Just another thing I'd like to say about this whole PSN outage.
Sure this whole thing sucks and you might feel you need to be compensated with free games or what not, but is it really necessary to attack Sony, when we all know it was a malicious attack by some gutless keyboard warriors who can't afford big trucks to compensate for their "short-comings" so they do this instead and for what purpose? E-peen?
Please be aware that the people at Sony are working really hard on this - ON CHRISTMAS. They are giving up spending time with their families and friends to fix this FOR YOU. So cut them a little slack guys. There are other things to do then play video games.
One last thing, ask yourself this. Would you blame the bank if it was robbed?

This is Sony's fault. This is not an isolated one time incident. I put up with not having access to my PSN for over a month when I had the PS3. Sony's main computers for the film industry were hacked just a week or so ago and now Sony has the PSN hacked again.
I managed to buy 3 games on Christmas day but the downloads failed. I have several games I cant play because they require the PSN login. Sony will not refund my money as I can buy all the game but Madden 15 for my Steam PC,
Also, Microsoft got their servers back u quicker.
The biggest mistake Sony made was still selling games even though they knew people were unlikely to have them downloaded. Sony should have put a big notice when you try to enter the PSN store on your PS4 that their network has been attacked with a DDoS and they are taking the network down until it is resolved.
Sony just tries to ignore the situation and they wont even give refunds. It is funny how they managed to charge credit cards when nothing else works.
Sony's reputation is getting very bad because they are always a dollar short and a day late with it comes to matter of security and they do nothing to reimburse the end user. Yes they gave out free games I already owned a few years ago when PSN was last hacked.. This should be a situation where many people lose their job at Sony and Sony gives any $60 game to free for PSN members,

i so totolly agreed dean290000 it is Sony's fault for not haveing good software were this cant happen
Here's what I know from the research I've been doing...
- The morons at Lizard Squad took down PSN and XBox Live.
- They only stopped when Kim Dotcom paid them off.
- Sony still hasn't gotten their servers back up yet; Microsoft's are back up mostly
- Microsoft owns and runs their own servers, yet I read that Sony leases theirs from Cisco
Based on my own knowledge about networking (I'm a 20+ year IT tech and programmer), it sounds to me like Cisco's network sucks and needs to be rebooted, and it's very possible that if they're (likely) running Windows, many of those servers are probably hosed. I'm guessing Microsoft, being the maker of Windows, has contingencies for this, since they know all too well what garbage their OS is.
Which brings me to this topic... one of the main reasons these DDoS attacks happen is because of all the security holes in Windows. Not on the servers; rather on individual's PCs. The ones that end up with malware that allows these hackers to quietly send out the network traffic that brings down business sites like PSN, without the PC's owner even being aware of it. So, really, you can thank Microsoft for this mess.
Meanwhile, I'll continue to sit here on Christmas break NOT playing video games. Grumble.

But why do you feel you need to be compensated a full price game for not being able to play onlne for 3 days? You have not had funds taken from your credit card, they don't have your identidy. The most they should refund you is the 3 days from your PS Plus subscription you've been unable to take advantage of - which would roughly equate to $1.05.
Cash or cheque?

I agree it majorly sucks that it's been down for so long. If it had been entirely Sony's fault, I might agree with some of those suggesting a free game or other significant credit. Instead, I think Sony should maybe consider giving people a free month of PSN. For those who bought brand new systems and were unable to use them, I think they should go a step further and maybe given all of them a free year of PSN. They have a chance to turn this negative publicity into a positive event in how they handle it. Let's hope they do so.

They actually didn't stop when Kim Dotcom offered. They actually sold his offer in vouchers to high buyers. PSN is still down.
That doesn't make sense, though. He said if they mess with it again at all, he'll terminate the vouchers. So the supposed buyers would have to know this as well.
In any case, I'd like to know WTF the feds are doing... they should be tracking these bastards down and nailing them.

Funny you should mention that. The anti-Lizard Squad hacking group I guess reverse hacked (if that is even a word) them, found out their personal information (names, addresses, date of births, even their parents names, lol) and posted it on their website. The group is called Finest Squad. I'm not gonna post the link to their site but I'm not gonna stop you from typing in their groups name in your Google search bar
And to add my two cents in. I'm pretty annoyed its not up yet as everyone else. I would have loved to have gotten in a lot of gaming with my 4 days off. I dunno why it's taking so long. RobG's post did shed some light on it to me about their servers. But you know what, instead of sitting at my computer and complaining, I turned it into something positive, went out and got lunch and drinks with an old friend I haven't seen in a long time. You know, leave my man cave and enjoy the sunlight for once.

We don't know. It's been 3 days, I reckon it will be a couple more. I hope I'm wrong though.

I'm glad I'm not into MP and not buying games online or I would be majorly pissed.
Now I might be wrong as I dont play MP much, but I think paid PSN did not much improve compared to free PSN(PS3). I thought the whole idea of paying for online is to have better situation? Sony really needs to invest in their network security
