Playstation Network is a Joke!

This is the first night its been on in nearly a month, now run along before Weaste comes and lectures you about how online works.
 
Weaste why isn't it up for us Swedes yet?

Discrimination:mad:
 
Yeah, Netherrealm have said they are going to continue supporting the game and the truth is MK has only been up on PSN for 3 days total because it went down. I think they managed to improve the xbox live performance so hopefully they'll pull through and improve the netcode so that its stable online. Even if king of the hill always has lag... since that ones much worse
 
Never should have logged out :(
 
MK has terrible lag right now anyway. And if you werent able to redeem your online kode before the psn went down then the only option to play online is to use the 2 day online trial. Thats the only option that doesnt use the psn store.

Used the trial, played 2 games. A bit of lag and beaten twice. My debut was a failure
 
Yeah had to use the trial too, still cant redeem my reptile :( Game lagged too much, was winning matches but you dont enjoy it when its so laggy. Watching the PDP tournament stream and a Netherrealm guy just said NR have tonnes of patches for the game and to expect significant improvements with the next patch. Sounds great
 
okay so playing a bit of king of the hill here. Got 4 players in the room and its not lagging much at all. Barely noticeable. Promising signs and its quite fun to be in there judging a match and then taking your turn with the winner
 
The controller is awesome. I'm going to get a ps3 to xbox controller conterter eventually so I dont have to deal with that clunky garbage and can also use my arcade stick on my 360

Hmm how you mean? I'm pretty sure you can't use PS3 things on 360, but you can use a 360 controller on PS3, that's what I do when I play shooter games since I don't like the PS controller trigger buttons.
 
Yeah, I've seen it work before even though the reviews dont seem to be very good. So I know it'll do even if its temperemental
 
Still undergoing maintenance on my end.

Sony has a vendetta against me :(
 
How long did it take you lot to receive that email which lets you change your password? I've been waiting for hours!
 
I performed the update -- which failed the first time -- and then tried to sign in, at which point I was asked to change my password.

I did the update. Once I tried to sign in they told me they would send me an email so I could change my password via a PC. This was 5 hours ago. Tried again 2 hours back. Still haven't got any email.

They said email hosts are throttling mail due to the large amounts
 
You only get an e-mail if you've never paid for anything on the store right?

Anyway, who's next? First Sony, then Square Enix.........

Wat do you mean Weaste?

Anyway, good to see things are back up...
 
One of my accounts let me reset the password on the spot. The one I use to play online however, involves waiting for hours on end for the email. :mad:
 
having problems downloading the update, keeps failing
 
Still haven't received my email so I can change my password. 4 hours it's been now.
 
Now that certain PSN services have been restored and you’re once again enjoying online gaming, it seems a good time to confirm what is being offered as part of the Welcome Back programme.

Once we restore PlayStation Store, which will be just a little while longer, you will have the opportunity to claim your Welcome Back gifts. Please note that the Welcome Back programme is only available for those countries with access to PlayStation Store*.

- 30 days free PlayStation Plus membership for non PS Plus subscribers*

- Existing PlayStation Plus subscribers will be given 60 days free subscription.

- We are working on a Welcome Back offer in PlayStation Home and will share that when it is confirmed.

I would like to thank all of the developers and publishers involved in this programme for their support in making this happen. We certainly couldn’t have done it without you.

You will be able to access this content once PlayStation Store comes back online and we are doing everything we can to make that happen as soon as possible.

Thank you for your support and keep checking back on the blog for more information.

Free games list.
 
They don't really owe anyone anything though really, a bunch of geeks got angry and had to nerd rage and they were obligated to do what they did despite how annoying it was.

Isn't the implication that they knew about the hack into member details for quite a while before revealing it - and therefore their apology is for this 'deceit' and breach of trust rather than just for the inconvenience?
