And that's why you don't make games that need to be online 100% of the time to function (and charge $60 for it). Also, it should be noted that paying $400 for a console only to be told that you can't use it because some teenagers are bored is a bad investment. Sony and Microsoft should know better. They are both big and juicy targets, but there are bigger and juicier targets out there that are able to weather those lame attacks. It's Christmas day and a lot of people who got Sony and MS products are unable to fully utilize those products. Those guys are ripping Sony a new one every other day since 2011. Sony learns nothing and remains awful in incident response and recovery.
