Is psn down?

[Kosmos992k]

But I'm really surprised people pay for PSN, or why they thought to make it a paid service anyway. The least they could have done is make it on par with XBL.

::looks up console war default response for XBL comparisons::
But, why would they want to downgrade it?

Seriously, I didn't reply to start anything, so can we let it die please?

The PSN is having issues? Again? Maybe that explains why I'm suddenly having massive lag issues in the game. (PS4 player here)

And I see that the mere mention of this topic is already bringing in the PC VS Console wars. Never fails. :P

PSN having issues shouldn't be causing any lag as far as I'm aware, probably your connection.

Except to do anything on XBL, you need(ed?) a subscription. You can play online without paying anything on PSN, but that isn't the case with XBL (unless they changed it since XB360)...

They both require a subscription now, Steam still manages to make it free and with very little downtime.

FFXIV doesn't use PSN for anything except authentication of the license when you start the game. PSN could go down right after you login to FFXIV, and as long as you never logout, you should experience no issues.

so make it so if you dont have an net connection, your arcade type game revert to demo versions, or are flat out unplayable? jumping to something else tho, the main difference people have between the two is what games force you to have the paid service for online things.
