Right here! I just bought Mortal Kombat, Socom 4 and Fallout New Vegas right before it went out and since than have yet to turn it on. Since there is no online I have yet to turn my PS3 on even though Fallout is a single player game. Guess I realized I am an online gamer. I have been on my xbox playing NBA 2k11 and Gears 3 beta online the whole time.

well I realized that people make rash decisions such as people selling there ps3 because they cant play online. Probably just Bro gamers. Also How annoying some people are giving the current situation.

Why would you need online to play New Vegas? :|

Anyway I'm just used to being online when I play no matter what game, so it's weird not to be. However many of the games I've been playing were single player anyway, so it's no big deal to just continue on with them in offline mode. But I do want to get online with SOCOM 4 and also play Portal 2 co-op, so anytime now Sony... get the servers back up. :P

Not always, but I did buy Portal 2 and MK before the crash. Looking forward to things coming back so I can fol around with some co-op. As to the "Bro Gamer" guy, he should be careful about tying in the social with the negative. It's the people who claim they can live without connections to others that worry me. That sort of attitude is symptomatic of a sociopath.

Well if it weren't Portal 2 I'd be really upset. But now that I'm only a few chambers away from beating the SP (gotta go back for some trophies) I really want to play some online co-op.

I had a period of adjustment. I spend a fair bit of time playing single player but while logged in and generally sending messages to friends and so on. When psn went out I kinda lost all interest in using the PS3, would try playing various games only to change my mind 5min into it (or right after I got the disc in lol). Now I'm fine with it though, playing Fallout 3 and planning on running through Demon's Souls again for fun. I still find myself hitting the PS button to check the friends list alot though... habit. :S

I was primarily using online play to access the store to see what ad-ons were available for games I owned and what stuff was on offer on PSN+, since the network has been down though I've bought a few games to play offline, including EA Active 2 which I am having a lot of fun playing, and Operation Flashpoint: Red River which I am finding difficult, but, worth the effort if you take the time on it.

I realised that I'm a 99% offline gamer and that I mostly use PSN to sync trophies, communicate with friends, use the store and newly backup data

if you're a 99% online gamer perhaps you shoul reconsider being a gamer to began with. Nothing wrong with online but a strong dependance on it isn't a good thing. I would strongly suggest any of you peoples go out there and buy a single player only game out for the time the psn is down, which is a considserable 3-5 more days. Bayonetta would be a good start, sly collection is a pretty cool guy as well.

Yeah, and you may want to wait untill PSN is back up anyway. FNV is absolutely terrible without the patches.

I'm a 99% offline gamer. I was going to start racing some of my friends in Nascar 2011 once the patch comes out, but other than that not missing it too much. What I really miss is my psn friends and hulu on my tv. Luckily I can still watch netflix.

I have tons of single player games and split screen games. Take this opportunity to play the Uncharted series, Valkyria Chronicles, Batman AA, Assassins Creed, MGS4, Heavy Rain, infamous, etc. There are so many great games out there that people miss due to addiction to online games like COD (not saying that is the one you all play) that it is sort of sad.

I haven't played PS3 for a long time.... for more than a month I think. I had exams. PSN being down has nothing to do with me not playing though, I'm only concerned with my credit card info. Online gaming can go to hell, as far as I'm concerned.

Not me.

I never really played online makes even with PSN up.

I only played SP games, and when I wasn't playing a game, I'd just chat to people. That's the only thing that I can't do at the moment that's I'd even slightly consider a "bummer."

I didnt use my ps3 as much as I do when its online. I do have many singleplayer unfinished games but I usually end up playing something online with whichever friend/friends that is/are online at that time. I dont really feel like playing singleplayer for some reason. I miss the people though, not the games itself. AND I realy want to play Portal online at last :P

I quit online months ago, and before that I quit it a couple more times... Each time I went back it was the same thing. Kids whining, raging, or spamming the chatbox. Do not miss it

I would've been mad about this like a year-to-two ago when I was big into online shooters, but most are terrible now so I just play MLB 11: The Show, GT5, and GTA IV while online is down. I want to get Sonic Adventure :(

good thing games are still been patched so long as the ps3 is still enabled on your router. Unless im a freak accident since Dragon Age 2 and GOW3 both patched for me on start up On topic its sad some people are so addicted to online. I enjoy it ofc but theres to many great singleplayer games to play to much..usually a game here and there although I wanna get my motorstorm rank up and some portal 2 co-op done...but even with PSn i prob played online maby 20% of my time if that

CoD multiplayer is pretty much the only thing I play on the Ps3. I have games like assassin's creed 2 and gow3 but I've only gone through them once or twice. Nothing beats playing with other people imo, and I can't stand to have too many games based on singleplayer. Of course I've never played anything like fallout or oblivion, so maybe I haven't had the right experience. I am slowly getting tired of call of duty and fps games but I just can't quite find the right multiplayer genre to delve into. If I had a better pc (of my own) I'd go back to mmorpgs.

I used to play games online most of the time my PS3 was on, but I started playing MW2's campaign right around the time it went down. After it was announced that PSN wouldn't be functional for a while, I started getting back to the point I was in GTA4's story, whose saves I lost when my PS3's HDD corrupted. I have more games like Dead Space and Burnout Paradise that I have yet to complete due to the loss of my saves, so it's not that big of a problem to me. Then again, I haven't bought any recently released games, which makes my position different from most others who were itching to play Socom 4/Portal 2/Mortal Kombat online. That's gotta suck.

I barely play online anymore, if at all. If I don't have anyone specific to play with, I just don't. So 99% offline for me as well.

I've been going down "the single player experience" route for the past few years now. It's been much better. Especially financially.

I don't play tot much online so no. But it did make me realise that some people rely on online way to much. Seriously psn being down is not the end of the world... Some people really should give singleplayer a try.
