The freebies will no doubt be more pixelated PC ports like they've been shoveling to PS+ members since the PS4 launched.

The fact they're talking about freebies scares me.

I mean, when they were down in 2011, it was a month, and we got 2 games and a free month of plus. And there's still no ETA for it coming back up.

And to top all of this off, my neighborhood had an hour long power outage earlier tonight. What a great holiday weekend!

I posted the thread with the word "Hack" as I didn't have all the detail (didn't care about coming back to change it either) as to what happened.

I'm kind of glad I did now though as a lot of people now know what the attack is and does.

But I guess they don't want people to stay mad:

Sony To Offer Free Games and Services for PSN Outage

They have no source or proof for that information, and they're the only site reporting it. Smells like b.s. to me.

I was on the PS4 for a couple hours. Part on my account, then one of my Destiny friends asked me to log into his so I could grab him some upgrades from Xur. I did that, and went back to my account...well tried anyway.

Can't get back in at this point.

I have a new PS4. I can't register for a new account (I'm totally new to Sony) and the network is still showing as offline.

Well this just got sillier.


Anonymous Declares War on Lizard Squad Hacker Team Who Took Down Playstation & Xbox Networks On Christmas

As you may have heard the hacker group “Lizard Squad” has claimed responsibility for the hack of Sony and PlayStation’s online gaming services that shut down on Christmas Day and were still down until some minutes ago from writing this article (12:40 p.m CST)

The gaming networks returned thanks to Megaupload founder Kim Dotcom, who offered the Lizard Squad 3,000 premium lifetime vouchers for his relaunched MegaPrivacy service.

Kim Dotcom is wanted by the U.S. government for copyright infringement related to his former file-sharing website Megashare which has been taken by the US Government. He took the time to take a dig at the United States with his example of diplomatic outreach:

Anonymous vs Lizard Squad

There have been several fake and alleged “anonymous” videos and claims about a declared war against Lizard Squad. The most popular video was an alleged anonymous video claiming that anonymous would work together with government, police and FBI to take down lizard squad, which anonymous later confirmed that it was fake. Here are the two real videos, where anonymous declares war against the infamous Lizard Squad:

Just checked the PSN Status page...showing "green"....was offline about 1 hour ago.

Update: as of 9:30 central still cannot sign in and shows error code NP-35000...undergoing maintenance


As to the Anonymous vs Lizard Squad...I hope it's true. I don't always agree with some of the stuff, people, companies and political agenda of Anonymous. But one thing for sure is; Lizard Squad just does this for the heck-of-it, doesn't care who gets hurt, suffers, with zero conscious, feelings all for some superiority complex and play God. Simply put...they're Gaming Terrorists.

I guess that's cool.

I'm not sure what to think of Anonymous. Should I be for them? Like I know they're hackers or whatever but...have they actually made a hit worth a damn?

When will the movie be made? The funny things is that if the internets didn't exist then neither of these groups would be relevant.

Still can't register. Sony, this is pathetic.

I don't know if they would be relevant locally doing something else, but we wouldn't be reading about it on the internet...

Lack of the internet would put these guys where they belong = loserville with zero notoriety. They are like serial killers who do the deed and then want people to take notice. Once that dies down they clamor for more and try to get their name back out there.

Assuming the Lizard guys stopped with the attacks yesterday when they got paid off, is it really this dificult to recover from a DDoS attack? For fuck's sake...

Sony finally speaks
http://blog.us.playstation.com/2014/...work-update-3/

more or less just telling newcomers not to return their $400 paperweights
LoL as you can't leave a comment because it takes you to an under maintenance screen when you try to sign in

slop101 12-27-14 03:35 PM

re: Lizard Squad DDoSes Xbox Live and PSN
 
The most insulting part of that Sony comment is them blaming it on "high levels of traffic", which I guess is the definition of a DDoS attack, but they neglect to mention they were attacked, as it would show vulnerability, also, the attacks have stopped for more than a day and they still can't get their shit together.
