I’m interested to see how Sony will fix this – will they be able to push out a path over the network when people can’t connect in the first place?

Here’s one particularly unhappy customer who just wants to “eat cupcakes and shoot noobs on Call of Duty” – poor guy.

Edit: it looks like the issue has been fixed, about 24 hours after it started.
