PSN Outage To Continue

A recent update on the PlayStation Blog offers up more bad news to Sony console owners.

Today, Patrick Seybold, Senior Director of Corporate Communications & Social Media confirmed that the PSN outage will continue indefinitely. While the team has been working feverishly to bring things back online, according to Seybold, the process is "time insensitive." The outage disables players from going online in any capacity and has disabled some online-heavy games in the process. Sony is also currently investigating possible credit card theft after their system was recently compromised.
