Woo-hoo, my second script for Side Quest is live. It’s a good one! Though, and because I’m sworn to forever give Colin crap for this, he edited out a Dragon Ball Z reference/joke, so please direct all of your anime rage at him. 😉
Regularly scheduled Side Quest episodes has me happier than Colin on Vita Island surrounded by restaurants he can order from without leaving his couch.
KELLAAAAAYYYY UWAAAAAT? lol on of the best episodes. Great history on this cataclysmic event. Do you use prepaid cards or have you gone back to using your card?
What a month or so that was. I remember the day everything finally got switched back on. Just happened to have friends over that weekend and when we heard the news, had other friends from across the street come over for a pizza party and several hours of Black Ops online afterwords. Good times. It was fascinating years later to go back and listen to the old BEYOND! episodes that were recorded during the outage once I discovered the podcast. Great video! Very well edited and written.
I would probably not have played the original Infamous without the hack as I was a broke graduate student and didn’t buy a lot of games. Was one of my favorite PS3 titles. Remember all the hysteria during that time.
My info was stolen because of this hack and despite me still buying and using PS brand I haven't put my credit card info on there network since. I use gift cards instead (something I don't do on XBL or Nintendo Store).
Not trying to shit on you but Microsoft and Nintendo are lucky not smart. Something like this COULD happen to them. It likely won't but still, trusting ANY company to protect you is foolhardy.
I love these historical features. I had an X360 at the time, and even though I really wanted to get a PS3 in order to play games like Infamous 2 and Uncharted 3: Drake's Deception, all of the news about the hack made me thank my lucky stars that I was watching from the sidelines and didn't get caught up in that mess.
I remember the Lizard Squad DDOS attack on Christmas of 2014. I bought a brand new PS4 and a bunch of games for my children. We plugged in the system tried to create accounts and then BAM no connectivity. We were stuck playing non day 1 patched versions of games like Little Big Planet 3 which was unbelieveably buggy and unplayable. My children cried and their Christmas was nearly ruined. PSN servers were down for almost a week when that happened.
I can’t even access my account today for some reason it signed me out overnight and I’m using my exact password but it isn’t working, seriously; I fucking hate Sony
This always felt like a castle of sand: the bedrock of PSN was not solid and they paid for it, literally. It's sad to watch, and PSN still stumbles to this day. Great vid Colin
Wow, nearly 10 years ago now. I remember going on IGN a lot during this time while they were still in thier prime. lol, the comment section during this was a warzone.
I clearly remember the outage. A friend and I desperately wanted to play the Portal 2 co-op online, but had to wait, wait, wait!! I had forgotten about the "Welcome Back" package, though. That is how I first played Super Stardust and Dead Nation! A couple of classics.
I kind of wonder what impact it had on the partnership that was starting between Valve and Sony. Right before this happened, they had released the Portal 2 that actually used Steam logins on playstation for the multiplayer, and some people thought this was going to lead to more integration between steam and PSN in general.
I remember being excited as a 16 year old getting Infamous for free, but then I remember the hack being reported on the news in Ireland, that is when I knew this was not something to be taken lightly.
Happy you did and episode on this Colin, as much as playstation is your focus and the hottest thing right now it's good go remember and discuss its issues, this being one of the biggest most humiliating and outright disastrous for any company, gaming or not. Yet people still trust Sony unwillingly.
Think you missed PlayOnline which came with PS2 hard drive and Final Fantasy XI. This was PSN before PSN, could send and receive e mails.. and would boot into online before booting game.
Ah. I remember that event clearly. I remember I wanted to play the new Mortal Kombat online with my friends only to realize PSN was down. I thought my internet was acting stupid since I used to have AT&T.
While the video is unquestionably accurate you keep mentioning issues with the current PS4 PSN which I have not experienced whatsoever. It runs fairly fast on my end, even on Vita, and doesn’t look connection at all. Occasionally a download may be slow but it is usually older, large games that seemingly have received a lower bandwidth priority due to reduced popularity.
I remember the shit-talking like it was yesterday. "Kratos is exclusive to the PlayStation version of MK9. Online play is exclusive to the Xbox version."
As much as I rag on Nintendo's online for the lack of modern features and how barebones it feels, the Switch, have faster download speeds, when the online goes down its only for scheduled maintenance, and it's had free name changes since launch. Now, if only Nintendo's online had the ability to send messages to friends, cross game voice chat, and achievements.....
I think the psn constantly crashing problem is an isolated one. I never encountered this problem and my friends never heard of it too. Maybe it is a US PSN server problem with high volume of users. I live in asia so that might have something to do with it or the fact that i am using a ps4 pro. Either way my experience with the ps store is good.
I remember all this and also had Linux installed on my ps3, that was an awesome feature. Tried playing DOS games on it, I think I succeeded with a few if I remember correctly. Also I remember getting littlebig planet for free after the security breach, they offered a free game to anyone who was affected
Wonder if anyone else was lucky enough to have had two PSN accounts when this happened. They were able to get more free games because of the welcome back offer.
my story with the hack is kind of interesting... I was never really a gamer, i only ever played online games like cod. I owned games like Uncharted and Killzone which i got free with the ps3 that i had for ages, but i never touched them. But when the hack happened i had nothing to do in my downtime so i tried uncharted.... and i couldnt believe how good it was. I went out and got uncharted 2 right away haha. I really love story based games now and its probably thanks to that hack
Im trying to imagine how Sony would handle this if it were to happen today. I feel like they had people that represented playstation a lot better at the time like Jack Tretton. I feel like he came out and did what he had to do that e3. Would they do a state of play that had a random voice mention the hack in the middle of game trailers if it happend today? I feel like Sony was fighting hard to get the customers back and that hack came right in the middle of that. I think I'm going to go watch the 2011 E3 conference.
The biggest embarrassment in gaming history for the greediest anti-consumer company in gaming. Looking forward to the beginning of the end for Playstation this next console generation. Would be a true victory for all gamers.
I am pretty sure that killed DC universe online. It started the day it came out and went on for 2 months,and by the time psn was back up DCU online was f2p.
rebug was true. You could download free games from sp-int and qa servers. People had being doing it for years using fake debug console converts (I have one that was converted after the hack).... Sony did not protect it’s internal sp-int servers at all and you could download debug updates as well as game this was all fixed during the great psn outage. The Metldr key released by geohot was not the master key, after the key was published Sony put all the loaders into lv0, the lv0 key wasn’t obtained until years after.
The best takeaway from the situation was KELLAAAAAYYYYY
Lol yes! 😂😂
Tugboats were running at full steam
Lol what is this referencing?
S.S. Moriarty. “Toot-toot”

