@440; That doesn’t make sense. There are plenty of amazing single player games on the PS3 to play while waiting. 360′s games are usually best at online which you have to pay for access to, yet pay the same price for the game itself as the PS3 version of multiplats.

If someone can’t stand not playing online for awhile, then they should go to PC instead of the 360. The PC is far better in the online space.

sell your PS3 and get an xbox360. Sony is not turning the PSN back on for a looong time.

@autoxfool – to make things worse, many people out there do not have their original PS3s in which they created their PSN account/s anymore for w/e reason, be it due to theft, YLoD, or w/e. On rare occaisions, some PSN accounts have old email addresses that are old, out-of-date, etc. With that being said,those people may have issues when it comes to getting things back in order/regaining access to their accounts once PSN does come back online. At best, this this would be a headache-inducing hassle for them, & at worst, they may not even regain access to their accounts at all. See the issue here? Speaking only for myself here, but I’m not perticularly happy over this whole mess to put it as mildly as possible. While it may not have been totally avoidable, Sony certainly could’ve handled things better IMHO & taken steps to mitigate certain issues.

@autoxfool – I may add that, while the current PSN issue is the most widespread issue that affects the most ppl to date, this isn’t the 1st issue that I’ve had w/ Sony. Not once, but twice last spring (within 10 weeks of each other), I had gotten the dreaded YLoD. I go through the process of sending in my PS3 to have it repaired/replaced. Under ordinary circumstances, that would be the end of the story & just would’ve been mildly annoyed by the YLoD, *BUT* I had an issue w/the video content that I had previously bough on this account. Unlike PSN games, which can be put on up to 5 systems & Sony maintains a download list for them which is easily accessible, they don’t do that w/ videos. In the end all, on both occaisions, I had to make multiple calls to Sony, talk to reps that often enough don’t know what they’re talking about, and do ALOT of complaining to not only them, but to misc. gaming talk shows on internet radio to get the word out on the issue. Even then it took awhile to get my videos back. Initially, they wanted my to rebuy everything. Umm… no. I have ALOT of videos. I’m no Daddy Warbucksby any means, & even if I were, I wouldn’t rebuy them out of sheer principle.

@Autoxfool – I agree with your sentiments in your 1 post (#431). As I have mentioned before, I’ve already have had a 360 (& for quite some time too, I might add), but I always considered it my secondary system, w/ my PS3 being my primary one. While I’m unlikely to immediately go out & sell my PS3, if only due to the sheer amount of stuff I’ve bought via the PSN Store on both of my PSN accounts which I’d lose access to if I sell my system, I have serious reservations over buying anything else – be it via the PSN store or @ a brick & motar store. I may very well focus more money/time into my 360. This is rather significant seeing as I’ve been a heavy Sony supporter since getting a PSone in April ’97 & had been buying games, systems, accessories, etc like no other. Hell, in some circles, I’ve been labeled as a Sony fanboy. If my faith in Sony can waiver, what does that say for others, or even the state that Sony’s in?

Good riddance to all of you who are leaving the PS3 for another console. That just means less of you [DELETED] online. Thank you, That’s All, and good bye.

Diresgard that last statement, I never posted yesterday. Now I wonder how that happened SONY? Hmmm did someone get my details? Did They? You wont answer anyone let alone me. I didn’t sell all my stuff but it sure is collecting dust. My cookies I have em set to never expire, either that or you can copy the cookie, then when you get to the point that it has expired you can copy it back into your browser and be able to login again. Still find it disgracefully funny that I can log in here but not psn…..

At least with Xbox 360, you never hear of Microsoft losing your personal details! Ridiculous Sony!
