PlayStation Down!

Hacked and Down.

I've been on holiday this last week but I didn't even need the internet to hear about this story. The first I heard about PSN being down was on Radio 1, the UK's most listened to radio station, it was the top story for a day on their news segment. When something gaming related is on national radio you know it's quite serious.

To say this was a bad week for Sony would be the understatement of the year, the PSN network has been down for almost a week and reports say its could be Tuesday until it is fixed not only do Sony have to put up with the wrath of PS3 owners but now also government organizations looking at taking legal action for not keeping peoples personal data safe.

Portal 2 PS3 sales affected by PSN downtime.

PSN being down has effected one game in-particular Portal 2, being released just before the network went down players can't play online but they also can't use the integrated Steam that allows players to talk and play with people on both PC and mac. This problem is tipped as one of the reasons for Portal 2 not selling as well on PS3 as on the Xbox 360.

PSN is expected to be back online on Tuesday, PS3 owners will be hoping it is and no serious damage as been caused, for Sony the story will be far from over.
