Sony PlayStation Network Still Down! Future Backlash By Users?
Sony’s PlayStation network has been down for over 3 weeks and I begin to wonder how many users have backlashed. Sure its suppose to be up in a few days but Sony will have to do some serious “makeup work” to get its users happy again. This has not affected me much b/c of my busy […]
