Ok, I'm game, the internet fails for a month and the world ends. Why?

If you say 'Because Steam is down!', it's grotwhip time!

What is the Internet used for by rather...lonely males?

But seriously. I'm sorry PSN guys. Maybe it'll be fixed soon.

Wait, you're saying the world will end because people would have to go back to jerking off to Playboy and Cosmo?

While it would amuse me if society turned out to be that fragile, somehow I don't think it works that way.

I got what you were saying right off the bat, Kan, made me chuckle.

Agreed, this is pretty ridiculous, I really hope it gets resolved soon.

There was an episode of South park a while ago about the internet going down.. it was like the great depression and everyone was panicing. Then one of the kids figured out that you just have to restart the computer and it'll work again, and the world was saved by 4th graders yet again.

I tried restarting my PS3.....its still down!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!




On a side note, Id seriously like to take a couple of the hackers and beat the living gak out of them. Im talking, oh damn I might of gone a smidge too far on that guy....oh well whos next?

I haven't turned mine on at all since before this all started.

Kinda surprised this hasn't happened elsewhere.. like what about all the anti social gold farming nerds in WOW? They haven't attacked any servers for getting banned? Or what about the Apple store? or netflix... or youtube? Are they not being targeted? or are they just better at defending than Sony is?

X-Box live got hacked bad by people who were banned.

On live, if you get banned they don't delete your account but place it in an unaccessible server. However, during an update they shut down the firewalls on the servers so they can update them. The hackers who were banned found out when the update was and wrecked their system for two weeks.

It seems like only console players feel the need to hack, don't know why.

So Steam never gets hacked or attacked?

Yeah. Okay.

The consoles just have less protection and require more work to fix the issues.

I know this sucks! I mainly play ps3 and eq2 which is also a Sony game all shut down =(. my brother did however buy me some 360 games which I am now playing on their servers. Also I wonder how much money sony is losing during this down period.

I meant that for some reason hackers feel purposed to hack the consoles worse than the PC. Sure the PC has been hacked and modded, because they give you all the tools to do so, but for some reason console hackers feel the need to go further and shut down the ability to play online. If you want to talk about hackers, myg0t is a clan devoted to trolling and hacking various PC games.

Well, going back on the tangent we were talking about earlier (price of PS3s) I just got an email with a $100 off coupon for a PS3. Fragile is a very, very happy person right now.

That's probably because they have a surplus of PS3's now, thank goodness for idiots too unwilling to wait out the storm.

I'll have to see about getting mine fixed. PS3 broke down right when all of this started and i have no idea why.

Trade it in and get a new one.

I guess the online for MK9 isn't that great. After it came out we sold out of the first shipment of MK9 for the PS3 and then sold out of the second shipment of MK9 for the PS3. The 360 version still has games from the first shipment on there.

The hacking of a console is small time compared to the viruses on a PC.

You guys just don't get it, anonymous attacked sony because they decided to take legal actions against someone who wasn't really doing anything wrong, anonymous is the defender of information and equality on the internet. This is similar to the attack on scientology, which I supported because they were breaking the law and violating their believer's rights. I lost faith when they decided to attack visa and amazon, during the operation: leakspin because it put american soldiers and innocent lives at risk. Anonymous is more than angry kids, they claim to be your neighbors, the mailman, the frycook at wendy's, the IT guy at the library, etc., they even claim you are anonymous. I'm not going to tell you how it started, but sony shut down PSN during the attacks to prevent others from sharing the information on how to jailbreak your ps3, they've even tracked ip addresses of people who visited his site to press charges on them, just face it, sony is another greedy corporation who believes everything should be profitable, take this example: if someone discovered there was a way to assemble plastic and metal models using common household things, and be superior to glue, GW would have a problem, and they would silence this person because it would mean less profit, because they don't just want your money from the models, tools, accessories, but every little thing in the hobby, thi is exactly like sony, who doesn't just want profit from the systems, games and accessories, and what-not, but other applications as well. I have a feeling this is the beginning of the sony op, just remember their saying:

Informatin is free
Knowledge is free
Arm yourself

Oh we get it. That was my point all along. However it was still against the terms and conditions. Jailbreaking a PS3 to use non accessible programs that are on the PS3 is still not legal. I don't agree with sony suing the guy but when it comes to the law, lots of things are unfair.

