flameboy Posted May 14, 2011 Posted May 14, 2011 (edited) Most of the trade-ins are supposedly attributed to the fickle FPS/Sports crowd. You know, the type of gamer that only really owns a console for COD and Fifa, which doesn't surprise me in the least to be honest. They just want the same games and for the online to work. Yeah thats true! I could understand it if people did it on principle and decided they'd had enough and wouldn't go back. I'd guess the majority of these people will be back on the PSN with-in weeks off it coming back on. To be totally honest if I didn't have such a large library of both retail and downloadable games I would consider moving over to 360 not because of lack of online but because of lack of confidence in Sony. It's certainly gonna be a factor when the next gen hits for me. EDIT: I went to download update and it failed after 18% and now won't even try download, likely as a result of sooo many ppl downloading it? Edited May 14, 2011 by flameboy

Same was happening for me, try turning off you PS3 and trying again.
flameboy Posted May 15, 2011 Posted May 15, 2011 Same was happening for me, try turning off you PS3 and trying again. Yah did that seems to be goon along alright now.
Jon Posted May 15, 2011 Posted May 15, 2011 Yah did that seems to be goon along alright now. Don't hold your breath, mine stopped again at 47%
MadDog Posted May 15, 2011 Posted May 15, 2011 Stopped at 20 twice and now again at 46. Will get there eventually. EDIT Sony have started restoring PSN state-by-state in the US, says so on the official site.
Debug Mode Posted May 15, 2011 Posted May 15, 2011 It's confusing since you all ready own the console so you might as well get some patience, but fickle gamers are fickle. Even funnier though is the fact that PSN is now in its revival stages and being rolled out across the world right now. EDIT: For some reason Mad Dog's post didn't show up, ah well, late post is late.
Jon Posted May 15, 2011 Posted May 15, 2011 Even downloading the update of the Sony site isn't happening, keeps stopping at random points
bryanee Posted May 15, 2011 Posted May 15, 2011 Downloaded it just fine PSN still isnt up yet though even with the update downloaded and installed.
dwarf Posted May 15, 2011 Posted May 15, 2011 (edited) You really need to be assessing you priorities in life if a few weeks without online gaming is resulting in you actually trading in your console. Especially when almost all of the people doing it will crumble as soon as the PSN comes back online again and go out and buy a new PS3. Fair enough if the PSN was going to be off for a long time, not a few weeks. ... An update's available OMG!!!!!!!1111 MUST UPDATE!! EMOTION LEVELS AT FEVER PITCH IT'S NOT UPDATING FULLY, FUCK FUCK. JUST GONNA HAVE TO COUNT THE PERCENTAGE UPWARDS ONE BY ONE, CMON PS3, YOU CAN DO THIS I LOVE YOU PS3, JUST KNOW THAT I NEVER DOUBTED YOU! C'MOOOONNNNNN!!!!!! Fucking 'ell Micro Condom, look at yourself. Calm down, take a sip from your mug and relax, we're all friends here. We know who you are, and we don't need to hide ourselves from each other anymore. Maybe we'd be better of as Daz eh, hearts on sleeves who's with me? I'm joking, he's a cunt This is why I love the other consoles board. We're losers too, but we do it in style.

Pit-Jr Posted May 15, 2011 Posted May 15, 2011 I just did a test run on GTA IV, and the multi is back! I hope the Store isnt down for too much longer
flameboy Posted May 15, 2011 Posted May 15, 2011 Well I guess no one else wanted to play assassin's creed brotherhood multiplayer!
ReZourceman Posted May 15, 2011 Posted May 15, 2011 Dwarf and ReZ, the dream team. Reunited after so many months. Who will join them this week for epic Uncharted 2 n00b pwning? Time will tell.
Cookyman Posted May 15, 2011 Posted May 15, 2011 PSN is not up yet in Europe yet - can't be long now.

I hate you with every fibre of my being and if it wasn't for me agonising over every percent, i'd happily march down to what every sleepy English hamlet you whole yourself up in and shotgun you in the ear and nose.
MATtheHAT Posted May 15, 2011 Posted May 15, 2011 Looks like PSN is back up in the UK, I've just signed in.

MATtheHAT Posted May 15, 2011 Posted May 15, 2011 (edited) Lol at my facebook news feed. There must be 100 trophies that I have apparently just earned. Now, who's up for a nice game of Portal 2, Socom 4 or Mortal Kombat? Edited May 15, 2011 by MATtheHAT
Cube Posted May 15, 2011 Posted May 15, 2011 Now, who's up for a nice game of Portal 2, Socom 4 I have Portal 2 and SOCOM 4. Although some Uncharted 2 will also be good.
