AMBASSADOR OF VIRTUAL VIOLENCE

Activision Blizzard is concerned that the continuing outage of Sony's online services is preventing its users from having fun.

The Sony Playstation Network hack, which exposed the details of more people than currently live in the United Kingdom, has seen the firm take its online gaming systems offline and that has left gamers playing by themselves as opposed to against their friends and peers online.

"While PlayStation 3 gamers can still play Call of Duty by themselves, the outage has prevented them, since April 20, from playing against others over the Internet.

"We're really concerned about it," said Bobby Kotick, Activision's CEO, in an interview with the Wall Street Journal. "People are really disappointed."

Obvious as this may be, it's the first time that a games software house has come out with public criticism of Sony, and with some weeks yet to come before the problem is expected to be settled, more are likely to follow.
Sony was expected to start services up again this week but failed to meet its own target as it scrambles to shore up its security. Some reports suggest that the online service will be restored by the end of this month, putting the outage at about six weeks.

Probably lol, but they said "at least a few more days". This could be anything from friday til next month lol... I hope this week though, i bought socom on the day it went down, and the single player is beyond terrible. I only bought it for the multiplayer :\


i think a few more days is like 3-4 if it was a week he would of stated a week

and if they needed more time than the 31st deadline thats going around then why post a blog thread now

i get what ur saying i like certain games but i also have to have the feel of the game if i think the gameplay is rubbish i will trade it in

i bought bbc2 and played it for about 20mins and its terrible not my cup of tea

i used to bash mw2 for days on end and originally

i wasnt goin to buy black ops until i tested it with my neighbour who bought it

personally i like mw2 better than black ops

but im keeping up with the jones's and moving on up
