Re: NEWS: Playstation Network taken offline due to external intrusion. (PSN is back up)

by **LordRemington** Sat May 07, 2011 12:35 am

This whole ps3 thing has made me a tad apprehnesive about this maybe happening to xbox live. Problem is I have my gold live membership set to automatic update, so my credit card details are on there. I think for safeties sake I'll probably just go back to paying with a redeem card for gold membership.

Unimpressive selection. Too bad...

Bro, WIPEOUT HD FURY IS AMAZING.

Everyone needs to get that as one of their options Help

by **Vektrix** Tue May 17, 2011 8:21 pm

I'm not interested in any of the games, except Wipeout, and I already have that Sad

Anyway, I intend to take them up on the offer, so how do i get them?

The program will be available once the PS Store comes back up, which is some unspecified time this month.

I was just teasing, Vektrix. Smile

I'll probably get it to have some game to play with him. Razz

by **world_piece** Fri May 20, 2011 9:42 am

I am not interested in Wipeout. I've played most since the very first came out waaaay back when. Not really my thing. I'm sure it's a fine game but racing games don't hold my interest for very long.

Just waiting for the damn Store to open up so I can get Plants vs. Zombies and Chime. Puzzles and RPGs = best bang for buck DLs.

by **Red-Indigo** Fri May 20, 2011 8:06 pm

@LoD: Ahh, ok Smile

Yeah, I played Wipeout from the first one. I was addicted to it back then, I like that game, but other racing games never hold my interest for long either, exception being motor storm. RPG's and Puzzles are usually good value though, because they take so long to complete!

I heard somewhere that even though they are getting the PSN back up, they think their Password page has been compromised again. Not sure how true that is, but could count for the delay maybe?

by **Kevin92** Sun May 22, 2011 12:59 am

Rumors say it will be up May 24th. Smile

I do not know if that applies to the whole world or just United States....