Anonymous is a bunch of ass hats who think they have some power because they're good with computers. They hide behind a guise of "fighting for equality on the internet" but as soon as you realize that everyone is not equal then you'll see past it. I don't deserve to know that SONY has non-stick discs if they decide to keep it a secret as much as SONY lacks the right to know the secret mix of soft drinks I put into a Suicide at McDonald's.

Really now, a company wants to make money off of something that they researched, developed, marketed, produced, and shipped? Who would ever think that was what companies did? Seriously, SONY made the PS3 and owns the copyright and patents on the internal workings of that PS3 so cracking it open and looking at what makes the PS3 tick and then fiddling with it goes against their patent and copyright.

Companies are in a thing called a 'free market' system which means that they're free to do what they want to make money, if you don't want them to have your money then use the last remaining ounce of free will they left you after the brainwashing program to not buy their products. I could care less about jailbreaking my PS3 and I'm perfectly happy with SONY's product, what I'm not happy with is a bunch of people too afraid to give their names threatening the company and making them shut down the network.

Knowledge is power, power corrupts, study hard, be evil. Maxims are so fun to use and make.

I guess they are ass-hats, but, then again, consider where they come from, 4chan.org, an imageboard with no redeeming qualities. I honestly don't care about the ps3's inner tickings, but if people want to know let them know, it's not like somebody's going to make a generic ps3 or anything.

As for anonymous, if you read my first post, I agreed with them when they were trying to expose scientology, but when the wikileaks incident happened, I lost respect for them, but you have to know what they are, they are just another group of activists, just like peta.

As for me, I have a name, I don't care to learn to hack, because I've got better things to do with my time. The only reason I know as much is because I keep a track on current events. I don't care for 4chan because it's a collossal waste of time, I work for a living, so I don't spend much time on the web, I believe that when stating facts, I should try to remain neutral, and apologise if I implied that I was for anonymous, as that is not the case, while I believe certain information should be available to the public(inner tickings of the ps3), I also believe that some things should be kept secret(military info, C.I.A intel, etc.). I also admit, if X-box live became attacked, I too would be pissed.

I hate PETA and they're just 30 minutes from my house. I plan on having a barbecue during the winter in front of their headquarters. Why winter you ask, because then we can all wear our fur coats.

I got so bored with my other games that I picked up a copy of Sims 3 for my PS3. Not a bad game, especially with the house design feature.

I currently have Adolf Hitler and Benito Mussolini in a house shaped like a Swastika.

I plan on making a house with Winston Churchill and FDR in a house shaped like the star that they painted on the side of US tanks.

Then maybe a house with Osama Bin Laden in the shape of Mohammed.

^all of this
So much win in that post

Anonymous is more than angry kids, they claim to be your neighbors, the mailman, the frycook at wendy's, the IT guy at the library, etc

Whenever anyone talks about a hackery type, all I can ever picture em as is something like this...

Eh. No. I knew one that jogged 10 miles a day and went home to write virii because he could.

Ok so that accounts for.....1 of them

I had a buddy that could easily be with anonymous, and he looks like the picture

hell I look like the picture.. only I still have my hair..

I'm pissed because I finally decided to dust off my PSP to transfer Dino Crisis from the PS3 to the PSP...

"The user of this game must sign in to copy it"
Ok, I'll sign in... um... WHAT?!

earth-star wrote:anonymous is the defender of information and equality on the internet. Information is free

If anonymous is the defender of information, then they should not be hacking into it. Information is not free. There is such a thing as having confidential information.
Taking other people's private information is just stupid and a d*** move. To do what with it anyway? So you can know what your neighbour's phone number is? Or rather to get his credit card number and steal his money...?

Whoever launched the attack that made SONY shut down the network should pay.

have anonymous admitted to the hacking?
Because this doesn't sound like their usual thing
they usual do it to prove loopholes and thing like that
and they admit to it
