Error Code (aka The Great PSN Easter Outage of 2011)

[Donut]

At the rate this is going I don't expect anything back up until E3

 

[hippie_hunter]

Yeah, i agree that the new PSN will be unveiled at E3.


On other news...

I´m starting to believe that Sony was nothing more than a scapegoat in all of this.
There is no report of anyone having their personnal info used, no credit card being used; and now a "civil war" among anonymous.
There is also the report from Sony that anon was behind the attack, and they keep saying that they didn´t do it.

My theory is that, the one attacking anonymous is the same that attacked Sony, and they only did it to put the blame on anon because of the all Anon vs Sony debocle, that´s why there was info planted inside Sony´s server that it was anon´s doing.
It doesn´t make any sense that skillfull hackers would left traces on Sony´s servers.
If i´m right, this all crap is not Hackers vs Sony but really Anonymous vs "Anonymous rogue", which in turn makes the PSN users more at ease, i don´t believe their info will ever be used, no one is after them.

I really don't think that this was Anonymous at all. Stealing personal data just isn't their MO at all. Not that I'm a fan of them or anything, but the actual Anonymous group is harmless, annoying, but harmless.

If Anonymous did or didn't do this but still get repercussions I find it difficult to garner any sympathy what so ever. From What I have read on Encyclopedia Dramatica they don't just go after the big bad faceless companys they frequently attack the weak including people with disability and mental problems. Bugger them, hope they get it tight.

Anonymous isn't exactly a close knit organization. Any person can do some hacking and claim they are part of the group, and who can really dispute them? Sure there are some "higher ups" who try to speak for the group, but even they admit that the Sony breach could have very well been a segment of Anonymous, just not Anonymous as a 'whole'.

 

[Donut]

What if Sony started their E3 Conference saying that the Online Gaming will not be back up today / anytime soon ? Their stocks would die again

 

[The Squirrel]

If Sony doesn't have this up by May 31st (which is the hardest deadline we've gotten so far), I may really be buying a 360.

Seconded.......myself I'm waiting to here more on the Star Wars Kinect...

....has there been any PSN/SOE news?

I really enjoy the debates this thread turns into off and on, and can honestly say I'm not sure which side I agree with...well, as clearly as I originally thought......I think the 31st gives Sony enough time, it it goes any further, I feel its pushing it...

 

[Anubis]

I still don't give a s**t. Netflix still works, Haven't been robbed, and I never played online much anyway.

Encylopedia Dramatica isn't exactly the most worthy source of information out there

While there are many who claim to be a part of Anonymous, because it isn't a close knit organization, the core "leadership" of the group is more about being Pirates of the Caribbean styled Internet trolls. They really don't go after peoples' personal information and steal their stuff. They tend to go after people who either deserve it (like one story where Anonymous found out where one girl who threw puppies allowing people to completely spam her) and those who try to control the Internet instead of allowing it to be an online version of Somalia (hence why they went after Sony the first time).

 

[Jick]

I'm just looking forward to the free games.
I really hope Killzone 2 is one of them. It's an exclusive, after all, and it's not so new.

 

[Sam Fisher]

I'm hoping for some Asaassin's Creed action.

 

[The Squirrel]

A free copy of AC: Brotherhood is a pipe dream, but would be nice.

 

[Anubis]

I don't see why not. It's pretty f**kin cheap as it is.

 

[ChrisBaleBatman]

I doubt it'd be AC, ACII or ACB.

Probably won't be anything relatively new, either.

 

[Donut]

It's going to be Angry Birds for free. Just watch lol

 

[Cth]

Probably Uncharted and a PSN title

 

[Spidey-Bat]

More likely it will be Infamous and/or Warhawk. Stuff that has been out for year and can be found for dirt cheap. It would be ironic if it were Warhawk.

 

[Tron Bonne]

If I were to guess, the list will probably look something like this:

Uncharted 1 & 2
Infamous
LittleBigPlanet 1 & 2 (2 is more of a long shot, but I think it's been out long enough that it's possible)
Then a larger PSN title like Warhawk, Wipeout HD, Fat Princess, etc.

 

[Donut]

So guys booing or no booing do you think if Sony does not have online gaming working by E3 on the PS3 it will take away any momentum they might have had at E3 ? I imagine most would not be happy. Especially during E3 time

 

[Tron Bonne]

There's not going to be any damn booing at E3.

 

[Soapy]

I could see booing if Tretton makes a dumb joke about it.

 

[Tron Bonne]

I doubt even then. I think there's too much professionalism for stuff like that. They'll probably be replaced with dead silence, like others said before.

 

[KALEL114]

No journalist will boo them. I guarantee that. If one does then they risk being shunned by Sony in the future. Not to mention being labeled as unprofessional by their peers and readers.

 

[Benstamania]

I could see booing if Tretton makes a dumb joke about it.

Maybe not boo... I could see groans maybe.. Probably awkward silence though.

 

[Nemi]

What if it was just silence period? No matter what they say they can't get a reaction out of anyone.
