PlayStation Network maintenance extended

it really is dragon24/6. i’m still trying to figure out which day he’s off though.

You have to say this sucks. Although I am not affected, they should adhere to the time limits they set.

@51

If only it worked that way. Lol

@52
They are only antagonizing their customers with this. I think they should give an uppermost time limit and if it finishes early, then good.

Talking to yourself already I see. The studies were right, excessive video games lead to dementia.

@53

That would be really nice. I could see that having a better response, rather then keep pushing it back.

well now they are saying 11:00 pm on one site I was looking at… What you going to do that is what happens with a network you don’t pay for…. but…. I will have to agree with other people’s comments it is odd that they would do it on the day of DLC release Oh well at least I can still play…. Just was looking forward to some new zombie play

@41
i agree, this is totally f*****g rediculous! why don’t they just f*****g pull their heads out of their arses and tell us when the network WILL be back up instead of wasting our time? its not fair! in all honesty my respect for sony has gone out the f*****g window with all their issues and bugs! in all fairness, if your going to spend millions developing, manufacturing and selling a console, why not just do the f*****g thing right the first time! right now, me, a long-time customer of an entire range of sony products, am ready to take my ps3 apart to make a blu-ray lazer cigarette lighter and buy a f*****g X-BOX!!!!! sony, this is rediculous, and you may have lost one customer who has input alot of cash into buying your products, and if you continue doing, ‘this’ sort of things you will lose alot more customers! this carry-on should not be allowed, us, the members of the public deserve better!!!

Jesus people. Go play something else or read a book or get some exercise or something.

@58
just because we are outraged does not mean we spend our entire day playing ps3, we do have lives and i can say i enjoy reading and going out, but when im in the mood to play ps3, i should be able to play it, preferably online, instead of the network being down almost half the time!

Just ignore him, he’s trolling.

@59 You’re outraged about a online service going down for a single day.

You can’t play on your PS3 for one night. Big deal. It hardly warrants cursing and “outrage”.

“Half the time” is a major over-exaggeration. I think the general quality of the service sucks, sure, but when it happens, I just go do something else. Screaming about it isn’t going to magically fix whatever hardware malfunctioned this time.

Well i can’t imagine PSN to be down into tomorrow. (Hopefully). It should be up by the late evening at least.

@60
do you agree that even though the ps3 console came with free online play, they still made billions from it, they should invest some of that money into upgrading the network instead of all these maintenance issues!

Exactly.

@61
there is no malfunction idiot its just a maintenance check up it shouldnt take over 24hours it is 100% rediculous and unacceptable

@65

It might be possible they ran into a snag, who knows. But i understand how irritating it is.

@62
i reckon the network will be down 36+ hours, i bet when it comes to 10pm there will be another delay and so on

@63 That’s not how network maintenance works.

This sort of thing happens because hardware needs to be replaced on a regular basis. They obviously came across some hardware that needed serious maintenance.

I think their entire networking system needs to be severely upgraded, but Sony aren’t exactly exploding in cash right now. Even if they were, this sort of thing happens to even the biggest companies with the most up-to-date server architecture on the planet. Hardware is a fickle beast, and not one prone to always obey its masters.

*cue Skynet references*

@65 The entire purpose of server maintenance is to ensure that aren’t any problems with the hardware. A HDD could have died, a processor could have blown, a PC could have crashed. Parts need to be replaces constantly to ensure they work.

I get the impression you have no actual comprehension of just how large and complex these server infastructures are to actually operate.

GMT. Everyone knows GMT.

@68

Oh, i see. Yeah, I’m not really familiar in networking. Hopefully there isn’t skynet robots running around the Sony office. Lol.

@68
i do know how complex they are and as i and u just said, it is a check up and for a multi-million company it shouldnt take over 24 hours to locate and replace the hardware, and they should have a backup network, one that allows online gaming and nothing else! my point still stands that this is 100% rediculous

*damaged hardware*

well everyone my son is playing online as i type . 356 000 on black ops 2 multiplayer we both have ps3 consoles and i cant sign in psn maintenance ???? has been playing for a couple of hours now we are in the uk

I can play online as well keep getting the message for the Revolution and buy the seasonal pass even though I already have it. I get the logic of most people on here if we want to play we should be able to we did buy the games we did buy the system and telling people to go read a book is such a Douche comment to make. I read at night before I go to bed …
I do a lot of other things like work 55 + our’s a week come home feed my Husband do laundry walk my dog and if I want to play play station in my down time then I should be able to do so… So how about we stop assuming that people have no life when this maybe something they just enjoy when they have the time. Unlike some people that have no jobs a live on these games. I work Hard so I can play Hard that’s all I got to say !!!!

This is disgusting, iv always played playstation since its first launch an always will but as a person that spends money on the network to buy DLC I think they should have the common decency to finish their work when they are supposed to so I and so many others can do some serious gaming , sort it out Sony NOW!!!!!!!!!!!

Bad enough having a browser I cant use due to some resolution thing..now this

I didn’t even have school today I just did nothing besides basketball practice all day

I have been a member of the PSN for 3 4 years now. i have gone out and bought a new Sony today thinking my Sony was broken. these update should be ready before use bring the game out. now i cant get on my account but in the same house my step sons can get on but i cant. this is a joke and i am seriously thinking of going to Xbox and pay a little bit more so i don’t have to put up with this nonsense.

PS didnt have this much trouble with MW3 and if i recall proply blackops1 had the same f***ed up problems. this is bull**** get on it you f***in s*** c****

For all you whiners that can’t stand 5 minutes without multiplayer, look at the shelf that has all those PS3 covers and pick one you haven’t played for a long time and just play it offline to keep yourselves amused till the maintenance is done!

I couldn’t play on my day off & now on the weekend they are still extending. this is ridiculous the only reason i bought the damn console, was that we get the battlefield 3 DLC two weeks early. I’m starting to regret not getting the xbox360.

Ell Ooh Ell at these replies.

Please ignore that drunken troll, he’s just here to copy paste internet articles. Follow my example, see how well I manage to disregard his attempts at thread derailing.

The only problem I had was that my system would crash when I’d try to go to the Playstation Store. Otherwise, I was playing Street Fighter X Tekken online with no problem.

Just checked right now and as of 5am, New York-time, it’s working perfectly fine.

Yup, online now. Just synced trophies.

Well… yet another annoyance of maintenance, guys.

Looks like I’m flipping the switch to Xbox for backup. -How many dang maintenances has Sony had so far?? Someone hacking them again?? If so then STOOOOOPPPPPPPPPPPUHHHHHHLLLLEEEEAAASSSEEEEEEEE!!!!!!!
8AM-8PM PST 4/15 PSN WILL BE UNDERGOING MAINTENANCE YET AGAIN. YOU HAVE BEEN WARNED!

^ Oh Give it a rest, do you have nothing else better to do.

I just want my Soul Sacrifice demo

^ Me too, hurry up wednesday
