is the PSN network down?

[The_Niddler]

Link to KZ scoreboard and Socom scoreboard in thread, shows some activity on the PSN. Theory is they are letting a few "beta" guys test out the system. Shocking Part Hoos and Big Mike not invited to the Beta.

They could be playing and have been sworn to secrecy!

I am as cool as the other side of the pillow. Havent touched a controller the whole time, I aint the one dusting off the ol shitbox and getting my fix poopsie. Bet your ass has been labbing everyday getting ready for 12.

[sixpackdan101]

Played one of the new maps on 360. Pretty...pretty good.

[ajalves]

3 damn weeks and they still havent fixed this shit?

[kdog36]

I am okay with it. As long as it is ready to go by July 1. Much needed break for me and the boy. more time together outside and all that family stuff.
no prob here.

Use this time wisely guys/girl.

[ajalves]

nah, no thanks.

I did all that shit before the network was down. I will still do it when it comes back up. I didnt need the PS network to go down to be a good dad/husband.

I'd just assume have what i paid for, working again

it's really amazing. 3 weeks of working around the clock and nothing except the same regurgitated crap every couple of days out of the PR dept.

They did a two-hour "beta test run" today in Europe; things went smoothly.

So we might be close to having some functionality soon.

That seems like great news. I would imagine it is up by Monday or Tuesday at the latest at this point. Then again, what do I know (seems like as much as them).

Any gamestop members willing to shoot a brother that coupon? Ill make the plunge for $100 off

Apparently not EVERYONE gets it if what I'm reading is true. I'm a member. If I get one i'll let you know and you can have it

You, sir, are a good man.

[shel311]

If anyone else gets one that they're not using, please let me know as I'm in the market for a new PS3.

I am a PowerUp Rewards member, and I contacted them just now with the online chat thing and asked how can I get my coupon, and the response was:

Unfortunately the $100 Sony PS3 coupon was only sent to a target group of customers who met the following criteria:
? Indicated not owning a PS3 in their ?Gamer Preferences? on their online Power Up Rewards account
? Did not have any transactions or purchases of PS3 consoles, accessories or games in any GameStop store or GameStop.com
? Did not indicate a PS3 item in the Game Library under ?I Want, I Have, or I Had?

Please note that meeting the criteria did not guarantee a coupon.

We cannot resend this coupon but we do encourage you to be sure you have accurately answered all the questions on your ?Gamer Preferences? as we do base our Marketing targets on this information

Granted, I don't think I ever filled out that questionnaire or whatever when I signed up, but the chat person said I wouldn't get one lol.

So basically never buy a PS3 game there and don't tell them that you have any gaming console and you'll get great deals.

I didn't get one either. Just a $25 coupon off the PS3 Move bundle

I mean, what percentage of people signed up for the PowerUp Rewards don't have a PS3 or don't own a gaming console?

[TEEwade]

Yeah I did not get the coupon only a $25 off playstation move.

I have way too much down time right now and no ps3. Whenever I get busy I am sure the network will be up and running with all kinds of new features.

The redundancy? A la ATM Machine or PIN Number?

From last Friday's Rock Band official announcement thread:

[quote]here's the first look at the specific Foo Fighters tracks coming out next week, some of the most requested songs we've seen on the forums as of late! Enjoy!

Available on Xbox 360 and Wii (May 10) and PlayStation®3 system (May 19):[/quote

not sure if that means anything, be interesting to see what tomorrow's thread's release date is. Also, on the "why is Sony not telling us shit?" front. I am taking International Marketing this month and my teacher has a hard on for Japan. We have been talking/watching videos about the way they do things all week...for two and a half hours a day. Apparently, in their culture, they do not give dates for completion of jobs. Their motto on that is "a job well done, when its done". They don't give dates, and they don't want dates, they just want you to do the job. Just thought I'd share that little bit of info I learned this week.
