I just looked through the comments. DID anyone accuse you of "Sony hatin' bias"?

"Sony has issues like everyone else."
Yeah I've been playing Wii, XBOX360, and PC games online the last month. It is just like playing on PSN. Well except for the fact that it works. And the fact that I have no concerns about my credit card or bank account being compromised. But yes, Sony has issues like everyone else.

You shouldn't, for one second, set this aside as yet another 'well shit happens' as any company worth their salt would know to shore-up the login/authentication side of the infrastructure for a mandatory password change involving millions upon millions of users.
I sincerely hope that everyone is changing their password to one which is unique to the service as more attacks are imminent and this crumbling re-implementation is a wonderful time to execute such attacks.
Once the servers have withstood the onslaught for a few weeks then, and only then, should you even consider trusting Sony with your personal data again.
This is a trial period for Sony and so don't be fool enough to think that everything is all safe and secure.

So...you're that crazy guy that stands on the street corner with a sign that says 'The End Is Near'. Got it.

In other news, a rumored list of Project Cafe launch games was leaked today but later proved to be fake when Valve and Epic were listed as developers.
They loathe Nintendo more than IGN and Game Informer could only ever dream of doing.

@pokota - well... as the CEO of the SDF, you kind of do that pretty much almost every time you post.
I kinda saw this coming a mile away. People were itching to have PSN back up and so naturally when they get home from work or school... the first thing they'll do is get on and get the update and change their password.
So they were a little too ambitious with their rollout and got DDOSed/slashdotted by their own users? Oh well, websites get bombed out with traffic all the time and people don't flip their shit then.
Surpriiiiiise. Then again I've seen the same happen with... I forgot what it was, but everyone was trying to sign into something at the same time and it screwed a lot of people up.
@PrivateIronTFU
Nah. I'm just managing my expectations for a company which has repeatedly shown their ignorance of and ineptitude at many basic, yet essential, elements of modern technology like random number generation, encryption, data storage, security, and load balancing for a known fucking quantity.
It would be crazy to not expect the worst from a company which continually delivers just that.

Well, that was expected.
By hey, what's 30 minutes if you've been waiting for almost a month, right?

What are you talking about? Because I don't like Jim Sterling, I have to be a fanboy? Are you really that simple? If anyone doesn't agree with you or some blogger you like then instead of arguing against what they say, you just go the easy route with "dur hur ur a fanboi"? I guess I can consider you the CEO of the stupid list, then. Jesus christ, learn to frame an actual argument or counter-argument. The amusing thing here is that the one thing I don't do is accuse Sterling of being any more biased than anyone else. Seriously, think a little bit.

@pokota.... Dude, you're the hugest Sony fanboy. Any time anyone comes into a Sony thread, you get all up in arms and attack them, even if they never once addressed you personally or anything to do with you.
Seriously, please just try to get a life. Don't you have a furry convention to attend or something?

@Rigby
Shut up, you're just a Microsoft fanboy. Woo, I can do it too.
Ah, furry convention, I don't even know what that means exactly, but that's awesome the way you attack someone personally who has never even addressed you. God damn, dude, I've never even insulted your precious Xbox. Get over it, really. The 360 is just fine with me. Do you feel better now? Has your breathing returned to normal?

@pokota... I own pretty much every current gen game console, including portables. I don't need fanboyism to like one console over the other. In fact, I was playing Portal 2 on my PS3 just tonight. Of course, I do have opinions on the giant corporations behind such consoles, and I do express those opinions from time to time.
Por ejemplo (I'm going a little Spanglish for you, btw), I was slamming Sony in a previous thread awhile back and you came in and tried to act superior and act like my attack meant I was exclusively an Xbox 360 fanboy, and I've noticed that's kind of a common thing of yours. I rarely see you in other threads, but during this whole Sony blowout, you've been practically nuzzling up to Sony's cold metal disc tray and cooing, "It's gonna be okay baby, you and me..."

Bwaha, I get it now, you're still pouty at me for making fun of you for using the word "ironic" incorrectly. I see now that you even tried to cover it over with some convoluted explanation. Wish I'd seen that sooner. Really, you shouldn't have bragged about the English professors thing, it kind of makes it look even worse.
So, yeah, sorry if I hurt your feelings. You 360 fanboys can be so sensitive, jeez.

Oops, you really do have hurt feelings, don't you? That's so sad. =1
What I've been doing, and what I will continue to do, is reject speculation and rumor presented as fact, and the sensationalism demonstrated by the gaming press during this entire event. I don't like misinformation. I don't like when people tell me I should base my decisions on forum post or chat logs.
I have no problem with someone who dislikes Sony for their corporate policies, but if you tell me that Microsoft loves you, then I'm going to call you a hypocrite. I don't agree with many actions taken by either of them. The thing is, though, that the 360 is much more popular in the west, and thus gets a free pass on english speaking websites. Yeah, I could just yell out that I hate Sony, too, and fit right in, but that's not how I'm wired.

How on earth is this a failure?
Psn is back, all servers have a maximum load.
Do you seriously expect them to be able to re set nearly 100 million passwords at the same time???
I got back online last night, it was fucking awesome! Finally got to play socom online and do far 10/10.

*sniff* *sniff* I smell bullshit, I'm glad L.A. Noire isn't out till Friday, I'm not turning the Black Box of Firmware on till then. Soooooooooooo Glad I've got an Xbox too.
actually..we can still blame the hackers because if they didn't do what they did EVERYBODY wouldn't need to reset their passwords -_-
Just can't catch a break. E3 should be amazing this year. And by amazing, I mean a catastrophe for Sony.
@SC
:D thats good to hear, not a lot of people I know play it. Cant drive themselves away from Battlefield and call of.....something or other.
Whats SOCOM like online then? Its reminds me of the ghost recon AW multiplayer from a while back, which is no bad thing in my book.

I couldn't log onto the Steam servers last night, and I assumed it had to do with this somehow. Was expecting this to a point, nothing is restructured like this without a hiccup or two. I'd expect another quick firmware update in the next week just to take care of the little issues that pop up.
As for the downtime... seems pretty normal, but I think Sony could've also picked a better time to bring up the PSN. Doing it on a Saturday night might've worked for some, but most will try and set things up once they check the news and try it themselves Sunday afternoon. So PSN got bogged down Sunday afternoon... situation normal.
If Sony waited longer for people to get the message before flipping the switch for more regions, customers would be complaining that they're taking too long. They couldn't win either way... I prefer this to the latter option, though.

Changed my password around 10 or 11 am yesterday, and played some online for like 3 hours. Didn't receive any email from Sony but I'm just glad the update and password change went smoothly.
I reset it, but then I had a problem day bc I was in such a frenzy to give any new password to simply get on and play, i already forgot it today and spent an hour trying to remember it...
