limited Xbox Live service, PlayStation Network still down

4.7
Microsoft has restored a limited service to Xbox Live users after the online gaming platform was allegedly taken down by hackers.

A group named Lizard Squad has claimed responsibility for the disruption, which is still affecting Sony's Playstation Networks.

The outages come just over a week after threats by hackers forced Sony to cancel public screenings of a satirical film.

Both companies expected heavy use as people who received Microsoft Xboxes or Sony PlayStations on Christmas Day tried to hook up.

I kept getting notifications about some services on XBL weren't available but really didn't have any connection issues. Mostly the apps had the problems.

I don't know if it's just me or what, but I've still been having some problems with LIVE. I hope it's that rather than my internet. Though it seems like it's LIVE since I don't have problems on my laptop or phone.

loganj23 some of the people on here are **** retarded did u read the lizard squad interwiew?? obviously not because they said microsoft was much easier and that psn has upgraded their security alot.idk why everything turns into a goddamn console war. lizard squad quote in interview "Microsoft and Sony are **** retarded, literally monkeys behind computers," one of the members of Lizard Squad explained to The Daily Dot. "They would have better luck if they actually hired someone who knew what they were doing. Like, if they went around prisons and hired people who were convicted for stuff like this they would have a better chance at preventing attacks."


Look at their twitters, they say Sony is easier to hit lol

Anyone can claim their from lizard squad all you have to do is post a video with a random picture and there you go ! A member of lizard squad. I just don't believe anything I see on the Internet
