PSN Outage

[Jocky]

Well, 50 million PS3s sold worldwide....

So I guess the other 20 million are for those PSPGo owners

[The Preacher]

That assumes every console sold is connected to the service. And that every console sold was bought by a different individual. Sloppy fucking logic.

[Adam]

It also assumes that only 1 account per ps3 :p It's a free service so I would expect that their are plenty of multi users on them

[The Preacher]

Even with multiple accounts on some consoles, 70 million my arse. There's just no fucking way.

[Adam]

But but but! The Aussies said so! They carefully and diligently research everything!

To ensure the network’s integrity, Sony said it is currently rebuilding the service, which connects more than 75 million PlayStation customers over the Internet, letting them play videogames and chat together

Edit: Is MK9 even out in Australia?!

[The Preacher]

Fine. Well then, I'm announcing here and now that I am a legitimate national news agency, and I'm reporting that it's nine hundred and ninety nine hojillion trillion billion people who are affected.

I'd still be more inclined to believe me than Sky News or The Australian.

If Mortal Kombat is out then all the blood has probably been replaced with flowers and rather then finishing moves, the various characters now read poetry to bore the opposition to death.

Oh, hey. Then they got the german version somehow.

About the entire thing, i really don't care. My PS3 has been stolen way back and I only used these prepaid cards if I wanted to buy something in the store. No real personal informations have been saved as far as I know.
I would've expected that rather from Nintendo though.

[Ricass]

Makes me glad that the PSN constantly refused my card while I had a PS3. Still, sucks to have a PS3 at the minute, and there's no way that Sony will be able to recover from this unless they like, invent free energy or something.

It'll be forgotten about before E3, thats the beauty of us Gamers. We're so easily distracted
