    I was having no luck with my original account, try logging onto another account if you have one and log back in as yourself

    My Ps Plus ran out and a 48hr trial popped up on the screen :)

    Still nothing for me

    Tried changing MTU to 1473 and tried logging on, i got the terms and conditions screen and clicked accept but then says the connection to the server has been terminated.

    You would imagine Sony/Microsoft would be all over this as its going into day 3 now

    Kimdotcom basically rewarded them for taking down the networks. Cue a lot more of this in the future with people expecting 'ransoms' being paid to them.

    I don't know what to make of that really. I hadn't the slightest clue who he was before it, but when I googled him and read through his twitter feed the whole thing started to get a bit fishy. I might be reading too far in to it, but I got fed up reading what he was posting when he started bragging and got preachy.

    Obviously though, it does make it a lot more likely to happen again now that one group has been paid off for it.

    He already has tons of PR. He's also apparently running for U.S. Government :).
    In fairness, more like hm wouldn't be a bad thing.

    I can sign in, but need the validation email to do anything, and it won't send, from two different accounts. Anyone else experiencing this?

    Saw a few people with that problem on the PS support twitter page. They were told to check their spam/junk folders then contact their local support centre.

    Seems Sony are giving their users a compensation package over Lizard Squads asshat move and their slow response to it.

    All PSN users will receive a one time 10% off code for the total cart cost of a purchase and an additional 5 day PS+ membership for all PSN users with an active or trial PS+ membership on the 25th of Deecember.

    That's not much of a compensation to anyone who received a PS4 for Christmas.
    My friends kid couldn't touch his main Christmas present for 3 days.

    It's better than nothing. Sony didn't have to do something like this, though nothing is going to be enough compensation for the sheer disappointment and dismay caused by those idiots.

    Seems a few of them that were giving out the interviews at Christmas have been identified and arrested. Seriously though they should have already been grabbed considering they called in a hoax bomb threat on a commercial flight back in September.

    Also Lizard Squad apparently hit Sony harder than Microsoft on this occasion, hitting them with 1.2Tb/s of junk data making it the largest DDOS attack yet. The previous record was 400Gb/s.

    He couldn't touch it? Broken networks are known to be hazardous alright!

    It was a minor inconvenience for a few days, the kid won't even remember how he couldn't go online in 3 months time.

    Taken from Eurogamer:

    http://www.eurogamer.net/articles/2015-01-02-sony-says-sorry-for-psn-christmas-outage-with-five-days-of-ps-plus-ps-store-discount

    Meanwhile, cops have arrested a 22-year-old man from Twickenham believed to be linked to Lizard Squad. The man was arrested on 31st December in a raid on his home conducted by the South East Regional Organised Crime Unit (SEROCU). He was later released on bail until 10th March 2015.

    The Thames Valley Police statement fails to reference the Christmas 2014 attacks on PSN and XBL, but security researcher Brian Krebs posted a copy of a bail notice on his blog that suggests the 22-year-old man is Vinnie Omari, who has been linked to Lizard Squad.

    Depends on the kid. If it's their first console, the memory is definitely tainted. Majority of gamers have very fond memories of Xmas morning and their first console.

    Could he not play offline or were his games to be downloaded from the store? Have loads of people here at work complaining about it also but their kids had physical copies of games so thought they were going overboard!

    I still can't connect - getting CE33992-6 error. Checked the support website which says it's a PSN issue, but I thought the issue has been resolved?

    Did you try things suggested in this thread?

    For example, "Try opening the share factory app"
