    Apparently, this is a global thing. No word on how long it’s gonna take to fix it according to the latest news I saw.

    Yep and that sucks even more when you want to play a game without an offline mode like GT7 or Test Drive.

    Can't you play offline like on PC? The worst would be no connection to DTL, but you can play the game anyways.

    This seems to be a massive DDoS attack (again) on PSN.

    Surprisingly I’m connected to DTL but it takes much longer than usual for the game to load.

    Does this explain the reason as to why the bar on the TSW4 loading screen is stuck at about 5% for me?

    Edit: It would appear so. Time to play offline for now. I don't get why PSN needs to impact the loading of the game.

    I Love this post just says it all ..Honestly i think this digital gaming stuff nowadays where they getting rid of physical media like tapes dvds etc ,they force the internet downloads and updating or have to have online connection to play some games...maybe thats why there is more and more half arsed content and games out there today cause they jusk hack some of this stuff out thenthey say we may or may not fix or update the content ..

    It was down for about 7 hours. But for those of us in Europe we were asleep for most of it.

    If you check the Reddit PSN channel, you’d think the world was about to end judging by some reactions!

    I’ve seen a lot of people panicking on the internet like it was the end of the world, it was worse in 2011 with the PSN down for nearly a month.
