Trouble is, once a network has gone down hard, it's a complete bugger to get back going. I think Sony need to take a long hard look about how they authenticate our service. Bungies servers are ok, so we can theoretically play the game, its just validating our PSN status thats the downfall. Does this need to be done every game session? could we get away with once a week? I expect some kind of refund for this, otherwise it hasn't cost them anything, the only people who lose out are people who want to play
