    Maybe I just don't NEED to go on PSN as part of my life. I enjoy it, just don't neeeeeed it. That would be where the fun would stop for me.

    I'm pretty sure if your money was in the bank and you couldn't get it, that could cause some actual issues worth worrying about.

    I dont even known why I'm having this conversation, I hope you get sorted soon bro!
    Don't need to,I want to,I've been working a late shift all week and the bodyclock is all over the place,I was wide awake all night nothing on telly,bored.
    My situation is obviously different from yours so stop making bull**** assumptions.

    Out of their pockets. Sony were making a massive loss on every PS3 sold when it came out, and have been making a loss until last year. (Not sure if they profit now or not). The cost of assembling a PS3 was much greater then the selling price, so Sony were not charging extra for the PSN, they were already selling at a great loss.

    The link on the previous page.. They also said it would only be 48 hrs at first. I doubt theyd say its going to be back up on Monday if they didnt think theres a good chance it will be.

    But they were still funding it from the sales of PS3's. It's irrelevant whether that was at a loss or not. They obviously did it with the expectation of making a profit in the future.

    There is no way they haven't factored the cost of PSN into the price of their consoles etc.

    I was mad when i first heard the PSN would be down for a few day's, but then i managed to get 2 platinums on some single player games so im happy, dont mind if it takes a few days to get sorted.

    Weather is lovely outside and it will make the COD session when the psn goes back online extra sweet! lets just hope that whens it fixed, its fixed properly and we will have a better online experience!

    thats a ridiculous comparison tbh, you dont need psn access to live.

    everyone just calm down.

    than go buy Portal 2 and play that :D

    How funny it is to see people actually having arguments on here about the situation.

    Grow up
    Cop on
    And
    Shut the hell up!

    10 things to do while PSN is down.

    1. Enjoy time with your family
    2. Read a book
    3. Write a book
    4. Go outside
    5. Go to the pub (obvious one)
    6. Make love to your wife/girlfriend (priorities?this probably shouldn't be #6)
    7. Look at the stars
    8. Play a sport
    9. Paint the house
    10. Watch Porn
