Worded it badly. What I meant was, just because they had to take it down doesn't mean it's their fault for doing it. If there were no hackers, the PSN would be up right now, from what we've been told.

It's their system, they know it better than us. I don't see how you fix things live if it affects your entire network. If there was something severe enough going on that they had to take it down like this and lock out every single PSN user from games and such, then they HAD to do it. I mean, they're a business; they want to make money. Having this turned off will piss off millions of people and make them lose money. So if it was actually shut off, then I think it had to be. They wouldn't risk it for anything small.

You should know that the "V for Vendetta kids" have come out to say that their group was not organized to do such attacks which caused the playstation network to go down. Their official statement purports that they will wait until this unrelated issue passes then start bothering Sony away from the Network again.