More of these historical video game pieces please. They are excellent

Colin may be an average fighter. But he's a lame anime referencer.
These are great, Sophia, keep it up!
Imma super sain the shit outta his shoulders
I dig it. Excited to see what else you put together!
Good stuff.
That Beyond episode after the servers went back up is goat
Zack which number podcast was this?
@@KingSapphire2012 it's in the 100's somewhere. Sorry it's been years.
@@ZarkWiffle anyone know the number? Love to see it
@@moneyballs5678pg
Found it!
Episode 188
Regularly scheduled Side Quest episodes has me happier than Colin on Vita Island surrounded by restaurants he can order from without leaving his couch.
These are quickly becoming one of my favorite video types of the channel. Ty Colin and Ty Sophia :) for all your work on these :).
Michael Coffey who is Sophia? I know she’s co-writer on the episode, but beyond that what’s her relationship to Colin?
@@JaredTequila purely business not been told otherwise he scripts and speaks she edits and crafts it up. (from my understanding)
Michael Coffey ok, thank you 😊
"Hi, this is Kelly... AWHAAAA??!!"
"you... you sound.. sweet"
where is this from?
Thank you. 😉👉🏼
@@shadowmane55 An episode of Podcast Beyond called "PSN LIVES."
@@NFLDude56 ok thanks
Great video! Colin and Sophia, beyond days when this was going down haha love y'all
I remember this like it was yesterday. One of the worst moments in the history of gaming. I've never trusted Sony again. Great video as always
Side Quest has certainly gotten more robust! Excellent video!
KELLAAAAAYYYY
UWAAAAAT? lol on of the best episodes. Great history on this cataclysmic event.
Do you use prepaid cards or have you gone back to using your card?
I swear at the time the outage felt like 3 months, not 3 weeks. Checking news sites/twitter everyday for the latest update.
14:38 made me realize how much I miss seeing Jack Tretton on Sony's stage. Great public speaker and classy dude.
What a month or so that was. I remember the day everything finally got switched back on.

