PSN gets knocked down again

4.4
The PlayStation Network servers are currently out of commission for the second time in as many days. Sony posted a notice to its official Twitter account that its engineers are "aware of connectivity issues" and "are working to resolve" them.

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.

Alexyy Come on Sony invest in better servers,


Totally agree they need better servers.


Not about better servers, no matter how big they'll still get knocked down it would just take more effort from these skids.


You don't see XBL getting knocked down, do you?


XBL had their login servers offline for 20 minutes, at least Msft know how to quickly resolve it. 4 hours+ for PSN to get back is a joke.

Actually before you start a console war, both networks were experiencing problems for a short time.
