The PlayStation Network (PSN) is down, depriving online gamers around the world from accessing weekend events.

The outage began in the UK at about midnight on Friday.

About 71,000 gamers reported the outage to PlayStation’s website. Many users can no longer access online gaming lobbies, the PlayStation Store or their online accounts.

The PSN runs a model that costs £13.49 a month, £39.99 for three months or £119.99 for 12 months for its premium subscription. Many gamers have pointed to these costs when complaining to Sony.

    I think the lack of communication from Sony and Playstation is causing a lot of frustration. At least acknowledge they know about the global outage.

    Shit breaks, it happens. I can’t find the average uptime of PS servers but for online services it’s usually between 99% and 99.9%.

    I agree that it sucks, but I dislike the entitled whining about compensation. Go be mad about important things.

      When it is Saturday and you are 13 years old this is what truly matters.

      £120 for 12 months means the price for every 1 hour is £0.014. I guess they could be generous and give and refund the entire day - a whopping £0.33 :p

        Yeah I was thinking about that. Maybe with Saturdays, you might say they are 50% of the weekend (which may be the only time that matters), meaning £1.15 should be refunded lol
