It's Friday Night, So PSN Is Down

and on the day the Dragon Ball XenoVerse 2 Open Beta started too

EDIT well according to this site it's all OK now

https://status.playstation.com/en-gb/

At this point are we even surprised by this anymore? These days if a beta goes live or a big game is released, it's a pretty safe assumption that PSN is going to be having problems. Seriously, this has been an issue since PS4 released, when will they fix it?

yeah it's fixed now according to the official support twitter page

Well, not totally down, but there are still a lot of minor issues reported. I'm pretty much logged in all the time so rarely affected, but if the history for PSN recorded on Down Detector is anything to go by, Sony still need to make some improvements.

@fairliedaft i had just as many problems with XBL and Nintendo Network

they just don't tell us when there is an issue

I don't use those services so I wouldn't know. Admittedly I am in a bad mood, saw this pop up on my FB newsfeed and responded. On a slightly related note, I recently found out that being on hold for almost 2 and a half hours makes me somewhat more likely to voice poorly researched opinions on the internet.

@fairliedaft 2 and a Half Hours, that's insane

i would have slammed the phone down way before then

@FullbringIchigo The only thing driving me forwards is the knowledge that if I hang up, I'll have to do it all over again.

I've been having regular problems since Sony raised the Plus princes, I'm not joking.

I thought it might be hackers or something, but no, Sony's infrastructure just blows.

Maybe it's regional, either that or they're updating the store everytime I'm trying to get in...

I was trying to check the Flash Sale two hours ago and of course I couldn't, just like the other day when I wanted to see what was on sale this Tuesday and couldn't get in either.

I guess I should thank Sony for saving me money, but now they're charging me more so...

no issues for me. well apart from the fact that the infinite warfare beta still doesn't seem to be available. connecting to IW's online service returns the error that the beta is only available from Oct 14 10:00 PDT. it's currently 11:30 PDT (19:30 BST). umm...

No problem here, downloading IW beta as well lol, got a code unexpectedly from a friend. And tbh I won't complain to much if it does, I can't remember the last time PSN went down but it sounds like others have had trouble.

@leucocyte that suck's mine's dl'ing now i'm in the UK? Hope it gets sorted soon man.

Flash sale going on in the US too. Some decent games, little bit of everything.

"online games, applications, and social aspects"

If those are all down what else is there left?? lol

The only internet service that literally never goes down is Google. Everything else has its problems now and then.

I'm having a problem.When I was going to activate my PS4 as a primary PS4 on my HazreenXBL account they said I've already activated on another PS4 while I only got one PS4.Can I know why this is happening??
