[Updated-4/24/11]Playstation Network offline
If your planning to do some online gaming via PSN in your Playstation 3 and get welcomed by error code 80710A06 you’re not alone. The Playstation is currently having issues and could last a day or two.
UPDATE – Sony admits that their systems have been attacked by hackers which forced them to pull the plug and do some maintenance. It’s been more than 48 hours and even i’m getting a little impatient at Sony’s slow reaction to resolve this issue.
”An external intrusion on our system has affected our PlayStation Network and Qriocity services. In order to conduct a thorough investigation and to verify the smooth and secure operation of our network services going forward, we turned off PlayStation Network & Qriocity services on the evening of Wednesday, April 20th. Providing quality entertainment services to our customers and partners is our utmost priority. We are doing all we can to resolve this situation quickly, and we once again thank you for your patience. We will continue to update you promptly as we have additional information to share.”
Check out the Playstation Blog frequently for more updates, i sure am since i want some gaming online done.
UPDATE – The group Anonymous denies involvement with the Playstation Network’s issues. [Source]
I’ve experienced it myself. As you try to connect the Playstation Network, you see yourself unable to connect with an error code placed on your screen.
“While we are investigating the cause of the Network outage, we wanted to alert you that it may be a full day or two before we’re able to get the service completely back up and running,” said SCEA Senior Director of Corporate Communications Patrick Seybold in a recent update on the Playstation Blog. “Thank you very much for your patience while we work to resolve this matter. Please stay tuned to this space for more details, and we’ll update you again as soon as we can.”
People believe it’s the work of Anonymous, a group of angry hackers taking action to the recent lawsuit between Sony and George Holtz. George Holtz is the person that has broken the Playstation 3’s security systems and Sony has taken action by suing the hacker. That lawsuit created Anonymous, who is now attacking Sony by infiltrating their systems.
They mentioned way back that they won’t be attacking the customers but the Sony employees only. There’s no actual proof yet if this is the work of Anonymous but whatever the reason to the Playstation Network’s outage, let’s hope it gets fixed soon.

im getting really impatient if we dont get it back 2day im switching 2 XBOX
this is not bad compared 2 xbox it was down 17 days psn is free quit bitchin
its been more than three days for me how long do they plan on making us wait
well Xbox 360 had an outage of a two week time so my guess for psn is a week or less
psn is starting to piss me off because i bought tons of stuff off psn while downloading kicked me off my psn account way 2 go sony im about to go to xbox360 and they suck hurry the fuck up
guys just b patient just play a campaign of a game or go outside…this psn error cant b fixed in an hour it takes time
I read on answers yesterday that psn will be back up today 4/24/2011 at 5pm and we get 50 credit hope this helps
RAWR!!!!!!!!!!!! GEORGE ANGRY!!!!!!!!!
GEORGE JUST HAD AN ENGLISH MUFFIN!!!!!!!!!!!!!
is it true that psn is back online at 5 oclock today
PSN IS UP!!!! IM ABOUT TO PLAY BATTLEFIELD 2 !!!!! FINALLY!!! U GET A FREE NETFLIX DOWNLOAD TOO!!!!! THANKS SONY!!!!!!
lying b*tch. is that the best story you could come up with? go back to bed with your mommy.
hoply is back 2 day its really annoying me
how can a multimillion dollar company get hacked by a small group of hackers
Same way Bill Gates could shut down the internet if he wanted to.
don’t you mean Al Gore…since he invented the internet?
Ok don’t always believe what you read. No, playstation network is still not up and Sony has no idea when it will be. So for everyone who “thinks” it will be back up at 5:00pm today, you might as well grab a book and do something constructive with your time as no one knows not even the CEO knows how long it will take. Do you really think that it takes a few hours to fix?????? Ummmm No. I guess you never had a virus on your computer either……………………!
8*( idc anymore…. i’m not in a good place, the way it just stopped. i didn’t even get 2 say bye 8/ this is the 4th day, & i finally passed out yesterday do 2 lack of sleep…. i hope it gets up & running soon…. gawd i miss her. 101% GAMER GURL & LUVZ IT! XO
seriously.the money i pay for games.the money i spend at pss.this is just so wrong.i understand that it takes time but this long is wrong.im nolonger a playstation fan.ive been 1 since it first hit the shelfs.im tired of the freezing,overheating,downage,excuses,and the fact you can’t ever get a simple answer from ps.anyone want a great deal on huge selection of games.
I understand how a company like them gets hacked but taking this long to bounce back is a little surprising.

