And I just found an infamous 2 beta in my email!!!damn, I hope sucker punch extends the beta, I haven't seen any news on the matter though...
As far as I'm concerned and I'm sure many other PSN users they need not bother bringing it back up until they add Cross Game Voice Chat and a decent party system. PSN and SONY fails! Sonys consumer relations sucks as well and shows that they don't appreciate their consumers.
meh with games coming like la nior , inFAMOUS 2, duke nuke and shadow of the damned ..... I could go all summer without psn lol.
I can see this taking them awhile to resolve... especially if they are trying to determine whether people's credit card info was stolen or not.
Some hackers really fucked up shit with this one:p hopefully they are taking this down time not to just improve security but to improve psn as a whole.
At least Netflix was working... Though, I'm quite pissed about not being able to play Portal 2 online. :(
Effing Anonymous douche-nozzles.
And before someone says Anonymous claims they didn't do it, I call bullcrap. When Anonymous says this is all because of "Sony's incompetence", what they're trying to say is "It's not our fault we hacked PSN -- blame Sony. Also, please don't arrest us.".

... actually the first thing we'll likely have to do is a firmware update! Also, rumours are that it should be back up again by Tuesday morning (apparently they have confirmed this to one person I know by phone, and Zen studios is saying this on their forums with the following:
""We have been notified by Sony that PSN will be up by Tuesday's scheduled release of Sorcerer's Lair. If anything changes we will let you know." (a friend is following this game and saw this).

Ouch. My condolences PS3 owners, what a nasty period of downtime. I might now own a PS3 but I readily sympathize with people unable to enjoy their favorite games.
There is probably no way to know but I would be curious what the number of furious gamers were that traded in/sold their Ps3s for an Xbox360 because of this outage. I would have guessed a low number but with the 2 massive releases last week and the fact that in this day and age kids can't handle being without online capabilities I would bet Sony lost quite a few fanboys.
Ell, yeha, it sucks, but at least give me time to finish Yakuza 3 and The Saboteur. They will probably give the days off line as extended time to their on-line services like Free Realms and PS Plus.
@elsa I've heard similar things on various other sites. I called sony support and they pretty much said the same thing except that the earliest would be tuesday and the latest would be on the weekend.
I'm sure they're working on it 24/7 at this point, I mean they're bleeding money the whole time PSN is down, even Sony's not dumb enough to half ass something like this, but what the hell are they even doing? I just want to buy Neutopia!!!
I do feel bad for sony in this situation. Its not like they intended for this to happen. They need to do something to make up for it though.
As long as this shits been down they might as well add some new features to a firmware or something. I'm calling it day it comes back up well be treated to a firmware update.
I don't think sony is going to bother giving away a free game or something. So the least they could do is have a firmware with new features so the downtime wasn't completely for nothing

Hopefully this ends well for all those affected.
I find Sony's lack of transparency concerning the matter a bit disturbing though.
Sony's refusal to confirm or deny the legitimacy of the concerns that PSN user's personal info may have been jeopardized tells me that Sony hasn't yet realized the full breadth of the breach.
Hopefully this will be sorted out soon.

Ok these kids are seriously fucked up in the head. It is SONY's product, SONY can decide what we CAN and CANNOT do with it. If people continuously do things that sony does NOT want us to do, SONY will attempt to stop this. This is JUST like jailbreaking ipod touches and iphones, yet there was no anon attack on apple, and because there was no attack, apple legalized jailbreaking, The government just needs to shut these retards down once and for all so we can get back to our peaceful lives.
Its a free service, they owe you nothing. If it was XBL then something would have to happen. Sony could prove me wrong though and treat ps3 owners to something? a psn game?
I really feel for the people who were looking forward to Portal 2 co-op. I'm unaffected since my copy is for Xbox 360, but I know a lot of people who've picked up a PS3 copy.
Like Tycho says, Sony really does need to get their shit together. The Network being down, while unfortunate, is not nearly as damaging as the piss-poor manner in which Sony has handled the matter.

... speaking of that great header... is anyone else having "notwork" issues with Dtoid today? I'm trying to post a blog and have lost it 4 times already and have to start from scratch (it's picture intensive). Periodically the entire site also has loading issues... I just get blank pages.
Is it just me?

@Lemon-Fresh interesting, I am wondering also if you noticed more Xbox360 sales since the Psn outage?
