One Year Later: Reflecting on the Great PSN Outage


Recommended Posts

April 20th has a strange place in history. The evil fascist dictator Adolf Hitler was born on April 20, 1889. Famous horror author Bram Stoker died on April 20, 1912. And of course, potheads are exceptionally fond of the date (but chances are, you already knew that).

 

But April 20 will live in infamy among the PlayStation Faithful as a result of The Great PlayStation Network Outage of 2011, which began on April 20 of last year and lasted until May 15. For nearly a month, PlayStation Network users were left high and dry by hacker exploits. Sony took the PSN offline once it realized it was compromised, but by then the damage was done.

PSN just went down again, am unable to connect.

 

Edit : Just managed to connect again, that was a weird 10 odd minutes, Net working fine, PS3 browser OK, but PSN would give instantly "Failed to connect to..." message.
