Maybe they aren't admitting it because they're trying to reman anonymous?

Hmm... No, usually Anonymous puts out some sort of press release that they did whatever it was. So far this time, nothing.

There are two possible scenarios:

A) Someone took advantage of Anonymous' attack as cover for their own move.
B) It was an inside job and Sony is pointing the finger at anonymous to dodge the massive lawsuit that they would get hit with if it came out it was an inside job.

My money is on the Laughing Man.

Does this mean I get a Tachikoma?

You know, I've always suspected Sony was using the PS to try and create the Puppetmaster...

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?

People are complaining so much about this. You haven't even considered playing a game offline for once? I have no access to online play except at the library (I have a laptop), so I've been stuck with no xbox live or anything forever. Offline games are still fun.

Heck, this might even have a good side, because it could make people actually play a game for fun (campaign) instead of focussing only on their stupid rankings.

I had nothing to do with this, I swear.

That would bring gamers into contact with other human beings, and raises the possibility of them discovering that the real world has superior 'jiggle physics' compared to games.

I totally agree. Online multiplayer gaming pisses me off just as much as 3D movies. I don't mind it when the content is appropriate, but here any more it seems like developers are forcing it into games. Heck game informer last month did there usual "The Good, The Bad, and The Ugly". They thought it was bad that Batman Arkham City didn't have multiplayer.

While playing Fable III last night I stumbled across 2 demon doors that wanted me to bring another hero to them. I shouldn't have to do that crap in a single player game.

I love FPS games but I hate FPS multiplayer. Games like black ops and stuff are all about multiplayer, the campaign is like an afterthought that takes a whole 6 hours to finish... big waste of cash for me, glad it was a xmas gift This is the reason I haven't gotten Killzone 3 yet, gonna wait a while till the price drops or the ultimate kilrathi edition comes out in a year with all the DLCs for free

Im with Necros. Im a cheap ass by nature, so when a game comes out, Ill wait until that same game comes out with a number 2 or once even a 4 before buying the first. SOooooo much cheaper that way


So how many weeks was it down for?

It went down easter weekend so roughly 3 weeks.

So off the list of free items you can get I'm stoked about Little big planet and Infamous.

I believe the 5 games, of which you can choose 2, are Infamous, Dead Nation, Little Big Planet, Superstardust, and Wipeout HD

This is not completely verified, mainly cause I'm a bit too tired and lazy to check, but I'm pretty damn sure, like 94% that this is right

I wish my Playstation wasn't broke right now.

that what were getting

And just when we thought it was back up and all happy again, SONY realized their security regarding passwords was gak. I tried changing my password at school, but the cursed firewall stopped me, and when I got home, it was too late. So I'm still stuck with no online gaming for another while.

The thing about online gaming is that it offers a new aspect of the game and a chance to measure yourself against other players. Personally, I only start going online when I'm halfawy through the solo mode.

The only problem is that I bought Demon's Souls right after the hack. As this game is supposed to be played online at all times, I was a bit cheesed at online gaming loss.
