Nice picture, too bad it's in japanese...
I personally hope the PSN will be back this weekend, I'm really startin' to lose my patience...
Sorry, I was taking the piss because the diagram looks useless. Granted the Japanese notes at the side probably explain it but the picture itself made me chuckle.
This article sounds really bad....

The security lapses really highlight the problems of the lumbering juggernaut that is SONY.
In the Big Picture it appears that they really don't know what they are doing, or that dept's aren't communicating with each other.
Probably a major hesitance on the part of the Japanese to share information with their counterparts in other countries for the fear that they lose face.
[Your network has just been hacked to death, and your butt has been well and truly kicked, how much face have you got left?]
It doesn't surprise me.
They not only need to fix the PSN and other SONY sites, but they also need to address the way they respond to these sort of threats.
They way that somebody in SONY reportedly found the venerability, called a meeting to explain the problem, and then nobody shows up, sums up the state of affairs at SONY.
Reminds me of Government department, loads of people working there with the vast majority being ineffective come a crisis.
On the plus side, this has given me time to really get into demon souls
Just signed in to PSN , working in the uk now(;
Hey z1 you just joined a race I was in, but I got offline to stuff my face..
Can't get online, it says PSN's undergoing maintenance. Are you guys having the same problem?
I njust turned on my PS3 to check and I got signed in with no probs... May be an EU thing.
Yeah to be fair it sorted itself out pretty quickly, might have just been a minor glitch.
Isn't it down again?! I hate it when that happens...
