Microsoft issues statement regarding PSN outage
“Of course it’s regretful that Sony is encountering issues at such a busy time, and Microsoft takes no joy in the problems gamers are having playing their favourite games online,” said the representative.
“That being said, we are expecting Microsoft’s robust online network to see an increase of traffic from those gamers who own both systems. Being able to play their games via the Xbox Live network could make all the difference for some gamers, and the Xbox Nations event will allow all of them to do just that – whether they have a Gold subscription or not.”
When asked if Microsoft would see an increase in sales of the Xbox 360 console or game titles, such as the recently released Portal 2 or Operation Flashpoint: Red River, due to the issues faced by PSN users, the representative refused to offer comment.
Microsoft’s launched its Xbox Nations online event yesterday, which brings along a free Xbox Live weekend, and has various games, music and movies and avatar items on discount.
The Playstation Network has been down for more than 48 hours now, with Sony recently issuing a statement, which confirmed it has taken it offline due to an “external intrusion”.

Yeah, how "typical". When EVERYONE knows that if Xbox LIVE went down for 5 minutes, Sony would be like "DURHURR YOU PAY FO SOMFIN DAT DONT EVEN WORK".
But that will never happen for us because Microsoft knows that we pay for a service well worth the $60 a year, which in no fashion is expensive. But when your little PSN goes down, all you hear from PS3 fan-boys is "Well, it's free so I don't expect it to be perfect".
This just shows that the "PSN is better than LIVE because it's free" argument is shit. "Typical Microsoft" doesn't even exist. This statement could have been a complete shit-fest to show how worthless PS3's are, but he didn't say anything like that. Unlike that rep. who said that LIVE was "losing steam".
Yeah, we're "losing steam" all right. At least our online works (;
You mad bro?
He's not mad, hes stating the obvious.
Xbox is more mature they don't bring attacks on ps3 if this would have happened to xbox ps3 would have brung attacks.

LOL How many times has PS3 gone done for segments of over 1 day now? Probably over 10 times. The only time XBL was down was for 1 day about 2 years ago, and it was for maintenance. To add to it, PS3's security system is shit compared to the 360's.

This is why I own an Xbox and not a PS3.
XBL is miles ahead of PSN,I'd rather pay for quality online even with my poor connection lol
And for anyone blaming Anonymous have issued a statement saying they were not involved with any PSN attacks.
"The latest reports claim that the IRC channel of the group (Anonymous) states the following - "[#OpSony is over, if you are here to baww about PSN, it wasn't us.]". So perhaps it really is all over."
