Uh, someone mentioned on twitter that only EU users would be getting the free games. That's not accurate, is it?

It was only announced for Europe. SCEA hasn't said anything except for free downloads, which will probably be a theme or some shit.

I'm getting ready to bail on Sony. They have the worst communication with the public. This is just like how they don't release their NPD numbers because they think if they don't say anything, nobody will notice and it will all go away.

This is something they needed to face for a long time, just a harsh wake up call for Sony to make their shitty PSN better.

When we held the press conference in Japan last week, based on what we knew, we expected to have the services online within a week. We were unaware of the extent of the attack on Sony Online Entertainment servers, and we are taking this opportunity to conduct further testing of the incredibly complex system.

Sony's communication is beyond pathetic and this situation exposed them. However no one is going to care about this 6 months from now as long as everything is working. This down time might have killed Socom as a franchise though.

PSN better have some upgrades upon reboot. Get it closer in functionality to Xbox Live and Steam.

They're saying even if the online goes back up this week, the store has NO DATE AT ALL. Which could be a month, two months, three months.

Publishers are going to kill them. No DLC revenue, no online pass revenue, no PSN game revenue. If I was a publisher I'd drop future PS3 versions of games unless Sony paid me a large amount of pure cash to make up for this.

Pretty sure they would lose more money by not releasing the games on ps3 than what they are going to lose with this fiasco.

i don't see how it's being a drama queen. sony has handled this horribly. I'm not dropping ps3, because ps3 has a lot of great games and it's a great system. But honestly, Sony has to regain my trust and they're doing horribly at doing so. I'm more than likely to get a ngp, but this is a colossal fuck up, that much is true.

I think Sony's communication is just fine. They were not only virtually depantsed in front of everyone, they also had a Danny Bonaduce sized cock for the world to see. The more Sony talked about it, the more word would spread. They'd rather just deal with this quietly, pay out x number of millions to shut everyone up, and move on quickly.

I think it will be longer than six months until people forget. It will be on the minds of parents when they're buying little Billy a PS3 this Christmas. Maybe Christmas 2012 they will forget, sure, but I don't think Sony is going to get away with this massive bungling so easy, regardless of how many shitty Kevin Butler ads they shove down our throats. I don't expect any upgrades for PSN either. As soon as they can get it up, it will be up. True to the Sony style, I wouldn't be surprised if they removed some features for legitimate users.

Mrbob · « **Reply #706 on:** May 07, 2011, 07:02:11 PM »

My issue is how Sony handled how long service would be down. First they said PSN is down for two days. Then they say another week after telling us of getting hax0red. Then they see OH YES PSN WILL BE BACK UP THIS WEEK. Well later this week has come and now Sony says MAAAAAAAAAAAAYYYYYYYYYYBBBBBBBBEEEEEEEEEE next week. For me this is getting more annoying than the service being down. If it was going to be 3 to 4 weeks to get service back up tell us right away.

Well whatever I play most of my games on PC anyway but I do like playing MLB The Show online on PS3. Need my fix!

some funny quotes

Quote

I've lost my trust in them anyway now, they've done far too much damage. It's like when you look at Kratos and he's this big guy who you admire and think he wouldn't and couldn't be scared or defeated by anything but finding out that behind closed doors he secretly enjoys wearing women's panties or when he sees a spider he screams like a girl and hides behind a bush. Kind of ruins the image doesn't it?

Quote

I also find their attempts at trying to buy people's trust back with rubbish freebies insulting. Kind of like when a guy cheats on a girl and he buys her a diamond ring hoping she'll forgive him, only 4 weeks later he's cheating again and the girl was stupid for getting all starry eyed over the ring.

What do people seriously expect Sony to do to "make it up?

It's also true that most people complaining are xbots pretending they own a 360 who would rather Sony give them a full day with complete free acess to the PSN Store to get whatever they want. Giving us 4 free games is fucking amazing of Sony. But I guess in Xbot land the only proper way for Sony to apologize would be to fold so the "great" Xbox can live on forever in Mediocre Console heaven
