It seems pretty likely that it's just all the new consoles being turned on today... you would think they would've been prepared for that... I wonder if they sold a lot more than they expected to. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- From: Af [af-boun...@afmug.com] on behalf of Shaun Hoggan via Af [af@afmug.com] Sent: Thursday, December 25, 2014 1:38 PM To: af@afmug.com Subject: Re: [AFMUG] Playstation, Xbox Live networks reported down? I have been working on this all morning! The Sony status page reported the system was operational however, it has been a no go since around 6:30 MST this morning. My take is that the denial of service is simply so many new customers logging on at the same time Christmas morning that the servers could not take the load. This is simply a case of poor planning on the part of Sony and costly for the rest of us working the problem Christmas morning.
