Hi everyone. Hope you all enjoy this one, sorry it took so long to do another documentary. As always, any support on Patreon is greatly appreciated, and thank you all so much for watching. You're all the best.
Great job as always!
Mystic fantastic documentary Ryan loved it
Thanks for the hard work 👍
Nice video, although too many youtube commercials, keep it real. That outage was during my peak movie downloading days on to my PS3. My brother was laughing at me with his 360 fanboys. I did not have a credit card or any funds on my account so and I wasn't too worried about my info, I just changed all my passwords immediately after.
I didn't feel too offended by this event, especially because Sony handled it mostly professionally.
Xbox on the other hand burned me 3 times with the red ring, it made perfect circles destroying several of my games, low quality 360 controllers that lasted me less than 1 year, and now a crummy exclusive-less generation. It gets harder for me to forgive their mistakes. Especially with those stupid,"oops" error messages.
I enjoyed that alot was really good keep up the great work 👍
Imagine working for Sony's technical support the day it started...
A fucking nightmare
@Wilf 116 I can imagine how fast that person's heart dropped. I wonder how many overtime hours were worked because of the attack.

I swear to god bro the psn security wasn’t either made yet powered yet or was just underpowered against the big hacking groups
Luckily I was still playing ps2 in 2011.

Didn't know that my dads credit card was in jeopardy. Now infamous is one of my favorite game series
Omg me too. Infamous is actually my #1 fave lol
I’m so glad that back then when I wanted anything I would use psn cards instead of debit/credit cards, if a hack like that happened now I’d lose my shit because I do have some stuff connected

Anonymous: we dont want to create any inconvenience for the gamers

Maybe it wasn't them.
Nah it was someone else and Sony had weak a$$ security for the PS3.
It wasn’t Anonymous tho. It’s a guy named Cody Kretsinger.
If is fairly unlikely it is them.
Imagine just getting the PS3 and discovering that you can play online with other players only to have the Network get hacked a week or so later...
Yeah, that was me.
Lol, that was almost me since I got my PS3 sometime in early 2011 but didn't decide to make an account until around August
I got my ps3 on December 23rd of 2010 so yes I went through the hack
On my birthday, April 25th 2011, I got a PSP GO which was completely digital which meant I could only download games through the playstation store. Needless to say I was very upset when I found out the network was down and I couldn't get any games for it. It went back to the store 2 days later for a refund. I never bought another Sony product again.
Thats me 😂 Got my ps3 in March 2011
Got it on February 2011, was frustrated with barely time I was playing online before servers went down 😅
I remember when this happened I never wanted to play Black Ops 1 so bad but couldn't because no PSN... Then all we got was a free indie game and a week of PS Plus lol.
Woah Zac never thought I'd see you here
ok didt think i would see you here
i mean, some of the choices were infamous littlebigplanet and wipeout but k lol
Woah infamous is a very good game, so is little big planet.
I remember those days, damm time flies
Who is here after hearing Sony got hacked again????
Sony as a company is so weak, and the fact they still have not spoke out about this speaks volumes. Rockstar immediately got the FBI involved once someone started leaking their GTA 6 footage, embarrassing.
@@jaylenyaheardmeh8588the hack was debunked and determined to be a hoax.
Ugh I remembered when it happened. I was 11 at the time so I didn't really realize how serious the issue had been. At the time I was only pissed off that I couldn't access PSN.
Hackers in April: *hacks psn*
Sony: “We are sorry, it won’t happen again.”
Hackers in May: “Want to see me do it again?”
Should said, I'll fuckin do it again
😂😂😂😂

@Michael Connors Your last name is Conners lol
@Michael Connors Thats what life says to you lmao
That hack was great. It got Little Big Planet & Infamous. Both great games.
Sameeee
both games are so fuckin amazing
Did you have 2 accounts? I only got little big planet and a couple of psp titles.
I downloaded all 5 through various accounts. Never played Wipeout but especially loved Infmaous and playing through Dead Nation with friends
Infamous and infamous 2 were fuckinnnng goood and had replay value too. I played both of those games at least 10 times over each
This event is oddly nostalgic for me, what a wild time; I miss these times when this random stuff would happen. PS3/XBOX 360/Wii era was something else man.
I was 11 at the time in Aus and remember being down for months... now I’m told it was only 23 days wtf
Finally it’s not just me I thought it was down for months too
yeh i was 10, it was during school holidays as well, back then two weeks of school holidays felt like an eternity of freedom lmao.
Yeah I was just thinking earlier that it must have been like 3-4 months that it was down, but then read it was only 23 days!
Mandela effect
This didn't really affect me. I'm just glad I got free games out of it lol. It'd be far worse if it happened today
Dude the free games they gave as compensation sucked.
@@HossBonaventureCEO Little Big planet was something I remember as a kid I'm glad they released those games
@@CherryFlavoredAntAss Littlebigplanet was the 4th one in the US. Lbp was almost 3 years old, Infamous was almost 2 yeats old and already had huge price cuts, wipe out was meh, and dead nation was super short.

It happened on Xbox in 2015 or 2016 for a week? That was when I just got it.

