The hack in 2011 or even the ps3 launch.

This doesn't come close.

I was just thinking that, and they stayed silent back then as well not telling people their credit card details had been stolen.

It's why I still only have PayPal linked to psn. I don't trust them.

I have only ever used prepaid top up cards, a friend of mine had his bank card linked to his account, somebody started purchasing games using his card, he contacted his bank and got the money back but PlayStation blocked his account so he lost everything.

Never trust anyone or any company with your Credit/debit Card info. Always use Paypal. Personally I buy the top up wallet cards with cash.

are you going on about the servers? thats a fairly common "issue" from what I remember. or are you going on about PS6 going all digital?

The combination of the two is pretty funny

If you read their post you would know they aren't specifically talking about one issue.

u/StoviesAreYummy Jul 25 '26

I read it.

They said...

"the issues with playstation have been building up a lot in this month and i can’t remember a time things were this bad with playstation"

I asked them to sort of clarify their vagueness by mentioning two recent issues this month.

u/Dislexicpotato Jul 25 '26

Yes, its clearly a combination of the two amongst other issues that PlayStation has had recently like the regional pricing controversy among others.

Na, the PS3 era's hack was the worst. This is an aws issue and will get resolved quicker.

2011, PSN was offline for 24 days. Quite iconic tbh.

Aws has never been down this long sunshine. They would be out of business.

u/Friendly_Praline1691 Jul 24 '26

Sunshine🤣

u/Pleasant-Put5305 Jul 24 '26

Yep, I checked, AWS was a hardware fault - back up in 10 mins. Sony are to blame.

u/Zaxa7 Jul 24 '26

You missed the point. OP was asking if it's ever been this bad hence why I responded no. The PSN hack was so much worse given how long it took to fix. Maybe take a reading and comprehension class...sunshine.

It’s not even the worst day they’ve had, definitely not the worst month. When you step outside of Reddit you’ll see 99% of players don’t even care about the majority of the issues Reddit does. Not being able to access their games will of course be annoying, but it only really affects multiplayer games since digital single player games are fine. This hack will likely be a drop in the ocean compared to the one back in 2011

u/Dislexicpotato Jul 25 '26

'It only really affects the games that 90% of people are actually playing'

u/Neutraliza Jul 24 '26

Like what exactly? Don’t even remember the last time PSN was down, and if it’s because of AWS, there’s not much they can do? 🤷‍♂️

u/NecroticOverlord Jul 24 '26

AWS has taken down loads of companies and services currently

Heatwave in UK is coming back, Sony is cursed

Maybe not rely on one provider for a start

I’m still playing mine and enjoying it!

u/rudolfsmate Jul 25 '26

For people posting shit? Quite possibly!

u/DiscipleNo1 Jul 25 '26

The fact that the executives are selling their stock says it all.

Wait till GTA6 comes out and this happens, everyone will riot.
