Yeah I'm perfectly fine with waiting if Sony is getting everything perfect with their security. Just wish they didn't set a timeframe to get peoples hopes up, just to be disappointed in the end.

I have the right to bitch, Sony is acting like we are stupid and are just stalling. People have the right to be upset about it. And you know what's worse than someone who bitches? Someone who bitches about peope bitching. I mean come on I'm not trying to start an argument but that's all ur doing. At least im actually talking about what's going on with Sony. And if ur so tired of the bitching, I just wouldn't come into this thread until the network is back up, because most likely that's what everyone here will be talking about, duh. I'm not going to avoid a certain section of this board because you are acting like a child. Every one of your replies, along with others' replies, have been nothing but complaining. It's not going to make them move any faster. With all the complaining, it seems like you'd rather them just throw up some half-assed solution so you are pleased and so you can get online, rather than make certain that everything safe and make sure something like this, especially of this scale, doesn't happen again. You're acting like, just because they had an expectation that they weren't able to meet, because of another attack on a separate division of theirs, they are screwing people and just f*cking them over and they don't know what the f*ck it is that they are doing. Sh*t happens. As I said in another reply above, if you aren't happy with it, then YOU go f*cking fix the sh*t. You go rebuild their entire server, migrate the 70 MILLION accounts they have, deal with another attack on a separate gaming division, cooperate with the governments that are on them, and find out who caused this to begin with, and get the completely rebuilt server online in a week. Let me know how good you can do with it.

I heard it may, and I heard it's looking dull. No definite yes or no.

I read that Online may not be up this weekend due to the fact that they have to run more tests and it may be a while before we can start playing Online again.

That's what the last 2 or so pages has been fueled by. Them originally saying it MIGHT be up, but due to uncontrollable circumstances, it probably won't be, and people acting like spoiled kids because oh noez they can't play teh playstation 3 teh onlinez.

Yeah I don't really get why they're being mad. Well yeah I was at first but video games aren't my "whole life" right there. They should try to stop whining and let Sony provide us with a better security system. And they should really stop arguing to avoid getting this thread locked.

People have a right to be as mad as they want. People spent their money expecting to get full enjoyment out of their PS3, and they can't do that because Sony can't get their security right on PSN? That's literally the main thing they should of worried about on PSN from day one. The ONLY reason I'm even a little mad is because Sony sets a timeframe. If you're not sure when it's coming up, don't set anything. I honestly don't care much how long its takes for it to get done, but I just hope they get everything right, like it should of been before.

That's just it though. When they held the press conference, and said that they hoped that some services could be restored within the week, that's what they thought, they originally thought they were sure that some services would be restored. Due to an attack on their other gaming division, SOE, they couldn't. Sh*t happens. You can still play games, watch movies, even get online. The only thing you can't do is buy stuff, and play online. Is your life really that incomplete without playing online? Keep in mind that no one is absolving Sony of any responsibility here. They know they effed up. They know it. We know it. It's common knowledge by now. But they are working as fast as they can in order to make it as secure as it possibly can be before they put it reactivate it. I'm of the accord that I don't care how long it takes as long as it is as secure as it possibly could be before it goes back up.

One of my buddies was saying the Gamestop he works at and all the others around him stopped taking PS3 system trade-ins until further notice. Apparently people are so distraught over PSN being down, they're trading in systems for anything they can get. He said it's like dealing with junkies desperate to find a new fix. Sure, the lack of meaningful updates is a bit irritating, and I'm a little bummed I can't play online, but games don't run my life... I have a girlfriend and job for that. But seriously, I've supported Sony for a very long time. I own half a dozen consoles (Two PSones, three PS2s, and a PS3) as well as hundreds of games. As long as everything's straightened out, secure, and done right, they have my support for taking their sweet-ass time with it.

I finally upgraded and bought a PS3. Never noticed but apparently you can't play PS1 or PS2 games on it, so I'll keep my PS2 since I've had it since release day.
First game I bought was Resident Evil 5 since I'm a huge fan and have 1-4, and code veronica. I was thinking of getting God of War 1-3, Batman: Arkham Asylum, and MGS4.
Was wondering if you guys would recommend any games?

Was wondering if you guys would recommend any games? You CAN play PS1 games on them. All consoles still do that. The first models do play PS2 games, but the trade off is that they get really hot when you play a PS2 game on them, because the disc is constantly spinning and you run the risk of overheating your console. The new slim models lack the Graphics Synthesizer GPU which is required for PS2 emulation. Anyways....HEAVY RAIN! Seriously one of the best experiences I've ever had in gaming.

Heard of Uncharted. I'll get 1 & 2 soon. Never heard of the other. I just bought the God Of War Collection (1 & 2) for $20.

TBH i wouldn't get UC1 myself. I played UC2 first and loved it, then bought the first one knowing that of course it wouldn't be as good as 2 since it was the 1st in the series, but i didn't think it was very fun at all compared to 2. Plus i don't think you really need to play 1 to understand 2. Just my opinion. My top 5 games to play are probably
1. Red Dead Redemption 2. Uncharted 2 3. God of War 3 4. Battlefield Bad Company 2 5. Batman Arkham Asylum
Can't go wrong with any of those. Plus Arkham Asylum and Battlefield can get you geared up for their big releases coming out in the near future.

I personally enjoyed Uncharted 1 & 2 equally. Definitely both must have games.

I'm not a person that has a lot of down time to play video games, maybe 2-3 hours a week, tops. So when I have a little bit of time, its nice to unwind. I have to say I understand building an all new system takes time, but I think with how the whole "wait and see" approach has blown up in their faces. Working with electronics and customers, the number one rule is to NEVER give a small time frame window as to when you think a product will be back up and running. Because as we have seen here, if the product isn't ready, the first thing people are going to say is, "Well you said it would be done by now." It just leads to people becoming more angry.

Playstation Blog dated Monday May 9, 2011 (today) indicates that full functionality of the Playstation Network will happen on May 31, with no word on when we can actually game.
