The ongoing global outage of Sony’s PlayStation Network, now at 5 days, may be in danger of continuing even further – in its latest update Sony refused to provide any information on what is going on or when it will be fixed.
Despite predicting “it may be a full day or two before we’re able to get the service completely back up and running” on the 21st, since then Sony has stopped providing a timeframe and in its latest missive only offers a lame acknowledgement of the disaster:
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.
Rumours now suggest Sony may be nearing a point where it can restore service, although there is next to no official information from Sony itself about any progress.
In fact, all Sony has revealed is that an “external intrusion” prompted them to turn off the entire PSN service, rather suggesting they may be downplaying the severity of the trouble.
Microsoft for its part has graciously called the outage “regretful” whilst crowing that it expects to see “an increase of traffic.”
i think sony should put alternative paying methods, get rid of storing cc on a online database, and put more PSN cards in stores. i mean i always went to a pharmaceutical store that sells PSN cards for $20 and $50, im probably the only one the knows and buys there.
hopefully sony learn a lessoned, and companies will take note of this
u warum haben sie euch gehäckt
bestimmt nicht ohne grund
PS3 should give us something in return for waiting for it to be Fixed and give te PS3 lovers something in return, Everyone has lost time to be playing Online games, For like the people who have no Lifes, That is really bad, But for the people who play, MW2 or Black Ops, We should seriously get something in returen like Money or Free online games or something. Noobs!!
Oh microsoft, who did you hire this time, it better not be dante again.
One of the reasons why I have a varied library of games.
