what have you guys been doing with your lives? I for one decided to buy Dead Space (the original) and am thoroughly enjoying the playing single player and have been watching Netflix a bit more. I for one don\'t really care its down. Entertaining reading some of the comments. Sucks though because I did want to play some CoD this weekend but oh well. Hopefully its up tomorrow so I don\'t have to interact with my family

I havent even bothered reading people getting up in arms over it. The only ones i could see being upset are the psn plus, but im sure sony will give them something to make up for it...theyll probably still piss and moan but whatever.

I was a little disappointed yesterday when i finally got in the KZ3 mutiplayer mood and couldnt get online.

But i\'ve been playing mlb the show for now and never go online for that. Thought about renting dead space 2 but i waited too long..tomorrows already sunday. Maybe next week

i\'m on steam so i\'m all good. i can\'t believe it\'s taking them this long to conduct their "investigation"

it\'s not really affected me, since I got my new pc, I have rarely used my PS3.

I would have probably played on it at some point in the last week though, had it not been down. but as I said, it\'s not been a big deal to me seeing that I still have my comp to fall back on.

spent most of the PSN downtime playing the AoE: online beta.

I\'ve been reading a lot of PS3 users getting bitchy about it, but for a free service, they should just stfu and wait for it to come back. the only ones who have the right to complain, are PSN+ users, but as has already been pointed out, they will likely be reimbursed in some way or other.

I\'ve also been seeing a lot of XBOT\'s claiming the upper hand in all this, trying to make out that this will kill off PSN, and is another reason why LIVE > PSN . seems an odd thing to say, making it look like LIVE is bulletproof, especially considering a year or so ago, they had massive outages themselves.

Agreed Cer. They shouldn\'t be bitching because its free. I spent this time playing Dead Space before getting Dead Space 2. I was kinda annoyed because I did want to play Black Ops a bit but its whatever, I can deal. It\'ll be there on tuesday when it gets back online (or so they say, lol). And for those who pay, Sony according to an article is extending their membership by 3 months and having some special promotions. But with them taking the time to rebuild it, it should be much better.

Logan and I have been playing portal 2. Fun playing a game that really makes you think.

Though I got PSN Plus, I couldn\'t care less, I don\'t know where to put the money my new job is giving me...

I\'m playing Tomb Raider Trilogy, Dragon\'s Lair, KZ3 SP, LBP2 story and RE Director\'s Cut. A little stop of PSN is not touching me, for sure.

Anyway, as Viper said, people who went with Plus could be disappointed, but I\'m pretty sure Sony will take care about this.

Leveling up a new main for Wow (LVL58).
Playing Team Fortress 2.
Marvel Vs Capcom 3 on Live.

Haven\'t missed PSN really.

BizioEE · « **Reply #11 on:** April 26, 2011, 11:18:57 AM »

What happened was extreme piracy of PSN contents I think and Sony realized the issue and shut down the network. That is the reason for the PSN downtime. Sony is now rebuilding all of it\'s PSN servers to be more secure and make sure that the CFW users can\'t get online anymore.

Anyway, I\'m busy with LBP2 now.

LIC, do you have LBP2 ?

sony have royally fucked up on this one.

Viper_Fujax · « **Reply #14 on:** April 26, 2011, 10:49:43 PM »

this is part of the reason I dont put my credit card on either xbox live or psn. If I want points or the xbox live subscription, I buy my stuff from a store. That and unwanted charges...i learned that one pretty quickly after MS made automatic renewal active the second you give them your credit card..shady bastards

This is lasting a lot longer than I was expecting though. I thought maybe a couple days and people would be complaining like little brats..but this is a pretty damn long time for the whole service to be down.

Curious if it will hurt games like killzone 3 since people are finding other games to fill their time. Guess valve can tell the future by connecting the ps3 version of portal 2 with the pc
