Actually PSN is only up in some regions but will be up in the others soon no one has Playstation PLUS yet cause of the update in the store

This is what happens when free services are rendered. The up keep is not optimal which is why they were easily hacked to begin with. Everyone always craps all over XBL, but guess what... we have had close to zero downtime.

This. I've been upset about not being able to play some new games online, but it really is a get what you pay for scenario. I know they have an alternate way of funding, but Xbox has a lot more income going towards Xbox Live.

But, whatever I'm glad they're online now.

i completely agree, XBL is a great service and the only downtime that ive had in 5 years is a total of 24 hours where they were updating the dashboard

PSN is good though, and it will eventually make everyone pay for its services

i dont agree, someone from sony said they would make the free service continue into the long term, probably as competition for xbl

[Synge]

I hardly noticed it was down.. I almost never play online on my PS3, the only thing about the outage that irked me was the leak of users' personal info.

Oh, and I remember XBL going out over Christmas a couple years ago. Wasn't quite as bad as what PSN has gone through though.

You don't understand what he was in agreement with then... You may want to go back an re-read the thread.

That was because of an influx of new users, though. They've since then buffed up the servers to prevent against that.

I never remember XBL going off during Christmas, but then again im never at home on Christmas, always traveling to some relatives house

For real? wa wa we wo /borat voice

What to download what to download...I wanna say inFamous, but I wanna download something I can play over and over instead of just a campaign i'll blow through once and be done with it. Little Big Planet is the obvious choice, but what to get for the other...hmmm.

Or I could get little big planet and killzone for the PSP...but for starters I don't have a big enough memory stick for that.

I just want the store to be re-stored (forgive the extremely lame pun) so i can get my demo on

[Fr0stByte]

dead nation and lbp

for meh psp...killzone and pursuit force....thanks synge i had no idea

[kupo.]

I just wanna the PS 3 Store back. I've bought a PS Store Card and now I can't use it -_-

But yaay! We can play online, that's good ^_^

[SiC TwiSteD]

im glad that they're giving some free stuff away to their users, i mean just a hey its back up would've sucked

[ZXDarknessfalls]

Little big planet for free? Thats sweet all on its own lol

[Muffincat]

I already have three of those games (LBP, Super Stardust, and Wipeout), so I guess I'll get the other two o.o