still…. nuthing 8*( LONGEST ERROR EVERYZ! XO lol… 101% GAMER GURL & LUVZ IT! >8)
i have been looking at the comments for 4 days now i see people that are not worried about it on here telling other people not to complain about the problem if your not worried about it then why are u on here posting telling other people to get a life that is not going to make anybody feel better for us gamers that pay so much a month to play the online games on ps3 it’s not free for us then on top of that some of us pay for netflix so we are losen our hard earned money everyday it’s psn is down so why don’t the people that are not worried about it and like the outside and going fishen and stuff like that just stay off here and let us complain because we have that right we pay for it so stfu.
you can still log in to netflix if psn is down you just have to keep saying ok to the error message that says you have to be signed in to psn to use netflix.
ok thanksfor your hel man i got it to work now.
and what about the people who pay for playstation plus!!?
so for the people telling us gamers to get a life get off the gamen site and myob u go outside go swimming if not keep posting meening u dont have a life either
i pay 14.99 a month for dc universe online and i pay 10.00 a month for netflix so for the people saying psn is free then why is there psn cards to purches online game time if it was free we wouldn’t have to pay to play the online games we want so if you don’t have any clue what your talking about u need to stfu.
yes some of us do pay to play.i pay a lot!!! this has gone on for 2 long.the all mighty psn got hacked.psn fix ur problems!!!!!!!!!!
this is just so wrong.psn hacked.fix the problems ps!!!!!!!!!!!!!
when i called psn yesterday they said they had no clue when they would be back up and running they said even tech support didn’t know anything so i flew off hot and told him i wanted answers and demanded to speak to a higher up then i said i don’t care if i have talk to a higher up of psn because everybody deserves answers when i was put on hold for that i got mad and broke my phone into peaces
lol thats 2 funny
Well I guess that 5 o’clock stuff was a bunch of bull junk
yeah i see it’s 6:13 pm and still nothing a also have seen post saying psn don’t owe us anything they do when the people pay and buy psn cards to play online games.

we really do deserve some real answers, this is bs… sony is really showing how much they care about their costumers/supporters by keeping us in the dark about this whole situation and not letting us know when we can get back online! all they have said is we are sorry this may take 1-2 whole days and we basically have no real answers for you… well it’s been 4 days so cool. if i wanted to play games by myself i would just play my snes
i know right the is bull they keep saying 1 or 2 whole days then keep saying that if psn is expected to be down for a long period of time they need to atleast tell the gamers that.
i wish i could trade in my ps3 for a 360 right now
i know but don’t do that x box is a piece of crap its like trading a piece of gold for a turd.
lol. finally, the voice of reason!!!
ya but right now the gold is worthless and the turd is priceless lol
i just want to play online sony, thats all!!!
lol

i just got off the phone with psn thats why i say that.
so what do they say when u all them that its just maintenance or sumthing
??
they told me the samething that they had to shut down because of the whole hacker thing but when i asked how long it would be they said not even the ceo knew anything so then i asked if it was going to be a month or a year down time and the words he used was he could not comment on that i dont have a month or year to be waiten for that so i guess xbox wins.
i dont have the money to get an xbox lol i just want them to come back online lol and is the hacker the anonymous or whatever they are called
i guess thats what i have read in the past 4 days psn has been down.
PSN will be back up april 25th 2011 at 5;00 pm
if u know that why cant psn tell me that when i just talked to him how did u get that info if psn is being so hush hush about when they will be back up and running.
Good thing I have my 360 to mess around with while psn is down, Portal 2 is fun!
This happens when you mess with hackers, Sony never learn still being arrogant with their customers, I bet the site is now up. I hope that they’re just using the downtime to do some upgrades on their services.
i woulsnt believe any of these poeple their just trying to get our hopes up lol
either that or they just wanted there easter weekend.
i feel like taken my ps3 and smacking it with a baseball bat this is bull crap.
is there a way to download games offline without signing into the psn? i just want to buy a game lol
i dont know if u can do that or not.
well damn i guess im going to sit here bored i should have never went out of town
@wakaflaka: yes, hack PSN you’ll get it for free
please dont say that word thats the whole reason we are all on here.
yeah me hack it so i can go to prison and im not technologicaly smart lol if i spelled that right if i didnt then u know what i mean

I Dont Kno If This Is True But I Was Watching This Youtube Video Nd Dis Guy Said It Would Be Bak Up April 28 At 5:00 P.m….. PS.. All The People That Say Ur Switchin To Xbox.. You Guys Are Stupid… I Cant Believe You Guys Are Pissed About 4 Days… I Mean… CMON!!! You Have 365 Days To Play -4 = 361 Days Left.. CMON!! Add ElBORRACHO1234 To Play Black Ops….Ps… Decrypting And Reconstructing Firewalls From Psn Servers Dat Took Years To Complete Takes Some Time Not 3 Hours Or 3 Days… Its Like Trying To Tear Down Then Rebuild Cowboys Stadium In 2 Days…. NOT POSSIBLE
yeah but the only thing im pissed about is that they wont tell us when they got to have a guess of how long it will be and 5:00 is the same time every one is saying but its always a different day i wouldnt believe the hype lol
Ps.. Its April 24 8:13 Pm El Paso, Texas Here And Still No Psn

