PSN is down (Update: Back up)

The outage has actually gotten me to start playing Forspoken. I have to say, you were right. The game is really fun, and the music is beautiful. Not sure why the game got so much hate.

Got me to finally grab the Christmas stuff in Stellar Blade. I grabbed Forspoken for dirt cheap. I’ll give it a go at some point. I’ve been hearing good things from people that played the actual start of the game and not that demo.

I haven't read the whole thread but has anyone mentioned how this could be retaliation for the Bloodborne DMCA?

How real is this?

100% real, other sources have confirmed this too.

You need to be connected for the first time to authenticate the external drive to a PS5.

If that person bought a PS5 Pro and a disc drive during the downtime, he wouldn't be able to use it until it reconnected to the internet.

Ooffff, one more reason to "love" the Pro.
 
it's semi real.
You pair disc to your consolole ONLY ONCE.
So it would only be a problem if he unboxed the drive today and tried to pair it with a console TODAY when PSN was down.
Not quite. It does mean you cannot enjoy your physical library on the Pro unless you have Internet. I had to live last week without home Internet, due to a failure of my Internet provider and also yesterday/today PSN down, so basically havent been able to play GT7 during 8 days due lack of conection...Despite i only play offline modes, so....

That's not true. The disc is a one time activation. You can play games on disc without internet after activation unless the game itself requires internet.

No it doesn't need internet. Once you activated, you NEVER need internet anymore.

exactly.

Yes, but if it comes a situation of PSN down or what just happened to me, which can be very common (issues with Internet conection) and turns out that the issue was just at the time when someone decided to spent +$800 on a Pro + Drive, and all that for NOT having to be able to play because a mandatory Internet conection, even if its one time, can be very annoying.

Disc drive authentication is only needed for the first time. Not every time.

PSN went down for less than 24 hours for the first time in years. But, imagine, IF you bought a specific version and the external disc drive during that exact window? In that, rare, very specific scenario, you would have to wait a few hours before everything would be up running.

I'd just boycott Sony forever, over just the trauma that potential scenario has caused.

Again.....this ain't a Pro thing. Either way, that's a case of bad timing. Let's not make such a rare situation out to be bigger than it is.

An external disc drive needing to be online synced with a specific console in order to work. Nuts.

At some point, gamepads will be too.

I cry about Xbox and hate PlayStation.
Back up in Ohio.

I will never forgive Sony for this. They forced me to play kingdom come 2 for almost 2 hours in which i lost all the progress because pc focused developers don’t believe in saving your progress. Thank god for console gaming.
i thought theres auto save in KCD2? except in hardcore mode?

They had spanned the globe to learn the language. Thus Spanish. Global span.


Just like English they had engaged the natives. Thus English for engagement language.
The language and the whole culture is from europe world wide.

They killed all the natives or raped everyone else.
The spanish got mixed with the natives but most natives died due to european diseases and so you have spanish and indigineous people mixed.

Nothing that is now latin america is from there. Its all from europe.
What language do they speak in brazil? Portugese. Not brazilian right?

This is the same with the christian religion. Its from europe from white people.
Who then raped and killed everyone in their way and forced the religion on all the natives world wide. From america to africa.

I keep laughing at this. If you just take the philipinos for example. They are sooooo fucking religious but their religion is a white man religion. Europeans went there killed and raped them all and forced chriatianity on them. And now they worship the shit out of it while curse the white man lol.

the ignorance here is next level. Just like Portugal is derived from the ports of gal. The Roman name for the region. Portuguese is for the ports of guesses the Roman name for the region. Trades routes were established there by the Macedonian fleets led by Alexander’s son Nebuchadnezzar of Babylon.

You saying portugal , roman empire, macedonia etc is not european?

Where are you from?

I really dont get the ignorance comment.
Everything you listed is in europe.

Lets stick to facts.

BEfore white man showed up in america there were native tribes who didnt have the culture, language , religion, clothing , infrastructure etc that is now on the american continent.

It all comes from europe. And thats the end of it.

Unless you are a native indigeonus person, you speak dress sing dance read an europen culture. Your religion in south america is a white religion.

I mean what are you arguing here? History is history.
