look i just found out about this stuff and im a big fan of ps3 but could yall give me th details on how to get those 2 free ps3 and psp games and how to get my new password and info.(just type me on gmail

Am I still eligible for the free games if I have only just made my account (yesterday) ?

Jheez, you sad acts need to get a life. Look out of the window(if you have one), notice that? It's called sunlight. Rare sight for most of you. "Oh no, PSN is down, whatever am I going to do!" Go outside, play some sport, go socialise for once.

Can't believe any of you have a right to slate Sony when they are obviously more important than you ever will be. Get out more, saddos.

Bought my PS3 on release date... never had ANY issues with it mechanically WHATsoever. Bought an Xbox 360 2 years ago.. the power pack went on it.. rang up Microsoft, cheaper to buy a new one they said. Bought a new one.. disc drive broke. If Sony's online functionabilty getting hacked is the worst thing I have to worry about.. I'd take PS3 over XBOX any day of the week.

I disagree with the whole shortlist of choosing PSP games. It should be all the games, bar the new ones. It's not fair making a shortlist of games, because they could be games you already own or the lower priced games that don't get many sales. All games other than new ones should be available for choosing.

how can i get these free ps3 games

I have purchased PS3 2-3 months back but i am finding difficult in playing.Can i Have some guide for usage to operate offline as well as online mode to puechase games and also pls let me know the trusted websites names to purchase games were nobody can still data.

well that seems good to me, to be fair this could of happened to any company and i agree with 'me' on that one. oh and this whole xbox vs ps3 thing, if you seriously are getting so much withdrawal from playing online you then need to go buy an xbox i have some advice.....maybe spent this time the psn is down to go and explore the thing outside your door called the real world and get a life.

The one thing is Sony is actually doing something. When this happens to most online companies they destroy the evidence of the breech, tell no one and claim it never happened.

Just check out the hacker sites. Personal information is being stolen everyday, but most companies don't want the bad press so they don't do anything and let you fend for yourself.

Wow, I think that this is some great news. Whilst I have missed my online gaming, especially my AC brotherhood but you know what, its not the end of the world. I'm also sick of the whole xbox vs PS3 system coming back into play, the whole argument is boring, get over it already. I am happy enough to wait for everything to be fixed and then I will enjoy my online experience more when I can get back online, but in the meantime, I have a life outside of my playstation. My only comment is, I hope that Sony takes as much time as they need to make sure everything runs smoothly when its all systems go again, I'm not going to let some little upstarts who wanted to hack the network stop me from enjoying a system which up until now (for myself as I don't know how others have been) has given me no problems!
