PSN Experiencing Issues Due to External Factors

Is it possible those problems to prevent me fro musing a redeem code?I won a digital game and it says that code is incorrect or used already, tlaked with the deviantsthat gave me the code and dont know whats wrong, btw its a EU code for sure.

Wonder if that's why Netflix was so choppy last night, for me.

Maybe it's because we're paying for it so I tend to be more demanding, or maybe games are getting bigger and more complex to handle, but it feels like Sony's online services are getting worse since the introduction of the PS4.

Sure, PS4 is a big hit and Sony is leaning more and more towards a digital future which will cause more strain, but for a simple guy like me it just feels like they should make more effort to sort these problems out. Most people I know here have a Internet connection with speeds of 120 mb/s down, it's the package deal with TV and phone most people get, so that should be sufficient to download a game or two in a evening's time. Unfortunately however, download speeds of games and necessary patches are getting increasingly slower it seems and outages occur more often than I'd like. Guys like myself don't understand all that PR bull and how these things work. I don't wanna hear about the problems Sony has with getting their act together, I want to hear and see solutions!

So please Sony, actually invest the money you promised to invest in your network, cause of this continues like this it will cost you valuable customers and money one day. You guys, along with devs and publishers, have forced this always online gaming upon us with your DRM in disguise called the day one patch. You want us to buy digital so you can cut out the middle man and prevent us from selling our games. Then make sure you have the servers to back it up! Make sure my $50 a year is well spend and make sure I'll be gaming this coming fall and around the holidays; I don't want to spend my spare time waiting for downloads or servers to get back up again.

And I'm not complaining because I don't like Sony, I'm complaining because I love the company so much. They have struck gold with this PS4, don't spend it all on keeping the other divisions alive and VR technology, invest in where the real money is to be made! Gaming as a service is coming closer and closer, you need the proper technology for that Sony.

PSN's still down for me.

Pathetic, and just as you had an article about demanding better online, like I said earlier, don't hold your breath

@Boerewors Download speeds are definitely not getting slower. I only have around 15mb download speed and recently I've seen a significant increase in the download speed of files from PSN. I was able to download The Witcher 3 which was 32gb in around 5hrs and I just did the day one patch for Batman Arkum Knight which was 3gb in the evening which is a high traffic time and that took around half hour. Last year downloading those files would have taken me around twice those times.

In all fairness PSN has got alot better since Lizard Squads attack last Christmas. Even before they attacked PSN it was down every other week. I can honestly say I am alot happier with the service these days.

What? No "All it does is offline" photo? I kind of miss the days where an article with that photo would come up seemingly every other day, then I'd laugh and shake my head at Sony's incompetence.
