PS3 owners remain loyal following PSN downtime

I don't know, if i owned a playstation, i would be pretty pissed.. It's like having an apple product and the app store being down for a month or 2, these are features you buy the particular product expecting. On another note, the amount of money that sony must be losing.. shame..

I own a PS3, initialy I was very pissed, but eventually just accepted it... Its part of life or some crap like that.
But at the end of the day, I still love my PS3 and wont stop using PSN at all.

Now if they would just get the FREAKIN PS Store back up!!!
 
i know i am, throwing your toys out of the cot at issues each time is the fastest way to a stress related heart attack
 
Oh noes the PSN is down what am I going to DO!!??
Honestly, it's no different from having your Telkom lines stolen and replaced next month, just deal with it, go outside perhaps? It got me back into the Gym at least. I don't use the PSN for much I must admit, the odd multiplayer game and annoying updates everytime I dust off an old game and want to play.

My PS3 hasn't even been switched on at all since the breach.
What you fail to understand is that it has nothing to do with not being able to play games.

It has to do with my personal details; Stolen; Due to their negligence.
They knew about this security hole 5 years ago and ACTIVELY DECIDED to do NOTHING.

I will not be supporting Sony in anything, ever again.

I hear what you are saying having your information compromised. However there have been no cases of credit card fraud, and your so called "identity" gets compromised on a regular basis when databases of personal information are traded between companies. Ever wonder how random people phone you up and offer you their "services" (*cough sales*). Surprisingly my bank phoned me in regards to PSN related purchases over the last year and asked me to verify each payment as well as reissue me with a new credit card.
 
It's not like us PS3 owners can just decide to go out and buy an XBOX. PS3 is not a small expense.
For me it didn't really change much as 99% of the games I play are offline anyway.
I agree with Fayainz that it's similar to having your ADSL lines down, it will come back on in a couple of days, or a couple more.

After discovery and death of Osama bin Laden:
"It's amazing what the Americans are capable of when the PSN is down."
 
I used the Playstation Network when I got the PS3, and when I buy new games (updates etc). So, it being down has not affected me until I bought Mortal Kombat about 3 weeks ago....

I have not been able to activate online play, so even if the PSN is back online, I still cannot play online.

But I am still not upset with Sony, I know what a pain in the ass script kiddies and hackers can be when they target you... The only people to blame here or to be pissed off at, must be Anonymous.

So to them I say:

If you live according to the Hacker Manifesto, and believe in Freedom of information, then how about giving us your personal information :D This is a one-sided and self-righteous statement.
You guys have removed my ability to play games online for a month, and cost a MASSIVE international company a MASSIVE amount of income, which make you criminals. I hope you get your ani enlarged in prison!

You can play online :p:

Mortal Kombat’s Multiplayer is Free to All While PlayStation Store Remains Offline

Until PlayStation Store returns, Warner Bros. has suspended the "Kombat Pass," the one-use code (included free in retail copies) that enables online play for Mortal Kombat. That means anyone with a copy of the game, used or new, can play online for free. However, when PlayStation Store comes online, "users will be able to enter the Kombat Pass code included with Mortal Kombat or purchase a Kombat Pass for $9.99."

Thanks Deceptor!

I have tried this though, even tried the 2 day free trial, and I keep getting network errors, maintenance pages, etc...

I will try this again tonight and see if I have any luck!
 
Every time i try to enter the kombat pass it just says the server is unavailable due to maintenance.
I can download updates but nothing else to do with the psn works yet.
 
Good to see, have been following this for a while now. I know a lot of my overseas-based friends have been looking forward to PSN for a looooooooooooooooong time, especially those playing KZ2. Hopefully they will restore the PSN store for you guys soon.

No, my "so called 'identity'" does not get compromised on a regular basis.
No, I do NOT get annoying marketing calls as you do; Mostly because I actually take care of my information.
