On the evening of Wednesday April 20th, millions of PlayStation gamers were left game-less for the long weekend. Apparently the PSN was down for maintenance because hackers managed to shut it down. Since then PlayStation has been working around the clock to restore the online network. They are re-building the system's online network to tighten the security and there is still no information on when the PSN will be back online. With the PSN always getting shut down, gamers may have the urge to switch over to the Xbox 360.
I personally have a PlayStation 3 and I only play online so it kind of sucks; especially when I don't feel like watching TV or take a break from the computer. Check out PlayStation Blog for the latest news on this story.
