So the PSN is down. Again.

Looks like the PSN is down again, and according to Sony, it wasn't planned: https://twitter.com/#!/PlayStation/status/116542137138544640

All I wanted to do was watch Nexflix :(

Well berkeley. Explains why I couldn't sign in.

Wii win

Nein.

Wiis are stupid and I hate them

Xbox win

Til it breaks.

Hmm, seems to work fine on my HTPC.....

HTPC win!

I'd rather have this then replace my XBOX for the 4th time (from experience) and it seems Netflix and Wii sports is the only thing I found the Wii is good for

Looks like i'm playing Borderlands tonite! OH NO! THE HUMANITY!

Oh wait.... Ultimate Fighter season premiere tonite, too.

Oh dear, whatever shall I do. Play Xbox? Wii? Dreamcast? Atari? PSP? DSi? DS? 3DS? N64? Gamecube?... I could keep going. it's kinda sad actually. Man i'm pathetic.

In reply to mndsm:

Why? I have a PS2, N64, Gamecube, NES, SNES, Genesis and a gameboy advance. I used to have an Atari and ColecoVision but they got burned up in a fire. The only reason I'm not playing them right now is that they aren't here.

I'm either going to play starcraft on the computer, keep dicking around on the interwebs, watch netflix or just play final fantasy 13 or the Sims until the PSN comes back up

Looks like it might just be a system update. I am downloading it now, it seems like a pretty hefty one.

Nope. Looks like it is still down, probably related to the update though.

Shoot, I have an Atari 2600 and a Bally Astrocade.

I am set.

What the hell is an astrocade?

Not thrilled with Sony lately. And by lately I mean the past year and a half. Force me to sign up for this stupid online community thing (PSN) that I don't use or care about, then let some hackers take my credit card number, then make it crash every couple of days. Thanks, Sony, thanks. Definitely looking into Netflix for the Wii.

How do they force you to sign up for it?

You have me beat. I only use it for netflix anymore. Besides, my wife and I bought it used off of a friend for $150 with several hundred $ worth of games and accesories.

I have considered a PS3, but only for GT5, and then mainly for the TG test track.

And I have ZERO desire for a 360 and the RRoD.

Is it crashing more than i'm aware of?

And I'm going to be starting on a MAME emulator for pinball over the winter.

Yep. I have too much games.

only had my 360 for a few months... but no probs yet lol.... but being on a SD tv I prefer the netflix interface on the Wii... text size is made for SD tv... can't read it on our "little" 27" SD...

HTPC will be in my future... can build (or buy) one that will do anything you need for pretty cheap... only network issue that might kill it is your ISP being down :)... and even then you'll have your movies avl

PSN will be back up within 2 hours according to a few sites. I'm less than worried.

My 360 starting freezing constantly within a month of buying it. The neflix interface on the PS3 is pretty good, I can read everything on the 20 incher mine is hooked up to.

Also, it's back up

Whatever dude, still garbage! Was out for so long, my world stopped!
