PSN Online. XBL Online 12/28.

right, because people work harder when they have less money.......

Guess you're unfamiliar with tenure... or CEO positions... or the difference between employee situations vs running a business...

guess you're unfamiliar with psn last gen and the "online service" on ps2.

Last gen "on PS2" ?

Oh you mean PS3 and PS2 online? Well, I played a ton of Starhawk on PS3 and Halo/Gears on 360 and there was no noticeable differences in their quality or consistency. Didn't bother with online for PS2.

The only major diff was cross game chat. Not a feature to be singly charging $60 a year for.

the gen before ps3, whatever. way to miss the point

Seems both Services are experiencing difficulties. Is this a hack...or traffic?

I was out of town?

EDIT: I guess Lizard Squad is claiming responsibility....

Spread that Christmas cheer twats.

well the ps3 online seems up but ps4 no.

No PSN the better part of the day, XBL working fine.

Nintendo Network still working.

Nintendo Network never suffered any issues. Apparently Lizard Squad sent out a tweet that said 'Nintendo for Life' or something like that.

What network?

Guys. Lizard squad has brought us all together for this momentous day. We should thank them.

@bunchanumbers:

Perhaps their reasoning is that of "paying for nothing".

Well if there is an actual cause for their actions then its not as heinous as it first appears. This is assuming that its the real reason.

Steam is up and running, and its a $0/Year subscription Fee.

Meh, I've had nary a problem, and I don't keep any credit card data on those services. Whatever.

Pathetic kids with nothing better to do than inconvenience other..fucking sad, hope Finest Squad punks the shit out of them.

why would anyone be bothered to mess with 14 people

Hmm. I can download stuff (downloaded a patch for GTA5) but I can't login on the PS4. Really wish these idiots got burned by this. MS, Sony, Ninty and all the big publishers should make a joint effort to fight against these situations.

TC, your flaimbait thread title is hilarious, xbox live IS down. Either way, this is fuckin lame. How can we take down these losers?

Can't even log into Xbox Live now. Someone really needs to take down Lizard Squad. Tired of their crap. My nephew couldn't even log into his PSN account on his brand new PS4 he got today. Asked me if I could help him and I told him that there was nothing I could do since the network is offline. Felt bad for him.

Oh they did it... I just tried to hop accounts on live to access and transfer from a mule account. Was kicked off of both accounts...

pricks.

Yea, its one thing to go after Sony, MS, or some corporation.

But to ruin a child's Christmas is just heartless. We have had the same experiences here. Tons of kids that cant play online.

Not exactly following the situation, I'll read up on it in the morning.

I agree, it is heartless. Thankfully I was able to bring a couple of my disc based games that I had for PS4 and he was able to play them offline. So at least he got some enjoyment out of that.

I guess it was fake that they were aressted.

It says limited / login services on their status page. I put limited / offline... If anything I flamed Microsoft for saying it is limited. They are saying some of you may be having problems. I'm calling BS on the some of you part on their status page. It's down. I just was booted off two accounts.

It says offline on the Sony service page.

There's no flaimbait.

We all can't log in on either service and the title is flaimbait.... /smh

Not really hard to see why more people are flocking to PC gaming than ever before.

Screw paying $50 a year to not play games.... Not that the consoles really have a good selection of games to play even if the online worked.

It's fucking BS.. I was going to watch some Netflix and crash.

Thank god I got my Amazon fire stick the other day...

Yea, now that I got a new monitor for my PC, I am looking to go back to PC gaming. My PC still runs games fine but needed a monitor. Just bought Dragon Age Inquisition on Origin since it was 20 dollars off today.

I'm fully up and running on X1, but PSN is still sucking the big one.

Where are you at? I'm in the St. Louis area. I was playing fine for a couple hours on Live.. then both of my accounts dumped. I haven't checked in about a half an hour. PSN I have had zero luck on logging in.

PFFFFFTTTTT

Canada/southern Ontario.

Thank God, cos my bro and I planned a coop MCC session.

@lundy86_4:

Well I'm off to bed I hope all you guys get to enjoy your hard earned purchases.. and they get this shit sorted.

Merry X-mas guys.

lol consolites BUT BUT WE PAY FOR A BETTER SERVICE, MUH CLOUD

hahahahahha

Xbox One has be fine for me most of the say, same with 360.

PSN seems to be having log in issues on the main page and at the console, but i managed to sign in to the store to get MGS Ground Zeroes on sale

PSN went down after midnight so I went to bed woke up still down

My online is working across the board. I guess I missed out on the fuss today.

300,000 servers though.

Err play offline games?

Single player games won't launch on ps4... No dragon age, no injustice thus far... I get Destiny not working, but I'm wondering, did Sony actually put in the very "online required" to boot a game that we bitches at Microsoft about?

@TheEroica: I can play GTA5 just fine. Perhaps those games require connections to their own servers?...

Dragon Age and Injustice are not sony's games they are from 3rd parties,are they digital or physical copies.?

Because the licensing is different and can require online connection even on xbox 360 that was the case with many games.

@tormentos: @Desmonic: dragon age sits on the opening page with the wizards and soldiers endlessly marching saying, "trying to connect to dragon age servers"

And injustice gets to the title page and goes through a long cycle of the save symbol and then simply won't go beyond the title page.

My injustice copy is digital and my dragon age physical...

I get the whole third party first party drm thing, but good god it feels like Im playing the xbox one before they changed policy.

@TheEroica: seriously, i fear for the future of gaming with this drm bullsh*t.

Ouch maybe the game uses online as an intrusive feature to scan for something.

Have you try them without been connected online offline,by offline i mean disconnecting your PS4 ethernet cable from your PS4,because maybe the game is instructed to go online and check something if the online connection is present.?

There is no reason for those games to not work offline if they are single player.

Yeah that sucks it is actually one of the reasons why i say 24 hour check ups were bad,i hope sony is not doing that shit because i will just sell my damn PS4 and go full PC.

@Vatusus: it's like the cherry on top of an already disturbing year in gaming with quality control.

I actually haven't gamed all week in excitement for my 6am game session this morning with dragon age... Complete fail.
