I could sign in on my Xbox. I guess it's nothing.

Latest bad news is it looks like Sony won't have gotten it's shit together until the end of May at the earliest. They better trot out more than a month's PS+ and a free game of your choice :angry:

2 free games apparently. But still, that's ridiculous. Pisses me off actually, because I just bought portal 2 and was looking forward to playing co-op online.

I know, it sucks. The free month of PS+ won't even make up for the amount of down time. If it's really gonna be down until the end of May, they need to step it up.

PSN GOES DOWN FOR 2 MONTHS

SCUMBAG SONY

Aww, I miss going round the psn thing and looking up the skirts of avatarts that are men pretending to be women.

I'd reserve praise/judgement until they unveil the list of games... most likely PSN digital downloads, and probably not their top sellers.

LOL - Imagine if the free games they gave out were PS+ games, and then when your free month of PS+ expired, the games you got for free went with it

Sony's gonna really have to do some major damage control to regain their reputation in regards to online gaming and purchases...

I know - the only trophies we have left for Portal 2 are the online co-op ones...

i trust corporations as much as i can throw them. and i'm a thin weakling pathetic excuse for a 'man'

so in otherwords, i don't trust corporations.

I was gonna play that mini Gran Tursimo release that came out a few years ago (can't remember the name, 'Prologue' possibly) yesterday but found out that you had to be connected to PSN just to boot the damn game. What on earth ?!

Some games have been found to require PSN in order to play, but up to now, only the digital downloads - are you talking about the disc-based version (I have that one) vs. the digital download?

Yeah I downloaded it, it's the only downloadable game I've got that seems to refuse loading though ...
