Hilarious timing for a 6h+ downtime/instability, with all the controversy about them killing physical games and lack of response from Sony.
Heh, hearing lots of similar sentiments from different people.
I wonder if this is an organized attack, out of hate what Sony does at the moment.
Just AWS being down again, as far as I'm aware.
AWS having issues + the billion dollar company pushing for a digital-only future not knowing concepts like "cloud redundancy".
AWS recovered quickly apparently, PSN outage continued.

Must be a slow news day if they are doing an article with a question mark that can be answered with turning on your console.
Or by opening https://status.playstation.com/
And yes, all services are experiencing issues right now.

Seems at the time the article was published, the status page was showing green across the board. They updated the status page after the fact, and then the article updated to include that.
Status page probably took a while to "realize" its offline. They do not operate on realtime.
Oh wow good info to know. Tx.
Not everyone has a console. And those who have it, might be at work and could plan around to come later to home. :-) These articles aren't bad to have, they just report what is happening.
I think it's rhetorical.
Remember this news story, PlayStation Users Report New Online License Checks, But Sony Quells Concerns. So PS5's turn into overpriced paperweights when?
As far as I know, there was genuine nuance to that story. The short version is they set up license checks built to stop refund scammers who would buy a game, install it, go offline, and refund it.
If someone has confirmed otherwise, I’d be open to correction.
The PlayStation network is boycotting itself.
