I think it's horseshit the standard isn't "here's a free PS+ day for every day we were down." I don't need handouts everytime a server shits the bed, but I would like what I paid for.

If Sony doesn't at least extend the Flash Sale that would be pretty lame. A free month of PS+ or something would be a nice gesture.

If it ends today that'll be less than 48 hours of downtime. When it was down for a month they gave out apology gifts, this isn't nearly long enough to qualify.

Less than 24 hours for some people, like I said I've been online since about 1 AM last night and was online as late as 9 AM Christmas morning. Plus, yeah, DDoS attacks aren't realistically preventable for them right now anyway. I was just thinking that they could give away some token gift as a victory lap for beating out the One yet again. It would be hilarious PR. "XBox Live was down and what did they give you? Nothing. Well here at Sony, we love you. Have a free week of PS+".

I swore my 2nd DS4 came with a micro USB cable but I guess I'm wrong its a bummer the servers have been down but The lizard squad drama is pretty fun what with their personal info being released etc. (assuming it's real) I mean how much is it costing their parents credit cards to do these attacks anyways? Who's "hacking" them?

What I'd like to see come out of this is a reevaluation of their policy on digital purchases and second consoles. I have a main console in my family room as a primary so my friends and family can play all my purchases on their own accounts. My second ps4 is the one I use primarily, which is typically not a problem since I'm logged into psn and have access to all my games, bit with the psn down these last few days, this console I use more often had been rendered all but useless. Ideally, my user account should be made "trusted" since it is associated with the correct psn account, and I shouldn't be locked out of all my digital games every time the psn is ddos'ed.

Did any of you have the same problem I had? I opened my ps4 and the charger for the DS4 didn't fit. The one that was packaged in it was a mini USB, not a micro one. Luckily I have android phones, but

Turns out that it wasn't, but anything to calm down the masses. This on the other had was just an inconvenience, not really the same thing, I don't see any freebies coming out of it.

Well, duder, considering this same poo poo was going down with Microsoft a few weeks ago, I expect Sony's min wage phone jockeys to do the same thing Microsoft's did, and placate me with a month or two of live/plus. Edit: an answer to what's going on would be cool, but not really what I'm looking for, as an unsatisfied customer paying for a service.

So I'm playing the PS4 version of TLOU and I'm in that car sequence when the uncle takes them driving and blows off that family walking because HOLY poo poo BARN IS ON FIRE WE HAVE A KID! And then the car just somehow keeps driving takes flight and enters the void. I can hear the dialogue still but there is nothing but emptiness. I can move the girl around in the back seat but there is nothing out the window. And I can't return the game today because every gamestop has like a 3 hour line.

Regardless, we probably have to wait for Sony to put all the PSN fires out and for the CS lines to return to normal-ish operations (even with everything working they're getting more calls than usual because of all the new PS4 owners, and could also be a smaller-than-usual crew because it's the holidays). You'd need to know how heavily you were affected all told, after all.

Kinda lame you can't. its a ps3 game. the ps4 isn't designed to be backwards compatible because the ps3 was very weird and running its games would make the system much more expensive. look for it on ps now in the future. its popular enough to be on there once they get out of beta.

I don't think it is unreasonable for them to credit current PS+ subscribers the days they lost since they have already paid. Demanding free games for a day or two is however a bit much. What was I missing with the flash sale ? I have $8 in credit burning a hole in my pocket.

Saying "I want a free month and this is reasonable pick up the phone jerks" is a pretty far cry from looking for reimbursement on a few days of service for an entirely non critical application though. I wouldn't have a problem with a wallet credit or something for the outage, but that would only come out to like thirty cents so Im not gonna rail about it.

I was way more pissed off about the update that bricked my PS3 because I couldn't use my console at all than I am about the online service being down for a couple of days. Yes, I would like to shoot children in the face playing CoD but I figure they'll get online at the same time I will. That's me though, I understand being grumpy about a paid service not working. Except companies can choose to make their games playable w/o a PS+ sub so they're at fault, too.
