Anyone here own a PS3? If so, you're probably aware that the Playstation Network has been down since wednesday as a result of the recent intrusion by hackers, which forced Sony to shut it down to fix the problem and try to prevent future attacks to the network. If I read right, there's like over 700 million people affected by the network being down.

I first became aware of it friday afternoon when I was trying to play some COD Black Ops, and got the "network undergoing maintance" message when I tried to log in to the network. I got on my PC and looked it up and found out about what's going on. Sony isn't giving any definite answers to when it will be back up, and rumor has it they're reconfiguring the whole network to make it safe.

I looked on a handful of gaming forums and stuff, there are alot of ticked off people. I'm not too happy with it being down, but I can live without online gaming, lol. The network is free to play online unlike XBOX 360, so even though it may suck, I cannot complian too much.
