Sony shuts down PSN, saves billions and blames AnonymousBy ANONYMOUS, on April 22nd, 2011
Yesterday, Sony purposefully shut down its own Playstation Network servers to save itself billions in operating costs. This move was shrouded with rumors that Anonymous has yet again resorted to the unpopular DDoS attacks that led to the failed “boycott” of Sony products on April 16th. Sony, as always, has made a meaningless and vague statement about their network status in an attempt to counter any blame.

Despite their own miserable failure with Sony, Anonymous has not even had time to come up with a new strategy. In fact, Anonymous has entirely lost interest in wasting their time on Sony. Playstation 3 owners have reactivated their violent urges which are at a steady boiling point without Call of Duty: Black Ops. The last bastion of truly free press, AnonNews.org, has been under sporadic DDoS attacks that may have originated from “Sonyfags” or the Playstation Network itself.

Now with a scapegoat for all future network outages, Sony is free to mistreat their own user base without discretion. Sony currently has a plan in the works to create paid Playstation “Gold” accounts that will not suffer from network outages which disable completely unrelated services such as Netflix and Skype. This strategy is consistent with Reddit’s current “downtime” that allows only paid Reddit “Gold” accounts the ability to log in.

Free information and net neutrality is dying at the altar of Anonymous, as I have predicted. Public opinion is being manipulated by the global oligarchs who control multi-national corporations like Sony. The people are being whipped into a hate-storm that can only end with mass vannings of the Anonymous collective.

Exactly how I feel...Who do I blame?! ANONYMOUS is threatening Sony and Sony had to react to threats and shut it down. I don't blame them too much because ANONYMOUS have done stupid s#!t before with Ebay and paypal...BUT I'm really going to be piss if Sony has to charge us to play online...this will only hurt them in the long run. Speaking of the long run, Sony has Geo, so they are one up on the hacking world now.

I'm sure everyone would agree there's too much research going on and a lot of down time....SONY get the PSN up and running so we all can play!!!

ok, if they require us to pay, millions pf users will switch to 360 cause all their freinds is on it.

Me "WTF PAY FOR PLAY NOW? Hmm, 60 bucks per year...."
95% of my friend "Hey David, get a 360!! All of us are on it =D"
Me "Sell ps3 for 300 and buy a 360 elite"

Why would u play on ps3 and have to pay and have no real life friends using it but u can just go to 360 and pay with all ur friends on it?

Or ill just get a 360 and jtag it =D

I just posted a new thread....New Article from SONY!!! just updated 45 minutes ago!!

That is by far the dumbest article I have ever read. It's not funny. It's not even worth reading and I feel sorry for who ever typed it because that was an even bigger waste.

And anyone who even believed the article is stupid, ugly and has no friends. Just a complete waste of semen.

(Not directed at anyone in this thread.)

I will pay only if they bringing better stuff and way better support then microsoft with his Xbox360 otherwise i will sell my PS3 and go to Xbox cuz, come on thats enough Sony sucks so bad atm.

god damnit my ps3 is supose to be a sony computer enrtainment system it even sayz it wen u open ur ps3 up on the inside on most of the casing n shizz if they make us pay to be online then thats like paying for a whole another online -- did u pay to play online with pc?
isnt our ps3 a pc?
GOD DMNIT SONY UR FUKIN UP BIG TIME

Don't believe all you read
Look at the source and who wrote it who funded it etc

I don't know where to start with this sooooo forgive me

First
Sony has not blamed anon but said they are looking into 3rd party action. What this means is they know about anon actions in the past. NOT that anon caused it again
Devil in the detail mate
Btw i can show you a link which proves it not them and the cause in japan.

Second shutting down your own network to save money stupid when they could be making alot due to the easter break in the EU.
If sony wanted to save billions they would merge PSN into the network operations within the EU like the US has done. Unless that already the case.....

Statement thing what you do in PR to counter anything and reduce bad PR. By saying your looking into it and taking all measures you can.
All companies do

Scapegoat thing is semi true but for PR reasons they would do it. And also give them more time to fix the problem before being forced to pay out to certain customers.

Rest of it appears to fail how PSN works (even i get it at the most basic level i know )
And creates this giant rumour.

Sadly i don't know much about who made this piece so don't know if he been paided to say it or just trolling or his reason etc

Most likely pointless to reply to this just hope people read it and have some common sense.
Sooo with that am taking a bit pile of salt with this.

If we have to pay I'm getting an xbox cause it has more features and better online

ill play if they add more stuff like party chat, voice messeges like xbox360 n alot more stuff

or buy xbox360 lol
