I don't use the PSNetwork and don't notice when it is gone. I might notice if the internet was lost, but that's it.
Recently I've been debating whether or not I want to purchase a PS3 or an Xbox 360.
My question isn't "Which is better" or "which has better games" etc, cuz lets face it, those are opinions.
My question is, how stable is the PSNetwork currently? I've not been following up on the recent activities of their hacking by Anonymous, only that they've taken down the PSN a couple times because of the jailbreak software by geohotz and sony's actions against it. So, is the PSN stable now? Are there still attacks?
