No answers on PlayStation Network outage
by Garnett Lee, Apr 25, 2011 11:30am PDTIn his latest update on the continuing outage of the PlayStation Network and Qriocity services, Sony senior director of corporate communications and social media says basically that there is no new update.
I know you are waiting for additional information on when PlayStation Network and Qriocity services will be online. Unfortunately, I don’t have an update or timeframe to share at this point in time.
As we previously noted, this is a time intensive process and we’re working to get them back online quickly. We’ll keep you updated with information as it becomes available. We once again thank you for your patience.
Now entering the fifth full day of the PlayStation Network being down--Sony pulled the plug late Wednesday last week--the lack of information on the situation leaves those affected with mounting concerns.
Further compounding matters, a PC World report suggests that even were it inclined to share information at this time, Sony may not have concrete answers. The report cites a Sony spokesperson in Tokyo as admitting the company does not know whether personal information or credit card numbers have been compromised. It does add that if that was the case, Sony would notify users promptly.
Shacknews has contacted Sony's North American office for comment but has not as yet received any response.

So along with online & cross platform coop, Portal 2 is being affected. Not everyone has someone to play split-screen with when they want to, either!
Every game that has any sort of online functionality is being affected though, can't really say it's not so bad for this game or that game because single player or offline coop is more of a focus. It's just a bit worse for MK & P2 as they were released that week. The few weeks after release are usually when the most people play games with online functionality... online.
