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.

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."

Can I see some proof about this? Did Sony state this? Did Microsoft state this? No. Quit it with your Xbox fanboy shit. Overall PC is better tbh.

Why even try to start a console war, at the end of the day they are both good consoles.


Sorry to say I'd rather put my trust in Microsoft than Sony.


They are both consoles with upsides and downsides, who a consumer likes more these days is completely subjective. C'mon, as long as we can play games and have fun does it really matter what console we use or what brand we a loyal to.

On topic, it kind of sucks to see that these services have been down for such a long time, i'm sure christmas would of been a bit less fun for a fair few people

Don't start a stupid console war, who cares about what's better at the end of the day just enjoy playing the video games :) there both amazing consoles.


I agree, but I still can't believe sony can't get their shit together to fix it.


I've been playing on AW multiplayer on my PS4 all day today so I think it might just be for certain parts. Tbf, it usually happens that on Christmas day there are a lot of outages because of the high volume of people trying to get online all at once, I think it was kinda expected.. wouldn't surprise me if there wasn't even any DDOS attacks

I was playing online all today, the PS app was working for me all day, too. That's in the UK though, might be different for different areas I'm not sure
