networks. With a little manipulation of the URL's through a proxy server you could get your hacked console back online. Not that big of a deal, right? Well, it also turns out that some people over at NGU found out that you could provide fake CC# info and the authenticity of the information was never checked as you were on Sony's private developer PSN network (essentially a network that Sony trusted). What happened next was extreme piracy of PSN content. Sony realizing the issue here shut down the network.

AKA, Sony pulled another idiotic mistake.

Nothing beats there epic fail in there "random" number used for signing there code, maybe using the same random number isn't such a hot idea.

Re: Playstation Network Down

So to explain it to the lay people... its not so much a "hacker attack shut it down royally" so much as "where did all the rum go? Someone stole it!" ?

The way I understand it, all the people I know that play PS3 don't give a rats ass about it and come over and play on my Xbox, so I think they'll be alright.

how could we get in contact with each other while the network is down? o_o


I don't play much online anyway. By the time it gets back up, I should be ruining lives at Mortal Kombat, not worried.