lol its just like an apacolypse. everyone is roaming the streets and they see someone with a car and start chasing it! XD you all are funny. Patience younglings! Just remember the fortnight xbox shutdown! PS3 FTW!!!!!
i jst went to spend my easter money on online games but the psn store is down so i cant ill prolly end up using it on alcohol or sum stupid
i must admit. i’m more frustrated about psn. than a one legged cat, trying to burry its own p00p in a frozen pond.. XP
Kevin Butler… save us
go outside, go to the gym, do something! you nerds threatening to boycott PSN are retarded
SO they wanna attack sony but not the players….yet the players are suffering with no online….
I guess El Paso needs better grammar teachers seeing ElBORRACHO1234’s reply. Encrypting passwords takes only seconds to a minute geez! lol I doubt Kevin Butler could, he just do marketing not the real technical stuffs

if im paying $300 for a system i expect to use its online features, SONY SHOW ME SOME RESPECT, YOU HAVE MY $300 ALONG WITH 600 MILLION OTHERS $300, YOU SHOULD FIX PSN IT SHOULDNT TAKE 5 DAYS THATS BULLSH*T
shit i payed 500.00 for mine and buy psn cards for my psn games this dont make any sense why they cant be more clear on a time line
i understand that there trying to make it anti hackable but cmon im a normal 16 year old just wanting to post black ops comentaries on youtube, & 5 days it just unacceptable
i cant believe you people honestly, do you really have no lives at all? its freaking free service and crying like a bunch of two year olds over split milk. get a freaking life, stop playing video games all day in your parents basement in your boxers with vassaline and tissue next to you and go out and freaking enjoy life, damn. go on a date, hell go fly a freaking kite. do something other then bitch about your freaking video games being offline, like thats the end of the world. especially when ps3 is free, i mean what if xbox did this to boast there network numbers for easter cuz hell microsoft you have to pay for everything and there if not worse service then psn, so all of you need to quit your freaking bitching, if you cant play your freaking video games, go outside and do SOMETHING!!! with your PATHETIC LIVES!!!
ps3 is not free i pay 20.00 dollers a month to play online games with a psn card dont talk shit when u dont know shit.
well its your dumb ass choice for paying to play, not my fualt, all my games i play for free, your the one making the choice overall psn is free, your the one choosing to give them money so yeah you stfu, i know plenty and im smart enough to not pay for the games i play and waste my money like a dumb ass, i already buy the game, i shouldnt have to continue paying for it to play, so i stay away from pay to play games. so yeah psn is free you retard your the one making the choice to give them your money you dumb shit.
and if u dident care so much why are u on here reading the post and comenting on the u need to myob and stfu asobinichan
because i was just curious as to whats going on with it is all, being curious dosnt mean im fucking obsessed with it and have nothing better to do with my time unlike you. i have a girl, go to school part time and have a full time job. so im good thanks, was just curious as to what was going on with it, honestly i just want to be able to watch netflix on my tv again, thats why im wondering when it will be back up, i dont really care about the gaming aspect of it all that much. hell i really only bought a ps3 for the free network service, blu-ray player and streaming options. i only have like 3 games for it at the most. lol.
superman…. ur paying for psn? ¿o.@? from who? the guy in the cardboard box behind wendy’s? lol IT’S A FREE SERVICE!! XD u should go get ur money back…..

ZoeyZombie any comment for the man in the cardboard box i didn’t think so smart ass u didn’t know a damn thing about the psn cards people have to buy to get on there online games and u want to put people down and talk shit and don’t even know what the hell your talking about.
I bet google helped you with your grammar on that reply! good job Google way to go!
read the 20 dollar bill you used before spending it on psn, it spells “dollar” not doller, geez I bet you don’t read manuals!
if u go to any game stop or radio shack look for a card that says playstation network on it 20 30 and 50 then tell me its free ok.
i bet u need to shut the fuck up i know that much
if u want to get technecel grammar includes . ? ! and so on and u don’t use any.

