I'm sorry but the cynic in me say "End of this Week" is the song sung by Sony too many times

Who can forget classics like:

"A Couple of Days"
"Soon"
"By the End of the Month"
"Partially Backup"
"Not this Week, nor Next, but Maybe Soon; Rumors Edition (Part I)"
"Not this Week, nor Next, but Maybe Soon; Factual Edition (Part II)"

Now the new single: "End of this Week"

 

[hosannainexcelsis]

I'll believe it when I see the store in front of my eyes.

 

[Papercuts]

They've only been wrong on general dates about 8 times now, so I'm not holding my breath for another "by the end of the week".

 

[(._.)]

guess it will be down for e3, embarrassing

 

[Magnus]

It's fucking hilarious how close this came to E3. I remember the community at large on here distinctly joking about how it'd last a long time, but not that it would dare take this long to get the Store back, and lo and behold, here we are, days from E3.

 

[careksims]

I'll believe it when I see the store in front of my eyes.

Yup the same. Will never believe them til then. SMH.

 

[MichaelEM3]

...by the end of this week.

This time for real!

 

[ElRenoRaven]

seeing is believing

I'm with you. I'll believe it when I see it.

 

[the chris]

I'm just annoyed that they waited to practically the last second to announce that it wouldn't be up by tomorrow.

Sony is using Valve Time. And we all know what that means!

Spoiler

Nothing, lamentably.

 

[corrosivefrost]

Don't get excited.
I'm sure it'll be re-hacked and offline within a week. :$

 

[Doctor West]

So it should be up at the end of the week, give or take a month or two.

 

[harriet the spy]

The press release contradicts itself.

It says we can download stuff now, but it also says by the end of the week.

IT JUST KEEPS GETTING BETTER (TM)

seriously, this is confusing.

 

[Oneself]

I'll be happy if it goes live at the end of the week. Let's say friday. Hopefully I will be able to purchase the incredible amount of stuff we've missed in the last month.

 

[Dreohboy]

Don't get excited.
I'm sure it'll be re-hacked and offline within a week. :$

I only need the store up for 3 hours.


Warhawk DLC.
Uncharted 2 DLC.
Furniture and Clothes for Home.

After that, as long as I can access E3 videos in HOME I'm good with the store going back offline temporarily.

I just want to get current purchase needs taken care of.

 

[NullPointer]

Its funny because its true. Again and again and again.

It's amazing what you have to say when people who don't understand the situation at all demand answers and deadline every second. They tried to stay quiet until they knew for show but that shit didn't fly either.

 

[tedtropy]

I see Sony is now using the Duke Nukem Forever method of completion dates. Damn it, just get it up long enough so I can get my "lol we're sorry" copies of LBP and Infamous 1.

Yeah, WTF is with that?

 

[Zekes!]

All I want is to be able to download this shit

 

[Fuzzy]

What does Sony consider as the end of the week? Friday, Saturday or Sunday?

 

[chubigans]

What does Sony consider as the end of the week? Friday, Saturday or Sunday?

Sunday, June 26th.

 

[Wario64]

oooooooooooohh myyy god

It'll be up by E3 at least so I bet Sony thinks this is good news

 

[darkressurection]

All I know is that if the SSF4 AE DLC doesn't come out on the 7th I am gonna go sneak into Sony and physically steal that shit from their servers.

 

[Automatisch]

I give up.

 

[corrosivefrost]

This is what I was alluding to before.. might've been posted already, but if not...

http://www.1up.com/news/beginning-the-end-sony-hacker-group

That same group said on Twitter this past Friday, "We're working on another Sony operation. We've condensed all our excited tweets into this one: this is the beginning of the end for Sony." A follow-up tweet yesterday said, "#Sownage (Sony + Ownage) Phase 1 will begin within the next day. We may have a pre-game show for you folks though. Stay tuned." As of this writing, no further updates related to Sony have been posted.

 

[Kagari]

Keep that hacker garbage out of this thread please.

 

[Killthee]

Hopefully the rollout begins after tomorrow's scheduled maintenance.

Sunday, June 26th.

lol

 

[ShaunBRS]

The Aztec Xiuhpohualli calendar had 20-day weeks. I think they're using that.

 

[okenny]

I'll believe it when I see the store in front of my eyes.

Will you want to stick your finger through PSN's holes after it died for your sins?

 

[Alligatorjandro]

I have a feeling it will be back tomorrow

 

[okenny]

They're going by the weeks based off of Neptune's year

 

[okenny]

I have a feeling it will be back tomorrow

Are you sure it isn't constipation instead? :/

 

[Alligatorjandro]

Are you sure it isn't constipation instead? :/

Nope I went today

 

[YoungHav]

I just got laid off a week ago. Sony missed their chance, I was spending recklessly before.

Good luck, man. Sorry to hear that.

 

[TheSeks]

Sony missed their chance when they won't fix my PS3 for free for me to continue to purchase things impulsively (okay, not so much, but...) on my PS3. >:|

[Dedication Through Light]

Oh thank arceus PSN will be back fully. Now I can finally buy that DDR DLC Ive been dying to get (two more packs, I want it all).

 

[funkystudent]

so "end of the week"?


I have a feeling we have been here before.

 

[SUBZERO-08]

I don't really have any hope that the store will be up anytime soon anymore. The best thing I can hope for is that it comes up the day of their E3 conference totally revamped. But that's not gonna happen.

 

[ULTROS!]

So much for tomorrow.

Damn you Grace Chen.

 

[NEOPARADIGM]

lol ... good point.

 

[Jive Turkey]

Holy shit. As long as it goes up before the 14th I'll be happy.

Either that or stay down until July...

 

[sixteen-bit]

AE is out June 7th. Ideally it would be up before then.

 

[hlhbk]

I called it weeks ago. PSN store being back up is gonna be one of their big E3 announcements. How sad.

first rule of fight club is.......



either these are just some blowhard dweebs tryin to act hard and pretend to be l337

or they are so retarded about announcing their intentions ahead of time thus alerting authorities.....

 

[Degen]

dangerously close to duke nukem's release date. i'm telling you, they would never live it down...

 

[Lucario]

Contrary to popular rumours
Contrary to popular rumours
Contrary to popular rumours

Fucking SERIOUSLY? Using this AGAIN?


It's not a rumor if you say that's when it'll be up, it's not a rumor if you tell devs that's when it'll be up. You are a joke Sony.

Someone in the PSN thread called this exactly when they said the 24th thing was a "popular rumor", then promised it up by the 31st. Now apparently that was a popular rumor too. >_>

Calling it right now, Saturday hits:


"Contrary to popular rumours, PSN will not be up until the end of June....."

 

[SolsticeZero]

Could be tomorrow...or Saturday.

Never a set date, christ.

Agreed, setting a date is a bad idea. Give a broad time-frame, that way they can have some wiggle room.

 

[Oppo]

If they're smart... and I'm certainly not saying that... they think it'll be back on Tuesday night or Wednesday, and they are leaving padding for last minute showstoppers.

It's funny to see how carefully they have worded it... "aiming for end of May" has now turned into "WILL be back in a week".

Such a clusterfuck, one can only marvel at the extent at this point.

I still maintain that not a peep (or at best, a passing reference) will be said about the outage at their press conference.

(there is a bit of GAF effect going on, where people are confusing official statements with GAF-talk, but Sony should be considering all of this so I don't really give them a pass on that)
