Last time it happened in 2011, it lasted for almost a month and they were pretty quiet about it initially. I wouldn't be surprised if this happens again this time around.

There's no reason it wouldn't happen though, there's got to be a good reason for why we haven't been told anything about why the servers are down.

Not telling us us an excuse. Look what happened back in 2011. For two weeks, Sony didn't announce anything until they were pressured to and by then, anyone that had credit cards or debit card info lost a lot of money because Sony didn't respond quick enough and didn't tell the people 'Hey, your card info just got stolen.'

Arma and a few other games have been hit with ddos attacks. I think PSN was on the list too.

Xbox was as well. The only console provider that didn't get hot was Nintendo.

Because they have an exposed vulnerability in their network and dont want to draw every hackers attention to it.

Probably a hack scare.
