FOSTER CITY,CA – Sony throws in the towel on fixing the Playstation Network.
“I can’t handle the pressure” and “For the love of God someone please help us!” are echoed throughout the halls of Sony headquarters in Foster City.
PlayStation Network (PSN) was turned off April 20 in the wake of an “external intrusion”. No one thought that it would be the day the network died. Now almost a week later, Sony has finally called it quits.
The PSN used to offer great streaming content where users could purchase or rent movies and television programs directly from Sony as well as allowed access to streaming content from great apps including Hulu Plus, Netflix, Vudu, and Music Unlimited. Not to mention that PSN also offered a variety of online content for many popular games. But those are the days of yore.
Games like Mad Blocker Alpha were supposed to launch this week for sale on PSN but clearly that did not take place. As a result of this flub and several like it, Sony is now racking up debt and executives at Sony have decided to put the hammer down on this money pit of a problem.
“We give up! We invite anyone who thinks that they can fix this to fill out job applications for Sony and immediately FedEx them to us,” said a junior level executive who wished to remain anonymous.
Two programmers have reportedly died while trying to fix the problem. Their deaths were similar in manner to the way that the children of Korea who live, eat, and play in internet cafés often die whilst playing World of Warcraft.
“We can’t take this anymore! No one else needs to die over this,” said a junior level programmer.
Those who think that they can fix this problem should stop reading this article and immediately send their resume to Sony. To apply for a job with Sony, go to http://us.playstation.com/corporate/about/careers/ and apply. Apply to any job, it really doesn’t matter. If you have any idea that might fix this problem, they will take you. They will take whoever they can get now. They are really desperate. Just make sure to tell them that good ol’ Pierce Blodyn sent you.
lol…wow it is amazing the crap that comes out in these posts….love it – they say to rush your resume by fedex not fax or email….lmao.
I sent mine via snail mail. I figred its already taken this long, so whats the rush?
That's F*CKING hilarious. I would like my money back for the system and every multiplayer game "all of them" that i have bought. Make that check out to cash. oh yeah… first…
ok this is totaly biased! sony has NOT given up on it! they are working day and night tirelessly to fix the issue. dont talk about something if you dont even know what youre talking about
they may not have given up but they might as well. it's been days. it's like you keep buying car insurance for a car you don't drive. or a cell phone you never use b/c you have another one. you have it for when you need it "just in case" but it's pointless.
Hey you know xbox live was down for 14 days right? and it went down they didn't turn it off like sony did. Hell sony could turn it on if it wanted but it's trying to fix a problem. So this shit doesn't happen again.
i hope they can fix this
WOW they better fix this shit

it's just so funny
i like x box but i do not like paying for it
You get what you pay for *cough* Sony *cough*.
u got online
WHAT???? LOL
This about the biggest lie I have ever heard. Honestly people need to think, a large corporation like sony wouldn’t give up this easily; not to mention the playstation network runs more than just the playstation store: it also runs all online gaming. If something like black ops on ps3 didn’t even have online gaming Sony would lose significant profit from all online games. I’m not going to play $60 for a campaign and split screen zombies. People would go and buy xbox’es on the dime and ps3 would be as worth as much as a gameboy. I know for a fact that’s not what the email I received from Sony told me. If anything this a minor delay to build up security so we can enjoy the service that we all love.
I want my money back whatta peice a crap!!!!
Wow I’m actually laughing at this. I don’t believe one bit of it. Its hard to believe sony would just call it quits with their online services after years of online play. They have had their occasional instances where the network had been down and they have been able to bring it back up. But for them just to simply “give up” on rebuilding their system after this, is just ridiculous and childish. And for the stress I’m sure its pretty heavy on the workers but doubt anyone would die because of it. I’m a die hard playstation fan ever since the original ps1. Never will I give up on sony. I do occasionally play on xbox at friends houses and I even bought one last summer but quickly took it back cause it just didn’t seem right for me to give up on sony so I still proudly play on the ps3 online and off. It shouldn’t be so much of a dilemma that people can’t play online for a few weeks. The weathers starting to get nice and the grass is getting green outside so I have no problem getting out and doing something instead of playing online like everyone else seems to be. No offense to the handicap people intended. Yes I have a job and I am graduated in 09 and like to play online almost every night in the winter and summer nights. But I don’t let games stop my life when I can’t pay online anymore.i suggest you guys do the same every now and then.
This article is nothing but full of BS no one died and they would not give up on the network because thats too many people to piss off.
guys this is fake go to playstion blog sony has said they will have psn up and running within a week
