PSN is down

[BillyBones]

It's down for me. Anyone else?
They were supposed to do a maintenance tomorrow from 7PM to 2AM GMT. So what's happening there? Did they decide to do the maintenance now or are there technical difficulties? Anyone got some information about what's going on?

You appear not to be the only one:

I think it's down in error, happens occasionally.

Sony's been DDOS'd by these people.

Looking at their twitter account they have attacked league of legends, battlenet, GW2 and other MMOs in the last couple of days. Just a bunch of bored kids I guess.

Really annoying as the ps4 seems to do a check occasionally on digital downloads to renew the licence. So I was on FFXIV earlier, logged off for 20 minutes, now the game is locked as it can't check with psn that my account is licenced for it. Was hoping to get my smn to 50 today to bad the arch mage title. Oh well. Just rather frustrating.

So i'm not alone in this...right after PSN went down my content somehow ended up locked. I'll have to reassign this PS4 as my Primary and possibly renew my licenses tomorrow once everything is back up.

These people are such idiots, like Anonymous. They always claim to do these things to fight for the people, yet the only ones they hurt are the people. I remember when anon did this and then shortly realized they were just screwing the people they claim to be helping. Bunch of 40 year old virgins living in moms basement or 12 year olds that think they are saving the world.

Bored kids play with their trouser snake. These guys are just asswipes.

That's my point really. They claim to be fighting the big companies for the people but they are actually hurting the millions of users who enjoy these products. They really need to grow up and think about decent ways to protest. To be frank its a Sunday and they are probably just bored. Has nothing to do with fighting the power.
