Hackers don't take a holiday, it seems. Hours after Microsoft’s Xbox Live went down Wednesday, Sony’s PlayStation Network went down, too.
These are two giant networks that console gamers access to play their games online. It's especially bad timing since a lot of people are probably getting new PlayStations and Xboxes for Christmas.

Round 2 from North Korea?
I have to grill dinner (Steak Tips and Cornell Chicken) and somehow get rid of a cooler of beer leftover from our annual Dec 23rd party (Bud Select, Amstel Light and Red Stripe).
The games are fun.
I have books and I have candles in case the power goes (very windy in Red Hampshire)...I’m good to go.
Microsoft doesn't care, kid...they already have Daddy's money. Bwah-ha-ha-ha!!
BF3 is back !!!!! Too bad I have to cook.
Where’s the pony?
My Xbox live wouldn’t log me on at first around 5:30 pm but let me on shortly after. I spent about 10 minutes browsing the store before logging off. Seemed to be fine.
Thanks for the info. I will try it out tomorrow. Bought an external drive for it too so will be putting all the big games on that. What’s your xbox live user name I will add you once I Get it set up
Company is still over and I have to get up early tomorrow.
Yea,but the nice thing with Steam is most of the games are playable in offline mode, no internet needed. Just the multiplayer parts require internet. But yea, I do have my N64 and it’s the best for party games or entertaining little kids :)
Was just looking for Steam's status ... THANKS! My kids are PC Gamers -- gave up the inferior XBOX platform two years ago and haven't looked back. The graphics are SUPERIOR compared to XBOX or PlayStation ...
Yea, that website’s useful to know if connection issues are on your end on Steam’s. But graphics are all dependent on the game, different developers have different standards they use. Steam is much better overall, better variety and PC games are easier to play. And if you’re having a party, the N64 wins for party games anyway.
