PSN gets knocked down again
PSN suffered an outage for the majority of Sunday thanks to an apparent DDoS attack (distributed denial of service). Sony noted that no personal information was accessed in the attack. Both PSN and Sony Entertainment Network were "impacted by an attempt to overwhelm our network with artificially high traffic," though it's unclear if that's also causing today's issues. We'll update this post when PSN is up and running again.
Update: Sony said that "network connectivity is being restored," and thanks players for their patience.

Fold I find it funny that they tried to DDOS Xbox Live but it barely did anything. This kind of proves Xbox's online superiority over PSN.
I Doubt they did that lizard kid just probs took credit for it

Well this sucks...I don't even have a PS4, I play on XBL but it sucks for PSN users that they can't play online AGAIN for the second time in days. I feel bad for you guys, Sony needs to get their act together!
