Has anyone tried to sign in to their SEN account today? Have tried to do so on the PS3 and via computer and both places are showing as being down currently. Anyone else experiencing problems?

Yeah. Apparently it is LizardSquad, again.

Sigh.

Still down. Getting frustrated at not being able to try remote play on my Z3 as it needs to be set up with the PSN network first to be able to register. Ahh well, back into the real world and now I have time to bottle my home brew :-)

TV1 News said that Kim Dotcom persuaded whoever is behind it to stop for a while by offering free use of his Mega Cloud (or whatever it is called). I was wondering what North Korea would want to use a Mega Cloud for, but decided it was just a BS publicity stunt by Kim Dotcom.

Frustrating all right. It's the first time all year I had the chance to play for a extended period of time.

Maybe I will step outside and see what that bright thing in the sky is about

Heading into the third day of outage. Bloody useless. The DDOS stopped two days ago.

I've been using it off and on today with no issues. I've been using the PS Vita though and the PSN website through a PC so not sure if that's any different?

Came back online at around 3pm however goes off for moments at a time - just keep your PS4 online and it'll stay online.
