Just when I thought I was in, they pull me back out.

Xbox Live has gone flaky again too, seems like the attacks aren't over.
#WakeUpSony now trending worldwide. People are reaching boiling point, and I don't blame them.
Should have never gotten back into console gaming 
Are there any single player games on PS4 or Xbone that are affected by this, or is it just multiplayer and the stores?
Multiplayer. but people can't download the already purchased games also.
Ah right. Good job Microsoft went back on their always-online plan otherwise everything would be in the shit.
Is it those cnuts, Lizard Squad that are behind it again?
for new xbones, it has to be validated once online. so, people with new consoles during christmas were screwed.
Its a bit ridiculous now these consoles cost a lot of money and to play online it costs a fair bit as well are we going to be reimbursed for the down time that we have paid for with our PSN+ and XBL accounts, at the moment we are 3 days out of pocket with the down time with no end in sight.
Webstore appears to be loading and I could sign in, thats a decent sign.
Oh yeah forgot about that. That would be bloody annoying.
I don't know why I bother getting into online games once it goes back up. Only took half an hour for it to go off again.
huh?
Was just able to sign in for the first time.
Sorry that didn't make sense. I noticed in destiny thread you were able to get online.
I still cannot
I think it's up in Uk. Some parts of US and Ca still having issues
If there was anyone else still having problems change your MTU to 1473 in the network settings.

Cool. Cool cool cool.
I tried to change MTA to 1473 but it still doesnt work
Just a heads up but I read that for those of you who used the MTU fix and have no plans to change it back are leaving yourselves open to some bad lag when playing online as it makes the packet size of data the PS4 can send to the servers smaller
Does changing the MTU have any effect on your settings if you're using something like Unblock.us to get the American Netflix for example?
I'm a bit wary of using that quick fix for that reason although it's getting to the point where I'm going to have to try it.

It's just means you're sending less packet size.
1473 is not some magic no. It can be any no. less than 1500. Ideally, more than 1450.
It should not affect your vpn.

Down again. It's beyond ridiculous now
If these motherless fecks are intent on bringing it down with DOS attacks is there anything Sony can realistically do about it?
Genuine question, I'm clueless about this shit, should they have improved their security since the first round of trouble or is it all just pissing in the wind?

Saw a great explanation of DDoS attacks on Reddit the other day.
I'm assuming that by somehow recognising 'fake' data they could block it, and increasing the capacity would also go some way to alleviating the issues caused by these types of attacks.
I'm back in. Took me a couple of tries to reconnect to Destiny but it's working now.
I have a question about my PS Plus account.
Since I got my PS4, I've given the PS3 to my sister. She probably won't play games on it very much, but she'll use it for Netflix and as a DVD/Blu-Ray player. Anyway, is there any way in which she can have her own PSN account, but still access the free PS Plus games for PS3 which I'll get through my own PSN account?

I think this might help? http://faq.en.playstation.com/app/a...fits-from-other-user-accounts-and-playstation
Excellent Olly, cheers.
I see Tomb Raider is on 16pounds on PSN store. Worth it?
You haven't played it already? Definitely.
No problem
Only got psn plus 20 minutes ago.. I bought PS4 in May and have only played FIFA14, 15 and NBA 2k15.
Just got my my replacement for the bricked ps4 I opened Christmas day.Working fine so far.
Fair play to HMV/Xtra-Vision they were very helpful and arranged for me to just swap it at my local store.Much easier than having to send it off.

Only way is to create fake firewall.

Nice of them to do it with it being an outside source that caused it. It's a shit present though.
