Because it's almost the end of the week and it's still not up yet.

Which surely means it'll be up pretty soon?

I could be wrong obviously, but when Hirai told the whole world in a press conference that it'd be back this week I don't think they'd take the "Ah f it, we don't have to stick to that" approach.

This is Sony though I guess... they tend to be six days off at the mo :huh:
 
People are trading to 360 because online is temporarily off?
That's almost absurd to me. They depend on the online this much?
 
Ive invested 4 years into my PS3. I have quite a bit of games, friends, trophies, etc... to just switch over just bc the PSN is temporarily down.

On a side note, I wonder how this will effect future releases and if games will get delayed. Im worried about Infamous 2. That was in the middle of beta testing when this started. Will Sony release the game on schedule or delay it to continue the beta and work out the online kinks that are invovled in the mission creator. Fortnately for me thats the only game with any online component coming out in the near future that Im concerned about.

Sucker Punch revealed it won't affect the release yesterday, Hav :up:
 
Come to think of it I really dont get online unless its madden or black ops and killzone 3. Everything else like mortal kombat I just play single player mode and im completely happy. No need to run out and trade in my ps3 and buy an xbox. I have too much money and time invested in my ps3, Just think of all the rockband 3 songs ive downloaded. If I had cash to blow I would have both consoles but in my current lifestyle I just dont need both, same goes for the wii.
 
The only thing I really want online for right now is to sync Portal 2 and get the steam achievements. I'm going to wait until the patch is out to play MK online.
 
That's the ****ing problem, everyone is too plugged in nowadays, so to speak. If you can't have online capabilities, I don't want nothing to do with it, is their mindset.
 
Why are people saying PSN is going to up next Monday/down for a month? Hirari said in his press conference that it would be back this week.

PSN being "down" doesn't bother me. It needs fixed, I'm all cool with them working as hard as they can to give us a better network.

Just don't put a time stamp on it. I mean, people complain when they say "soon" but I'd rather have that than "Sometime this week" and not get it then say "sometime this week" for next week.

Take your time, get things done right... but don't BS me anymore.

In the next 5+ years disks will probably die out altogether me thinks.
It will be a service like steam but probably without the need to download things. Wont even be a console.
 
^Yup, I said that a while ago. The "hard media" will be phased out. Devs obviously hate the used market and what better way to kill it than going all digital? The only thing is they (again, obviously) don't have a way to make the digital downloads cheaper.

Example: The Mass Effect games, both 1 and 2 are on XBLMP and the second one is up for download on PSN... however, both 1 and 2 are 19.99 on XBL and 59.99 on PSN. They aren't willing to take a loss on digital game prices.

When games all become digital (I agree, probably in 5 years) they will need to be around 29.99... or at most, 40 (new) and 14.99 for older games. People won't want to spend 60 bucks on a game when they won't be purchasing a hard copy.

I believe they'll be able to do it and I'm not sure what I think. One way I like it because I have a bad habit of trading in a game then repurchasing it later on down the line. If it's all digital I won't be able to do that (Unless gamestop figures out a legal way to do digital trades, lol). On the other hand I won't OWN the game I buy, I'll simply own the right to play it.

Ouch but they do deserve this somewhat for not keeping their stuff updated & what not

Totally agree. Though I think five years is being pretty optimistic.

I think in that timeframe we'll probably get to the point where most games will launch digitally and in retail side by side, but it's going to take significantly longer for physical media to actually die out. I mean think about how insanely popular services like iTunes are, and yet you can still go to a store and walk through aisle after aisle of CDs.
 
I know at least 6 people who are for sure trading theirs in for a Xbox 360

i'm not trading in but i am considering getting an xbox

Why are people saying PSN is going to up next Monday/down for a month? Hirari said in his press conference that it would be back this week.

because that was before the news of more accounts being hacked and sony having to shutting down SOE and the pc DCU. i bet it wont be up untill the end of the month

If it's still down, just use that time and money to go see Thor or something.
 
Oh it's on come Friday, can't WAIT for Thor!
 
I have to wait to next friday to see Thor because I get paid every other week :(
I hope the PSN comes back on tomorrow or saturday.

What ********. :\

But still, here's hoping it's back everywhere tomorrow.
 
My bet is that all the servers will crash because everyone and their mother will be jumping online the second it comes back on.
 
I really want online up so I can update my rosters on NBA 2K11 and MLB the show 11 and I want to get double xp on CoD Blk Ops this weekend
