PSN down thread

Sounds like maybe you need a different e-mail client? Seriously, I'm not trying to be a smartass. Of course I guess it wouldn't help in this situation.
 
Soon as I can get back to my PSN account I plan to switch my PSN account to G-Mail. I still need hotmail to get in though, just annoyed the hotmail staff are answering other posts on other subjects but clear as day ingnoring the PSN threads :rolleyes:.

I just feel pissed, I got a PS3 before I was annoyed with Microsoft wanting me to pay a huge amount of money to fix my 360 disc tray which is not powering up sometimes on power up...this is the console they gave me after my last one got RROD.

I can't get away from Microsoft even when I get a PS3 :scream:

So I might as well enjoy myself and try to stir up any trouble I can for Microsoft since they seem intent on fucking me over.
 
It seems though who have never brought off PSNStore or their account is new-ish so basically Sony cannot confirm the account to your console. Its one of the security features they added so we need go via email.

Ah... I've never bought anything off the network and checking once I had access, I've never registered a credit-card so I guess they don't give a stuff about me.

Did you download demos or free DLC?!?
Or visited Home?!?
That might be why you could change it through the XMB...

Yes to all, I just turned it on when I heard it was back-up, it prompted me to change my password and it was all done. I've just tried logging in and out and it's worked fine.

You would think we could ring up and just answer our security question :rolleyes: and get it done via phone BUT nooooooo.

:rolleyes:

With everybody's log-in details and full info taking a walk in the recent hack its no wonder they are not doing this over the phone.

But its funny in a way that people waiting to get back onto the free PSN Sony service have to wait for the free MS email service......probably the closest we will get to MS and Sony working together. :lol:
 
A big letter I posted earlier, think I quoted it on here in a earlier post it seems people on hotmail forums are copy n pasting it to create multiply threads on the hotmail forums.

Also had messages from people who told me they have e-mailed Gamespot, IGN among others about the story to see if we can get traction in the gaming press. A LONG shot but hey we got free time on our hands with no PSN ;)

:lol: Viva la Resistance ey

you think M/S would of just had an admin give us a short post on hotmail forums at least :rolleyes:

The thread has got over 130 replies in the hotmail forum with no reply while admins reply to all the other threads :rolleyes: but some good news.

The Escapist has picked up our story

Microsoft vs. PSN users :lol: other sites should pick it up I hope.

Our thread was involved...

I got my email to my hotmail address within a couple of hours.
 
Well what a surprise right after we get a site like The Escapist to report the story we get a response from Hotmail, I guess the last several hours and 150 posts were accidently unseen by all the mods posting around it...

Hello Hotmail customers who are having issues receiving Sony’s password reset mails,

Thank you for reporting this issue so that we could investigate the situation. When Sony re-launched their online service and then Playstation users initiated password resets, Hotmail saw a dramatic, unexpected increase in mails sent from Sony. Unfortunately, these kinds of huge changes in volume are also one characteristic of an email server that has been compromised by spammers. Consequently, Hotmail temporarily refused delivery of emails from Sony’s password reset servers as a defensive response to a potential spam attack.

We have been in discussions with Sony to identify the affected servers and are delighted to report that this issue should now be resolved. It may take a couple of hours for you to receive your password reset mail. If you do not receive your reset mail within a few hours, please request a new password from Sony.

Hotmail and Sony are actively monitoring this situation to help better ensure that all password reset requests go through as quickly as possible.

Thank you

Took you how long to tell us that?
 
There you go...Sony and MS working together........wait, i heard a noise at the window.....OMG!!!......A huge bottomless pit has just opened up in the road and you could see huge columns of fire and black acrid smoke erupt into the air, and also what sounds like gazillions of people screaming in agony and terror.....but now its gone very all quite and seems to be covered completely in ice.......very strange.:p
 
I'm surprised that they couldn't anticipate that considering the news that Sony posted ahead of time. It shouldn't have been unexpected if they knew what was going on, and it doesn't exactly take a rocket scientist to figure out.

:guffaw:

I can't believe it took this long and all this fuss for that response we got earlier, Microsoft are you always this slow at P.R exercises ?