WTF is technecel?!
CALM THE FUCK DOWN
i would but they keep stirring the crap up
all i want to do is play my fucking game, i just got mortal kombat and socom 4 and both are getting pretty damn boring without online these mother fucking hackers ruined my entire week and by the way why the fuck would someone think that there $5 dollar lawyer could win against a multi billion dollar company like sony

Superman your the dumb ass who makes the choice to play pay to play games, psn is free your just retarded enough to go buy a game that requires you to pay for it lol. all i got is GT5, Initial D extreme stage and MvC3 and guess what there all free to play, and the cards are optional if you actually want to buy content off the fucking network, no one is pointing a gun to your retarded head, although they really should.
I do not no
ATTENTION EVERYONE…CALM DOWN. Playstation network is down for the moment due to hackers. we all know it but thats what happens,its taking a long time to fix because they’re trying to prevent this from happening again, and they have to keep it quiet so the public doent go insane and people (like quite a few of you) start freaking out and change over to xbox live…which is worse, if you go to the playstation website there is a gray bar you can click on that will give you this information
“We sincerely regret that PlayStation Network and Qriocity services have been suspended, and we are working around the clock to bring them both back online. Our efforts to resolve this matter involve re-building our system to further strengthen our network infrastructure. Though this task is time-consuming, we decided it was worth the time necessary to provide the system with additional security.
We thank you for your patience to date and ask for a little more while we move towards completion of this project. We will continue to give you updates as they become available.
During this time you may:
Not be able to access the PlayStation®Store
Have difficulty signing in to the PlayStation®Network
Not be able to play online games
See a maintenance page when attempting to access the PlayStation®Network

someone is getting super-manned here LOL, I believe psn plus ain’t worth buying, oh my! imagine if the hackers got our personal details on PSN! they know our address! also our IP addresses! they can hack us! damn you Sony!!! Is this the reason why its free?!
Hello everyone! I found a site where someone said that the PSN will return on Tueday (Monday in JP Servers). Sadly i read this yesterday and i dont remember the link so i cant really give proof. All i can say is Dont get your hopes set to high but there is a chance it will be back tomorow.
Ok i found my source ill put what they say and also a link
If your gaming network is down and you know it, clap your hands. You should hear the furious sound of clapping emanating from Sony headquarters, as we’re now into day four of the PlayStation Network outage.
For those of you still scratching your heads as to why your console is throwing up error message “80710A06” whenever you try to connect up to play some online Mortal Kombat, Portal 2, or SOCOM: U.S. Navy SEALs–talk about a bad week for the network to go down–let’s recap.
The outage officially began on Wednesday with Sony itself noting, that evening, that, “We’re aware certain functions of PlayStation Network are down.” The note came straight from the mouth, er, keys of senior director of corporate communications and social media Patrick Seybold. And that was just the beginning.
Seybold jumped back onto the Sony PlayStation blog on Thursday with a bit of worse news: The network was still down, Sony was investigating, and it might be a day or two before gamers can jump online and frag their friends again. The online community reacted with a bit of frustration, but patience: It’s not like major online console services haven’t been down for inexplicable—and longer—periods of time before.
Friday rolled around and Seybold brought back the same news as before: Network’s still down. However, he did shed a bit of new light on the reasons behind the downtime. According to Seybold, Sony purposefully shut the network down to address an “external intrusion” that hit the PlayStation Network and the company’s Qriocity service.
Sony didn’t go into any additional details as to what that “external intrusion” might have been, but unverified reports suggest that a denial-of-service attack targeted the primary PlayStation Network server. As well, additional denial-of-service attacks allegedly went after PlayStation Network servers that house user account information and, according to the report from PlayStation Universe, administrator developer accounts were even breached at one point.
Initial suggestions pointed fingers at Anonymous–the hactivist group that previously targeted Sony with alleged denial-of-service attacks. Pundits thought that Anonymous had re-upped its retribution campaign against Sony for the company’s legal pursuit against alleged PS3 jailbreaker George Hotz.
According to a Saturday blog update from Seybold, Sony is taking this unexpected moment to rebuild its infrastructure even better than before–hence the continued delay.
“Though this task is time-consuming, we decided it was worth the time necessary to provide the system with additional security,” Seybold wrote.
Sony officials have yet to issue an ETA for when the network might reappear. However, the source speaking to PlayStation Universe claims that Japanese servers should start reappearing on Monday, with U.S. and E.U. servers popping back up on Tuesday.
In other words, hang tight, PlayStation 3 fans: Everyone gets their turn on the wheel of downtime.

Sony spokesman Satoshi Fukuoka said that the company had “not yet determined” if the confidentiality of PSN users’ personal or credit card information had been undermined by the “external intrusion”

I saw on the news that the hackers can get your information.They can get your email, where you live and credit card number. Someone is representing all Sony PSN users. This means Sony has to testify in court. This is what I saw online and on the news. Sony said the hacking started April 17-19 and they claim that they did not know the hackers could get personal information. Also for all you gay Black Ops losers this is a chance for you to get outside and get a life. I’m pretty sure you haven’t seen daylight for a while and it will be good for you. WOOT WOOT CAPS LOCK RULES =)+<
WHEN WILL THE PSN BE BACK UUUUUUUUUUUP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
