Sony Blames 'External Intrusion' For Lengthy PSN Outage 321
Several readers have noted that outages on Sony's PlayStation Network have prevented online play for the past few days. The company has now blamed an 'external intrusion' for the trouble, saying they took down the network to "conduct a thorough investigation and to verify the smooth and secure operation of our network services going forward." Some suspect an attack by Anonymous, who declared war on Sony earlier this month, but Anonymous has disavowed knowledge of such an attack. Meanwhile, others are asking whether Sony should compensate users for the inability to play PS3 multiplayer modes, and even single-player modes on a few downloadable games.

I love the implication that Anonymous has a representative that can "disavow knowledge of such an attack."
Anonymous is not an organization! It's a bunch of jerks on the internet.

the price of PSN is folded into the cost of the console. there is no monthly fee, but it isn't free.

I suspect they're speaking about the Plus subscribers... who do pay.

It isn't. Start netflix up, it will bring up a sign-on dialog. Pick sign-on, Netflix should start up, it will ask to sign-in again, attempt to sign-on again and you should be all set.
