  That's the two addresses I found on their website. I think I went to the one on University seeing as I was staying on campus. There's a whole bunch of cool shit to do there that it's hard to believe. Loved my time there and still jealous that my sister got to live there.

  Sony supposedly going to offer up free stuff for each day PSN has been down, on top of the already mentioned downloadable content and month of PS+.
• Sonofanump

  Has it been two weeks now?
• hoops23

  

  I think today marks two weeks.
• TBone14

  

  Any updates? I just want to use my MLB.TV app.

  Just beat the Socom 4 SP finally..... now I only have GOW 2 & 3 to beat!!!
  
  So, I decided to call Sony and all they could tell me is "within a week", they told us that on April 30th. I really don't know what to say on this now. If they're rebuilding from scratch, the network better be buttery smooth and add some enhancements when launched or very soon. I really would like cross game chat and just for chat within the same game. When doing on online NCAA football dynasties, the chat can break up while everyone is in the lobby doing our preseason and preseason activities.

  I'd be really pissed if this happen to Live.

  But again, Live had issues spanning 2 weeks back in 2008 where online was nearly unplayable for long stretches during that time.
  
  Of course, it wasn't a security breach, it was just server issues.
  
  I don't think any of us are happy about it, but there is more to do in life than be pissed off about not being able to play online games. My 360 hasn't been touched in months and I've been playing SOCOM 4's SP mode during the outage.

  i may get some free stuff if they are offering it up. even though i rarely (never) play ps3 online, i have an active account and thus HAVE BEEN SLIGHTED.
• I Wear Pants

  I'm not as bothered by the outage, which happens to all services at times but rather by the data breach. That's why this one is getting so much more attention than other console online outages.

  Yeah, it wasn't a slam on PSN. I would just be very pissed. I wasn't on Live in 2008.

  You can watch online still.

  I was trying to get on earlier today with my psp no luck there either. I game more on my 360 but bounce back to the PS3 everyonce and awhile.
• Trueblue23

  

  Sony is going to offer a month of free PSN? Awesome.. but I've already paid for a years worth, the 13th month free doesn't mean shit to me.
  
  And let's be real here Sony.. you are offering the free month to make people happy and to give them a small taste of PSN+.. which would lead to them subscribing.. you win twice.

  That's not really true. They have a lot to lose over this. If they took your stance they would be in serious jeopardy.

  Go with him...they don't HAVE to offer anything, but they will...its just fucking stupid to cry about what they are offering when they don't have to do shit.
  
  The more people that go to X-box the more space there is on my servers...peace out. I had X-Box when they had their issue and I was paying for it...then the fucking things hard drive quit and Microsoft wanted me to pay them to fix it...fuck you Microsoft, your faulty equiptment and your pay to play.
• WebFire

  It is interesting that people use PSN over Live because it's free, yet PSN is offering a free month to their premium content and people are giddy about that.

  Anonymous responds to Sony alleging that they were responsible for the credit theft

  Last month, an unknown party managed to break into Sony's servers and acquired millions of customer records including credit card numbers. Insomuch as that this incident occurred in the midst of Anonymous' OpSony, by which participants engaged in several of our standard information war procedures against the corporation and its executives, Sony and other parties have come to blame Anonymous for the heist. Today, in a letter directed to members of Congress involved in an inquiry into the situation, Sony claimed to have discovered a file on its servers, presumably left by the thieves in question, entitled "Anonymous" and containing a fragment of our slogan, "We are Legion." In response, we would like to raise the following points:
  
  1. Anonymous has never been known to have engaged in credit card theft.
  
  2. Many of our corporate and governmental adversaries, on the other hand, have been known to have lied to the public about Anonymous and about their own activities. HBGary, for instance, was caught lying a number of times to the press, to the public, and to Anonymous itself (in this phone call, for instance, ( http://tinyurl.com/68pbdj8) CEO Aaron Barr makes a number of untrue statements regarding the intent of his "research," claiming for instance that he never tried to sell the information to the FBI when e-mails acquired soon showed that he had been set to do just that; executive Karen Burke was also caught lying to Bloomberg about having not seen an incriminating e-mail that she had in fact replied to just a few days before). The U.S. Chamber of Commerce lied about not having seen the criminal proposal created by them for Team Themis; Palantir lied about not having any idea what their employees were up to; Berico publicly denounced a plan that they had actively engaged in creating; etc. There is no corporation in existence will choose the truth when lies are more convenient.
  
  3. To the contrary, Anonymous is an ironically transparent movement that allows reporters in to our operating channels to observe us at work and which has been extraordinarily candid with the press when commenting on our own activities, which is why reporters prefer to talk to us for truthful accounts of the situation rather than go to our degenerate enemies to be lied to.
  
  4. Whoever broke into Sony's servers to steal the credit card info and left a document blaming Anonymous clearly wanted Anonymous to be blamed for the most significant digital theft in history. No one who is actually associated with our movement would do something that would prompt a massive law enforcement response. On the other hand, a group of standard online thieves would have every reason to frame Anonymous in order to put law enforcement off the track. The framing of others for crimes has been a common practice throughout history.
  
  5. It should be remembered that several federal contractors such as HBGary and Palantir have been caught planning a variety of unethical and potentially criminal conspiracies by which to discredit the enemies of their clients. This is not a theory – this is a fact that has been reported at great length by dozens of journalists with major publications. Insomuch as that our enemies have either engaged in or planned to engage in false flag efforts, it should not be surprising that many of the journalists who have covered us, who know who we are and what motivates us – and who have alternatively seen the monstrous behavior of those large and "respectable" firms that are all too happy to throw aside common decency at the behest of such clients as Bank of America and the U.S. Chamber of Commerce – also have their suspicions that some capable party performed this operation as a means by which to do great damage to Anonymous in the public eye. Those who consider such a prospect to be somehow unlikely are advised to read about what was proposed by Team Themis in their efforts to destroy Wikileaks, and should otherwise take a few minutes to learn about COINTELPRO and other admitted practices by the U.S. intelligence community. The fact is that Anonymous has brought a great deal of discomfort to powerful entities such as Booz Allen Hamilton, Palantir, and much of the federal government; the Justice Department in particular is likely unhappy that our efforts revealed that it was they themselves who recommended the now-discredited "law firm" Hunton & Williams to Bank of America in order that the latter might better be able to fight back against Wikileaks. All of this is now public record, and anyone who finds it laughable that those or other entities may have again engaged in tactics that they are known to have engaged in in the past is not qualified to comment on the situation.
  
  Anonymous will continue its work in support of transparency and individual liberty; our adversaries will continue their work in support of secrecy and control. The FBI will continue to investigate us for crimes of civil disobediance while continuing to ignore the crimes planned by major corporations with which they are in league.
  
  We do not forget, even if others fail to remember. We not forgive, even if others forgive our enemies for those things for which we are attacked. We are legion, and will remain so no matter how many of our participants are raided by armed agents of a broken system.
  
  We are Anonymous.

  That's not how that works.

  So does anyone get the free download and month of PSN+? I've used PSN in the past so I have an account, but I haven't used it in ages.
