It's still funny because you can't fuck a cartoon :v:

Seriously, ya'll need to chill with stupid bullshit about ponies. This about PSN being down, not about your raging boner of hate against a cartoon show meant for young girls.

The outage forced me to complete Portal 2 coop by myself. It was hard, but it wasn't very fun or satisfying.

You're awful at being witty.

Also, I can understand enjoying a fantastic, casual show like Adventure Time or something, and MAYBE even magical ponies, but the distance which you pony fans take it to is way too far.

[cardfan212]

I want to play some RDR with my bros, but I've been waiting a whole week now. Also, it's a good thing that I just recently removed my credit card info form my account.

I did watch one episode. I don't see why there is so much of an obsession over the show.
It's not as bad as some cartoons out there today, but doesn't deserve the grossly obsessive fandom it spawned.

Well actually you need to watch the first 2 to get the storyline and then watch 1 or 2 of the next ones and you're hooked

[Swilly]

I-I guess I was wrong :v:

Just a word of advice when the MLP fans take over the world all non MLP fans will be executed

[Chilblain]

I swear to god, Sony. All I want to do is link Portal 2 to my steam account. But I can't use the code without connecting my PSN to my Steam, and I can't connect my PSN to my Steam if the fucking network is down!

Why? :sigh:

And when the Darkspore revolution shows up, all people who like MLP will also be executed!

See? I can make up total bullshit too!

Ok, I've seen a bunch of speculation of why people think PSN is down, and I thought I should just post what the community knows in comparison to what Sony is telling everyone. The truth is, there was a new CFW (custom firmware) released known as Rebug ([URL="http://rebug.me/"]http://rebug.me[/URL]). It essentially turns a retail console into a dev console (not fully, but gives you a lot of the same options that usually dev's only have access to). Anyway, this new CFW was quickly figured out by 3rd parties (not Rebug) to give CFW users access to the PSN network again via the dev networks. With a little manipulation of the URL's through a proxy server you could get your hacked console back online. Not that big of a deal, right? Well, it also turns out that some people over at NGU found out that you could provide fake CC# info and the authenticity of the information was never checked as you were on Sony's private developer PSN network (essentially a network that Sony trusted). What happened next was extreme piracy of PSN content. Sony realizing the issue here shut down the network. Now, before you go freaking out about the latest information posted about Kotaku, no ones personal information was accessible via this hack. Not to say they couldn't get it, but no one is admitting to it being available. Anyway, that's the real reason for the PSN downtime. Sony is now rebuilding all of it's PSN servers to be more secure and (hopefully) make sure the CFW users cannot get online anymore.

Edit #1: To those of you saying that this is speculation, you are correct. But, it is speculation based on a lot of facts and the outcome seems to make the most sense.

1. Rebug was released on 3/31/11.
2. First guides of how to use the dev network to get back on COD games on 4/3/11.
3. Word of "shady" sites finding a way to pirate PSN content via the dev networks on 4/7/11 (basing this on posts I had to delete on the website).
4. PSN goes down on 4/20/11

Now, you can believe Sony's PR team which has kept you completely in the dark, or you can see the list of events above and come to your own conclusion. Now, this isn't the first time Sony has fought back against the PS3 modders from getting on PSN. A couple of months ago we had a utility called f*ckPSN that changed the necessary header information that was being sent to Sony to allow modified consoles back online. We were able to use it for about a month. Then came the new TOS, the mass e-mail to PS3 customers, and software update 3.56 and 3.60. So, once again, yes this is all speculation, but it is speculation based on previous actions and known facts.

Edit #2: Mathieulh just mentioned that he has been in contact with someone that has official access to the SCE devnet servers and it was posted to them today that only 3.60+ debug firmwares will be allowed on the dev network anymore. All earlier versions will be cut. If you want to retain your access you need to contact Sony and upgrade to 3.60 debug firmware.

Edit #3: Ok, it looks like some various news sites have picked up this story and taken it out of context. Once again, this is all speculation and information gathered from various devs in the PS3 scene. It might very well not be the real reason PSN is down, but as the timeline fits, it's a reasonable explanation. Now, as to Rebug directly allowing this to happen, that's not the case at all. Different CFW's have had access to the dev network the whole time. This is not new news for people in the PS3 scene. It's what people have figured out what to do with the said network that has caused all the recent issues. Saying that Rebug is what did this is like saying a gun manufacturer is responsible for every death that happens with a gun.[/quote]

Just finished reading that. If its true, fuck hackers. It is now official that neither side is right or wrong. Sony's worst fears occurred, the whole reason the stopped this hit them. They may have provoked them but its because of those dumbasses that justify Sony's claims.
