Sony Playstation 3 Network (PSN) Outage Sends Gamers Into Rage
By Richard West on February 28, 2010, 10:23 pmEarly this morning on February 28th, 2010, the Sony (NYSE:SNE) Playstation 3 Network (PSN) went down leaving gamers in the dust. Most new games sold these days require an Internet connection and a free login to the Playstation Network.
Gamers in Outrage
Active gamer Kevin Smith said, “I just bought Dante’s Inferno today and I can’t even load the game.” Many of the best selling games are completely offline today. Gamers are at the mercy of Sony fixing the problem. According to Sony’s PSN Twitter page, “We’re aware that many of you are having problems connecting to PSN, and yes, we’re looking into it. Stay tuned for updates.” Also, released, “Readers/followers are confirming that ‘slim’ units (120/250 GB models) are connecting normally.”
According to an active gamer at the GameSpot Forums, “I am getting the error too, seems like EVERYONE is at the moment… it is obviously a trophy network sync crash/error on Sony’s end, their phone line is jammed up and their site is way crowded with these complaints.”
This type of outage shows how much that the world relies on technology to just work. When it doesn’t work as expected, there is an uproar by the community. For now, it looks like most PS3 gamers will just have to take the day off.

ddd007 I believe Adam Sandler said it best when he said “you’re mad at your dad not at us.” we all will have to pardon him as he is phenominally upset as this server maintenance will leave him unable to play madden 2007 online anymore as it’s the latest version of madden he was able to afford
plays station sucks Xbox 360 is the king
you still didnt answer the question dddoo7 little racist white boy
That was a bit presumptuous but since you put it it there, onlythe John Wayne gacy’s would wNt to receive something like that in the mail
at least we dont have to pay to go online
I gotta say I agree with all the ‘calm down!’ comments…chances are this’ll get fixed in a day or two. I just got Heavy Rain–and yes, I wanna finish it tonight…but how utterly sad is your life when a day without PS3 sends you into an uproar of any kind? The world’s pretty cool from a vantage point that isn’t your computer chair.
Come to think of it, PSN did kick me off a few times last night…my router sucks though, so I didn’t think much of it. At least our console doesn’t spew fire, eat games, and red ring. I’d count your blessings–that should kill some time before the PSN is fixed.
And racist crap. Give it a rest already–you know if anyone of the “offending party” was anywhere near you, you’d be silently sitting there trying not to make eye contact with your mouth shut. You don’t even actually feel that way–you just say it online because you can.
And by the way your character is questionable at best
your givin him way to much credit jtbaby lmao

I’m PO’ed at this point. Sony better have a good excuse for this. I lost all of me saved game data because I thought it was my machine acting up again. Now I see it is world-wide. Toyota is not along any longer.
still coming with the blow up doll huh, your conscience is saying ” i just did another joke that didnt go over, i really dont need to be alive right now.”
what word did i spell wrong?

i take it gixxer is a fan of my shit cock saying lol… wooohooo! :]
gixxer im not even paying you no mind, dont choke on ddd johnson
as youre going at it like an ethiopian
u spelled GENERALBUNNY like GENERAL”Y”BUNNY! HAHAHAHAH
hey flaming homo aka jt do you seriously think your going to win your fighting like a 5 year old so wait till your balls drop then post a big boy comment
my taco stand? just give it a rest, the blow up doll joke wasnt funny, and the taco stand thing lacks relevance completely as im white soo not sure where you were trying to go with that one
ddd thats the best you can do to get on my is cuz i put a y on the end of general cmon now it was put on in the haste of typing to you cornballs, but i love the animosity keep it coming
playstation can rot in hell
why dont u play mw2 jt or mag oh yea like ddd said ur just a rectum jockey u cant play shooters only sports games if ur going to play just that i belive they have the wii sports and other games like that out
Jt i will give you the respect your male rectum jockey self deserves if you can explain to me why your on this forum when you have this said “girl” next to you thats naked? and she is saying um honey are you gonna stop fighting with the online kids and try and get it in the right hole this time? lol when we all know that you probably have a voice recorder in a Spencers Gifts blow up doll
its tking u long enough to come up with something to say
you guys havent come with one good joke on me, not a single one, ddd all you have to say is adding the y on the end of generalbunny, generalbunny you mustve said the blow up doll joke atleast 8 times, and fyi it wasnt funny any of the 20 times, the other 12 are foreshadowing as i know its your only joke so we have the unfortunate pleasure of hearing it 12 more times, and gixxer your only joke is a corny joke that ddd said so all you guys dont respond to me unless its going to be funny please
u guys are all too much go to bed
Jt we all know that you beat your little shit cock like it owes you money because you cant get anything other than a blow up pam anderson. go rub off a blank into your blow up doll scrub
