Wow I am glad to read this thread, on Wednesday night I was assuming it was maintenance, last night (Thursday) I was starting to get a little bit worried and on today I've been like "man, I hope Portal 2 didn't f#@k my PS3's internet!".

Yeah, I wouldn't be surprised if GLaDOS was behind it all! :laugh:

You can still use Netflix. Launch Netflix, it will ask you to sign in. Press X and attempt to sign in. An error message will pop up, press O and Netflix should load up.

Actually, last night, that wasn't even working. It would just keep trying to log into either the PSN account, or Netflix would say, Checking for Update, then stall out about 3 minutes later. I hope I at least get my netflix up tonight lol.

The PSN for me has been dodgy since last weekend - It took about 3 or 4 retries before I could eventually log onto the PSN.

I just hope it all gets sorted once the PSN comes back online.

Yeah, same for me.

Most of last weekend from the 15th onward I had frequent login/logout issues. Since Wednesday i've not been able to log in at all :(

Luckily, I don't do much online gaming, but I sure need to do a trophy sync soon!

I never have a problem logging into PSN, but I do get disconnected all the time... but the odd thing is, it seems more like a sleep function disconnect. I am never disconnected while in Netflix, playing a game, or browsing the store. I am only ever disconnected when I am in a single player game, or doing absolutely nothing online. Very odd...... lol

New update from Sony:

An external intrusion on our system has affected our PlayStation Network and Qriocity services. In order to conduct a thorough investigation and to verify the smooth and secure operation of our network services going forward, we turned off PlayStation Network & Qriocity services on the evening of Wednesday, April 20th. Providing quality entertainment services to our customers and partners is our utmost priority. We are doing all we can to resolve this situation quickly, and we once again thank you for your patience. We will continue to update you promptly as we have additional information to share.

    • Hello, I have used a few TEAM Group SSDs, USB flash drives, and Micro SDXC cards in the past. They all seemed to work fine. Regards, Aryeh Goretsky
    • "just $100 per TB"? Just? Are we trying to make this seem like the new normal? Kinda weird to make it sound like that is not a ridiculously expensive asking price.
    • The reviews you refer to mean nothing. Where there is no journalism there is no reason to call the gaming media's opinion pieces "reviews". For GP games there is indeed a metric for success - increasing subscriptions. Which turns in revenue. The only circumstance in which subs do not rise when great is being released is a Game Pass system where the company is close to fully saturated with customers in a subscription. However, in that case as the theory goes you spend aplenty in all kind of games - from shady live service cash cows and customer offending agitprop crap in purple colours to robust and entertaining single player games. And keep a solid level of profitability. Ignoring the simply innocuous but mid games MGS has released primarily of the second kind.
    • Report: Microsoft to use AWS to help GitHub deal with a major surge in demand by Pradeep Viswanathan Thanks to the surge of coding AI agents, GitHub's usage has skyrocketed over the past 12 months. To meet this demand, GitHub started with a plan in October 2025 to increase capacity by 10x. However, by early this year, the company realized that it needed 30x scale. This rapid growth has caused severe strain on the platform's reliability, resulting in several small outages over the past few months. In April, GitHub published a long blog post explaining the steps it is taking to resolve these reliability issues. In the post, the company also confirmed that it is working toward a multi-cloud architecture for better resilience. Today, Business Insider reported that GitHub is turning to Amazon Web Services to help deal with a major surge in AI-driven coding activity. It is important to note that GitHub is still in the process of moving completely to the Azure cloud. The current plan is to move the platform fully to Azure by 2027 so that it can scale better as per developer demand. Therefore, the current decision to utilize AWS might be part of a short-term plan to meet immediate demand. A Microsoft spokesperson confirmed that GitHub is using multiple cloud providers with the following statement: For Microsoft, the decision highlights the operational pressure behind the AI boom. GitHub has to stay reliable for developers at a time when rivals such as Codex, Cursor, Claude Code, and other AI coding tools are gaining attention. And the decision to use AWS for computing capacity seems practical given the circumstances.
    • It's growing on me, however, your right, it make better usability sense if the tabs were bellow the address bar.
