I typed "PSN" into twitter and it would appear that everybody on the planet is absolutely freaking out about this. I'm not over-the-moon mad just yet, but I am a little annoyed. My wife took the baby to her parents for a visit so I have been waiting for tonight for weeks to play some games. I'll wait, but if this is still down tomorrow night my rage-o-meter might start to rise.
What's interesting (and troubling) from where I sit is that I had no idea single player games were so reliant on the trophy/online system. It's so weird I almost question if that's the cause of the problem (see arbitors post above me about the calendar). If just the PSN goes down for a while I can see that being an issue but not a huge problem. Thing is this little issue has rendered the gaming capabilities of the system almost useless. I wasn't able to play 95% of my downloaded games. The only one I did manage to play was Super Stardust HD ... and that reverted it back to the demo version! I read on twitter somebody else mentioned that all his games downloaded from the psn became demos as well.
People are freaking out that their saves and trophies will all be gone. That would be such a pain in the ass if true.