Sony might not be the cleanest company in the planet concerning their products, but at the very least they are responsible enough to take full backlash against their wrong doings and apologize for breaking their promised delivered services. Good job Sony, you genuinely tried your best 👍
This documentary is very well done 👏🏻
It was a dark month for sure. I was in the middle of a good ass game on Ascension in BO1 when it happened 😭😭
what round
Fearless loner Pfft man if I had to take a wild guess, it was at least round 15. I remember having all my weapons upgraded and then boom. *An error has occurred. You have been signed out of PlayStation Network*
I was playing Kino at the time
I finally got a thunder gun at round 23 and I went to upgrade it. I put it in the pack a punch machine.... sadly never saw it come out
*an error has occured*

@@barrymccockiner773 "I was in the middle of a good ass game..."
I lost a friend because of this. I knew someone who was suicidal and I had talked her down multiple times. After the hack, I never saw her log in again and after mourning her for a long time, I kind of accepted that I'd never get closure and unfriended her account. I hated always seeing her PSN ID on my list with the Last Logged In date only getting longer and longer...
I think about her on occasion, praying she didn't actually do anything but... I don't have high hopes anymore.
this makes me sad
I used to play with a friend i met on ps. I played with him almost everyday for 2 years. And one day he logged off and ive never heard from him again.
imagine she logged on and she saw u werent there
@@poptoot530 yikes
She committed suicide because the servers were down? Lol

Come on everybody, strike up the band!
Funny thing I lost 450$ and missed the welcome pack..
RIP
Rip
RIP
@Nikitos 77 Did you miss the PS3 when the PS3 welcome pack happened because you weren’t on the PS3? Or did you not get the PS3 welcome pack even when it came out?
I also didn't get the welcome back pack, because when I had originally created my psn account, I had mistyped one character in my email. And so, I was always using an email address I never had access to
Only realized it after 1 month of frustration of not being able to play online, when I had to reset the password. And of course I also lost all the trophies and stuff. Ahhhhh good old days!
I was an Xbox gamer during these days so I was largely unaffected by this. I do remember my PS3 friends freaking out.
Me too,my friends were so scared while I was playing mw2
that shit was like 9/11 of the gaming world
I felt bad for em lol

me to I never used psn that much un til PS4 comes
Dude i bought my ps3 at the same time. A day before the outage. And specifically just to play CoD online. I was so pissed when i got home and tried to sign up. I played so much campaign and zombies.
10 years later and Rockstar is going through the SAME THING!
IMPOSSIBLE... The Hackers back then could have forced a new forged FW-Update on PSPs and PS3 and it was a Mainframe-Takeover... Is it a Mainframe-Takeover in Rockstar's case?
I’d love to see Ryan make more of the docs I’d imagine they’re weeks/months of work though

Can you imagine if this happened during theCOVID pandemic?
The music playing in the background really makes this much more suspenseful.
I was 16 and in college when this happened (in the UK)...crazy how time flies because I remember this so much. I was addicted to the PS3 in my teen years, so this was massive to me and that’s why I will ALWAYS remember it.
I was 10 when this happened. I did not remeber how extensive the problems where but remember the free games.
I was 4
I was 14
I was 19
I was 31.....
I was only 8 at the time, and I'm pretty sure I got my PS3 a couple weeks after all this had settled down, but even I vaguely remember hearing about this while my family watched the news. Never knew PSN was down for so long though, I think I always imagined in my mind that it was closer to a week. Very interesting to learn about.
Can we just appreciate the fact that sony tried so hard to fix this situation hope nothing like this happens again.
Yeah, after it was their asses being put on the line too.
something like this shouldn't have been possible in the first place, DDOS is something anybody can do with a bot network, its a wonder nobody did it earlier.
cough lizard squad cough cough
Maybe Sony shouldn’t have asked for more than they could handle asking for PayPal information? User IPs who watched his CZcams videos? Sony wanted to be Tyrant but forgot that there are people out there that will put them in check.

@Josh Josh it in fact was a month
Just a thought, but it seems to me that the PS3-Vita era (About years: 2006-2012) were PlayStation's darkest years. PS3 having a rough start, Vita failed in sales, and the PSN Hack.
True tho
What? The vitas PSN functionality was amazing ..
It probably says something to how rapidly the internet was growing at this time that this was such a massive deal. Back in 2008 or so it probably wouldn't be quite so big yet still a big deal. Nowadays though, something like this seems insanely unthinkable. Gaming and online are almost completely intertwined now, and thinking of something like fortnite being offline for 23 days seems insane. There would be riots.
Well Nintendo is 10 steps behind in the world of online connectivity
laughs in trade evolve pokemon* fuck your Kadabra!
@Splatink at least they don’t get their servers hacked and reveal millions of personal information.
Argonxx12 1 That happens to every online network at least once . It happened to Xbox too and furthermore Nintendo Switch has terrible online
@THE BEST I’m not hating on Sony. I was making a joke but okay.
Well they don’t have security breaches so that’s that
I bought a ps3 in late July or early August of 2011 as a Sophomore in highschool. I didn't even know about this fiasco until a few months later when I made some new friends at school that played ps3 (most played xbox360).
I was just excited to finally take my 2 weeks worth of pay during the summer to finally buy a ps3 that I had been wanting for years. I bought it after work walking a mile to the mall. Caught the public bus, and then walked the almost 2 miles home over a big mountain holding my ps3 slim massive box. Embarrassing? Yes. Did I care? Fuck no

im surprised i wasnt affected when this happened. i was playing online like there was no tomorrow, same with offline
I Remember those days very clearly, Waiting patiently to get back online, being on the forums discussing it, Playing games offline and then it being finally online and getting the welcome back pack... those 11+ years went by so fast
who else was online while this happened.. It was scary.

However it did make me play solo... And reach the highest cod zombies level I've ever had
i agree with u making friends with people is traumatic and useless

@@LiEnby Yeah they could liar. They had FULL MAINFRAME ACCESS as well as FW-Update files being signable. Look up my name... I was Co-Administrator of the biggest Scene-site back then.
