I just bought ModNation Racers and had the system download 3 patches for it. I guess game updates and Netflix are the exceptions to this.

I don't know much about network infrastructure and security beyond Networking 101, but it's got to be more than a simple DDoS attack for them to be down this long right? And for them to take down functionality worldwide? That's hosed up. They stated there was an "intrusion" and that they have been down on purpose to conduct forensics.

Our efforts to resolve this matter involve re-building our system to further strengthen our network infrastructure. Though this task is time-consuming, we decided it was worth the time necessary to provide the system with additional security. Emphasis mine. They are apparently rebuilding PSN from the ground up. I assume this means rebuilding the cluster and not "re-coding PSN from scratch". A smart move if they believe there was any backdooring put in place.

The sun has finally been out, so I didn't even notice the network was down. I was going to watch NetFlix, but I can't get in. Sucks, but if this leads to a better PSN, I can wait. Wonder if we'll ever know what the exact cause was.

Different people have different experiences, but personally I've had no problem using netflix as long as I don't hit the circle to cancel a login attempt. If it tries to connect and fails, that's fine.

So has there been any word from Sony about an ETA on when it's going to be back up, beyond the "maybe as along as a couple of days," which was three days ago?

They are rebuilding something. Sounds like they were shown how massively inadequate their network security was by some hacker and it was bad enough to cause them to shut down and have to "rebuild" whatever that means. Just imagine that movie Hackers man! TYPE COOKIE YOU IDIOT

Argh, I turned my PS3 on this afternoon. Worked fine yesterday, now today it resets it's resolution and audio output (I have external speakers hooked up to it) every time I turn it on. Portal 2 launches with a big yellow triangle with a red exclamation mark in the middle, and when I go back to XMB the resolution is back to 567p (there or thereabout) from 1080p. System even thinks its running at 567p after I reset the res to 1080p. Tried the POP Collection and it just defaults back to 567p. What the hell is going on here?

Sounds like a failure in either HDCP (HDMI) or autonegotiation (Component or HDMI). Unplug the mains from both devices (including receiver, if necessary) and the display cables from either end for a few minutes, plug it all back in, and try again. If you do have a receiver, try a direct connection and see if it comes back. Also 576p.

It sucks when hackers break poo poo, but it's interesting that nobody is angry with Sony for not being prepared for "intrusions" like this and are instead frothing at the mouth over the attackers, whoever they are. Shouldn't a gigantic multi-billion dollar company like Sony have better safeguards for stuff like this, whatever sort of intrusion it was? I mean, what the hell did they do so wrong that requires them to rebuild the PSN?

A big company that deals with electronics/technology had a massive online portion of their gaming business get hacked and brought to its knees. It is more like a gunshop getting robbed...twice, after watching several other gun shops get robbed over the years near you. Anyways, I am not mad at them for it being down. I just wish they could try to throw out an estimate. Even if they acknowledge "This is probably never going to happen, but the goal is Monday!"

I'm not mad either, but I'm not really mad at the hackers either. People do bad poo poo, Sony has to take some responsibility for having created something that can be brought to its knees so easily. If it's a bank, it's sure got a lovely vault.

Well, I am locked out of netflix now. Last night it asked for my login information (which it never does) and when I put it in and tried to watch a movie it told me there was an error with the PSN. Oh well.

Like seriously, text chatrooms? Give us cross game voice chat already. This isn't rocket science. PSN is and always has felt like Sony said "oh poo poo, Microsoft has Xbox Live, just throw some poo poo together so we can say we have an online service too".

What they need to do is give us a proper set of features IN that barebones UI. Like seriously, text chatrooms? Give us cross game voice chat already. This isn't rocket science. I remember years ago during the PS3's first two years there was a discussion in one of these threads about Sony's troubles intigrating cross game chat and other features like that and if I remember correctly it revolves around the fact that the PS3 doesn't have enough memory allocated for its oline services and Sony would have to enforce an online features requirement with game developers, things best implemented before the system's launch. It's Sony's fault they weren't paying attention to what Microsoft was doing with the original Xbox, MS's test ground for XBL; and later the stuff MS did with the 360 with its one year head start. Big dumb move on Sony's part. But I expect the PS4 to be built with online services in mind. Hopefully, Sony lets its American and European branchs handle its development.

My PS3 inexplicably shut itself off just now and when I try and power it back on the light goes steady green for a few seconds, blinks amber once and then continuously blinks red. This sounds serious, anyone ever deal with this. This is the 1st generation 60GB model.

I like the XMB, but the PSN store has kind of a poo poo interface. It loads very slowly, there's long delays when you can't press any buttons or move the cursor when you go forward or back sometimes, and there's no way to just go to a 'new demos' or 'new games' section without getting lots of other poo poo.

Browser kinda blows too. Has anybody gotten it to work for Daily Show or Colbert Report? For me it'll ask if I want to run the plugin and then just sit there. Youtube works, though...

It also buzzes on my console. I don't know why, but I go in the store there's a buzzing sound from my PS3. Literally from the PS3, as in it keeps going if I mute. Exiting the store stops it immediately.
