It has been down for 5 days now, I'm out of patience here.
I cannot imagine a Tuesday release with PSN down. If it's still down by then, I'll seriously consider buying an Xbox 360.

So this time SONY can say: what doesn't kill us makes us stronger...LOL

Today I woke up and you know what I found?
It's still down, what the FUCK!
And I thought it was only North America, then I just found out it's worldwide outage...

Is this related to the Amazon EC2 outage?

苹果的隐私丑闻没成class action lawsuit, 索尼的就抢在前面了，看怎么判吧。
