in my livingroom so my girlfriend could play games out there, but what do you know... Sony is yet again having network problems and I'm not going to even bother trying again later... When are these guys going to get their shit together? How many outages and hacks is it going to take? What in the hell are we paying them $50 a year for.... To not fix their network? To not add extra layers of security? Because that's sure what it feels like...

Thank you Sony.

I keep retrying this and it's the same thing every time, I'm surprised it doesn't say "Please try again next week."...

Are you paying Sony $50? I was under the impression you don't have PS+, maybe that was someone else. PSNow of course, doesn't require PS+ though.

Should SW start taking pictures every time their console online goes down? My Xbone was offline three days ago, that was strange. I checked the Xbox 360 and there was spotty issues. Luckily, I wasn't needing to play online. I didn't bust out my camera.

As far as PSNow, I am not a renter. I beta tested it and it was nice that a bunch of games were free for beta, but do what you gotta do.

I'll check Sony's PSN status...

Everything is good with PSN as evidenced with their site and with the users above. What a strange thread, but considering your anti PS4 stance in every thread, maybe it's not so strange after all.

---

EDIT: Honestly, I don't know what I'm supposed to discuss. Your situation? You already said you aren't going to try again and honestly, after your rage against PSNow in the past (that was you if I recall), I'm not really sure you ever were going to use PSNow. Are you trying to rally the forum? Are you trying to sell Xbones with anecdotal evidence? I don't get your objective. I see below you answered, you are trying to hurt PS4 sales....

You aren't really going to change anyone's mind in SW. Newcomers aren't swarming around here. So you are playing to the lurkers in hopes of manipulating them with your strange photo that defies the users experience here and PSN's online official status. Why do you care so much to change prospective seller's minds? I don't understand. Should we all create threads in an effort to manipulate people's purchases?

This sort of thing happens from time to time across all the machines. It would help if the entire forum could relate to your PSN issues and right now PSN is online for other users in this thread and myself. PSN is online for me right now as I am trying to get a Batman Origins MP trophy (I'll probably get it today too). That's a PS3 game, but I want to knock out the online trophy before the community evaporates. I turned on the PS4 just for this thread, and all is good.

BTW: Like the others in this thread, PSN works for me. Not sure what your situation is. I think that picture is old.

Complete garbage. Sony's PSN was better when it was free on the PS2.

Yes I do have PS+, this isn't Xbox Live though, they probably have a 99.X% up time so minute things with them is understandable, PSN on the other hand is probably in the lower 90% range, that's not understandable, especially with their network track record.

Most seasoned SW don't give a shit and you barely see any new comers around looking for advice

The fact that threads get hundreds of views in mere minutes speaks fathoms to the opposite, you should look into the 1% rule.

Cows respond with the typical "mah XBL was down once last year"

PSN outages are much bigger and well documented. Thank you.

Have they even moved over to the subscription based model yet or is it still rentals? I thought they went to a monthly subscription which is why I was looking into it and then this happened.

I can concur with this, most people don't give a shit about NyaDC here.

Looks like they've got subscription now, $20/month (set of games here https://www.playstation.com/en-us/explore/psnow/subscriptions/).

The same could be said of literally anybody, I feel no differently about you, have a nice day.

Yeah, PSN is definitely down more from my experience. It's still pretty rare on the whole... So it's not a huge issue.

I'm not sure. You could maybe call them if that picture is recent.

I'm literally playing Batman Origins on PSN right now in between matches.

I took it right before creating the thread, and checked again just before my last post, so whatever is going on this aspect of the network is not functioning.

Your anecdotal thread seems to be backfiring on you. Since there isn't much to discuss here, I'm gonna close this before it gets ugly.
