psn still down

According to the askplaystation twitter feed we are still without psn with no update on when we will be back online. I just got dragon age and it is starting to be an inconvenience to even play that since it has to connect to the dragon age server, so it takes me about 5 minutes to boot up the game.

Not cool.  I just got that too and was looking to possibly give it a go this weekend and I'm gonna be pretty pissed if I can't.  Guessing that I'll have similar problems with FarCry 4 too.

You can still play. Just takes 5 mins before the game gives up connecting to the server

Yeah, but I want to load in the background from the previous games, doesn't that require connection to the servers?  Still not sure if that will work even if everything is 100% since I played all the previous games on Xbox 360 and now I'm switching to PlayStation.  I'm hoping the data is stored with my EA/Origins account and when I load that it will pull up my past choices.

Seemed to be fully up last night.  I played on and off over the holiday break but mostly spent time with my family since my brother was in town.  I found I could connect and play if I was persistent enough to reload over and over again on games like Destiny and FF14.  Far Cry 4 had an offline mode so I was good to go there (but never had time to play lol).  I also DL'd Little Big Planet 3 for my kids and that went well but I did that on Saturday night and most everything was back to normal.

Still, sucks it was down for so long over Xmas.  I especially feel bad for kids who got a new shiney console on Xmas and could not play it.  Stupid hackers.
