PSN down after suffering DDOS attack
Upon trying to login to PSN, users are greeted with error code "NW-31456-9," which reads "Cannot connect to the server within the time limit."
I got the error code: "NW-31201-7," which simply reads "Cannot connect to the server."
Apparently, it is the result of a DDOS attack by a hacking group known as Lizard Squad. The group admitted to the attack, but didn't really give a reason other than the usual "Sony is a greedy corporation" excuse.
The official Sony PlayStation hasn't confirmed if this is the case, but Sony Online Entertainment president John Smedley acknowledged the "large scale DDOS," adding that "it's almost under control now."

Whey "Sony is a greedy corporation"? Seems like that considering the amount if money they have and they aren't taking precautions to stop this happening. This has happened before when PSN was down for a while, now playstation gamers will have to suffer once more. Glad I'm on the 360 with Microsoft as the problems with them are little to none.
Agreed.
PSN is just crap overall.
Hehehehe PS->Xbox->PC
Id never buy PS, no good exclusives.
