Why would they when their biggest userbase is in the US and Europe?

More like Sony should restore the whole world at once, but since they can't, prioritizing US and Europe makes sense even though we hate it.

i agree, it is their motherland after all.. but it's not their fault that hte japan government wouldn't let them.

And that too. Although I don't understand why we're affected because of it. Completely unrelated perhaps?

Asian psn is based in HK and not in Japan

Exactly, that's why I don't see the connection between the Japan issue and our own server. I feel it's unrelated and we'll be getting ours back when we do regardless of the Japanese server status.

Sony's management is f***ed up.......

zzz.

lol, not trying to argue with you or anything, just giving my opinion

That made my day

Stupid SONY SERVICE MALAYSIA,,,i'm sending my console to check up n repair about noisy sound when I put the disc but U juz give it enable to play disc only and still noisy sound accured,,,playing juz 1 hour n then the disc enable to play,,,WTF

Actually Asia is bound under Japan. Servers are in Japan not HK. HK is just a support side. I read this somewhere long time ago so dont have the source now.

Try logging in from kz3 website, you notice it says under maintenance and also in japanese.

I see, in that case it IS related unfortunately :/

Original point still stands though, if they could only restore region by region, the wise choice would be US and Europe first.


I want my PSN back -.-

wrong thread ? to me is normal for the disc drive to make sound when its accessing/reading the disc....

Noisy and Cracking sound,,,and only can Play about 30minutes or to one hour then hang,,,,sound like disc cant be read,,,,

Actually is Japan that doesn't allow Sony to turn on PSN until Sony can assure that is it safe to turn on

japanese govt. concerned about the people don't want them to get scammed

(about that article about the Japanese government and PSN)Well that makes sense, I mean, it would really "suck" to find out that you've been hacked or scammed after you reactivate your account so; "better safe than sorry."
However I do hope that the "PSN" is back tomorrow or sometime soon, if not well; patience is a virtue.

I read somewhere that one of the suspected hackers might be a Malaysian, if so we may always take comfort and pride in the fact that we specialize in malicious spyware programming, I don't think what the hackers did was right, but I take my hat off to them for managing to best a multinational cooperation's network defense.(No offence meant)

i agree with post #262, twojay.... i think its more userbase related, rather than what happened to japan... nway, earlier today i think, there was a post on playstation blog, where they had to reset the US server due to too much password change requests (which is compulsory) to clear out the queue. i think this pretty much explains why they had to open the network one at a time, and indirectly had to set which one to prioritize...

just my opinion though

lol... if its msian... its not good news... we are prone of doing many evil stuff and get very very heartlessly creative... and its goin to give us bad reputation, maybe lesser support in the future and more spying on our network which we all have to agree???

hang on... is he/she one of the forumer here??? lol..
