PSN Threads Combined

Why on earth this came to my mind I do not know, this came to mind:

Play, create, share!

I think it's funny because 80% of the PS3 consumer base can't do any of that right now.

MS have outages too but they are announced and improve elements of the online infrastructure and also allow new features for new games releasing shortly.

What was this!? Sony says "we are aware of the issue" how could you f***ing not be di*kheads, everyone's ringing you bastards complaining about the screw up.

I'm hoping something can be done by use of firmware still, low level stuff.

Yeah I hope so too. Sony is just dragging their feet and keeping everybody in the dark.

I wonder how they will fix this if people cant log on to PSN then how will they get an update to fix it?

Features like the browser still work. A link wouldn't hurt, plus an update can be applied via USB like on the 360.

Something in the back of my mind makes me think Sony did this intentionally (conspiracy theory maybe LOL) but it's strange that shortly after George Hotz exposes a method to manipulate the PS3 (only briefly) via the use of the "Other O/S" something only available to phat PS3's, this happens... Are they combating that?

I Actually wondered about that myself. As for the FW my PS3 still connects to the FW servers because when I go to update via internet it recognises that I have the latest FW. So we can still get a FW update through the usual method. Bear in mind when a new FW update is available your PS3 wont allow you to log into PSN until you download and install it anyway. Thats because you dont get your FW updates from PSN you get them from your internet connection to the FW servers.

Do you have a Slim? The Slims seem to not be having the problem according to reports.

I have the fat 80gig with 2 USB ports. I checked again this morning and everything is still working. I guess I just got lucky.

TXB has some members reporting the two SKU's besides the Slim not affected are;

CECHL01 & CECHP01

Likely you have one of those.
