    It's down, but it's not Anon. They even apologized to PSN subscribers for their original attack.

    Well the PSN is definitely down. Has been for 3 days now. I heard it wasn't them. Then I heard it was. Then I heard it wasn't. Then I saw this: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KyI5IrF_r0I
    I'm not sure what to think at this point. I'm just angry that I can't play online during my spring break. Check out the comments that I left for the video. My youtube profile name is KVSMARATHON. It's probably a few pages back now. I felt like my side needed some intelligent representation in protest to this. Sometimes name calling doesn't get the job done

    I haven't been able to get on since Anonymous took down Sony, so I just put my PS3 away for a while, plus I don't have the time right now, but to be honest I can kinda see why Anonymous did it.

    Its funny seeing threads at other forums of people freaking out because they can't play Black Ops. There is more to a video game then multiplayer.

    Yeah a friend of mine is really angry for that very reason. I can see why Anonymous did it too. I just think they're going about it the wrong way. They're only hurting other gamers. That is, if it was really them

    I think the whole thing is pretty obnoxious. Making a point is one thing but this is effecting a lot of people. Whoever is responsible, Sony included, is pretty lame in my opinion

    It wouldn't surprise me either way really. I discovered last night that Netflix works without being connected to the PSN. At least for the time being. That's what was really effecting me. I need television. The house is too damn quiet sometimes without it

    I don't think it's Anon that's causing the downtime, I think it's either another group of hackers, a splinter cell or maybe someone from /v/. /b/ isn't where EVERY hacker on 4chan hangs out.

    Online gaming reminds me so much of social networking sites thesedays: some people just can't live with the idea that you can use a PC online and not go near the likes of facepalmbook, etc.........and some gamers can't live with the idea of playing games by themselves, or just using lan games with friends.

    Does Black Ops actually work offline?

    Spoiler warning:

    Surprisingly there is a storyline behind Black Ops, and from what I have played so far, its somewhat enjoyable.

    If no one said this already, Sony claims it to be a reoccurring server problem they were never able to fix. It's back and bad, so they shut down most of the servers to be able to fully maintain the problem. It will take a couple days.

    It is not anon or anything, like everyone is claiming it to be.