I love that game as well, and i usually hate super hero movies and games.
No one :
Girlfriend calling in : AWWWAAAAAAHT???
What a throwback
What solid video descriptions CLS has man........
Damn. I love this. No one ever talks about this kind of stuff, this is super cool.
Awesome job Colin!
Great video, love this documentary style. Wouldn’t mind a much longer video to be honest.
Really great video! Awesome writing Sophia!

@@maxpar6764 Exactly, i use pre-paid for every thing i can.
I love your gaming history videos, it’s a great fit for you! Good shit Moriarty!
Great video! I remember this situation vividly. So crazy.
I love these historical features. I had an X360 at the time, and even though I really wanted to get a PS3 in order to play games like Infamous 2 and Uncharted 3: Drake's Deception, all of the news about the hack made me thank my lucky stars that I was watching from the sidelines and didn't get caught up in that mess.
I remember when this happened. I later went on to study this in my Cyber Security class in college. Kinda a big deal
To this day, I still listen to the podcast Beyond! episode from time to time where you, Colin, and that other guy, call the audience! "Ahh-whaaa!!??"
I remember the Lizard Squad DDOS attack on Christmas of 2014. I bought a brand new PS4 and a bunch of games for my children. We plugged in the system tried to create accounts and then BAM no connectivity. We were stuck playing non day 1 patched versions of games like Little Big Planet 3 which was unbelieveably buggy and unplayable. My children cried and their Christmas was nearly ruined.

Your thumbnail game is on point Colin.
From worshipping Sacred Symbols to murdering sacred cows, your objectivity knows no bounds Mr. Moriarty.
I can’t even access my account today for some reason it signed me out overnight and I’m using my exact password but it isn’t working, seriously; I fucking hate Sony
These videos are so good, Colin. Thanks for the great history lesson! Hopefully this type of attack never happens again.
Great video, Colin. As a spiritual sequel, I’d love a brief oral history of the Lizard Squad Christmas DDoS of 2014...
Great video, thank you Sophia and Colin.
This hack got me out of gaming for a few years. I was huge into online games at the time. Great video, Colin!
Great vid Colin!!
Wonderful work yet again
Love what you do, brother! Keep up the amazing work!
❤️ these retrospectives/histories, very entertaining
This always felt like a castle of sand: the bedrock of PSN was not solid and they paid for it, literally. It's sad to watch, and PSN still stumbles to this day. Great vid Colin
Ready to sit back, relax, and enjoy the might, the majesty, the wonder that is... Mr Colin Moriarty 😄
I wish there was still a podcast beyond
I grabbed the last PlayStation Home trophy a few weeks before it closed down.
Wow, nearly 10 years ago now. I remember going on IGN a lot during this time while they were still in thier prime. lol, the comment section during this was a warzone.
I clearly remember the outage. A friend and I desperately wanted to play the Portal 2 co-op online, but had to wait, wait, wait!! I had forgotten about the "Welcome Back" package, though. That is how I first played Super Stardust and Dead Nation! A couple of classics.
Colin that was excellent. Bravo Sir.
That Creeping In meme at the end is STILL SO FUCKING GOOD ahahahaha
God i remember when this happened. Such a pain in the ass. PSN was never the same after that. Great vid Colin.
I kind of wonder what impact it had on the partnership that was starting between Valve and Sony. Right before this happened, they had released the Portal 2 that actually used Steam logins on playstation for the multiplayer, and some people thought this was going to lead to more integration between steam and PSN in general.

Two factor “authentification”?? Think he mixed that up with verification! but you’re still the best Colin! 😆
Think you missed PlayOnline which came with PS2 hard drive and Final Fantasy XI. This was PSN before PSN, could send and receive e mails.. and would boot into online before booting game.
Ah. I remember that event clearly. I remember I wanted to play the new Mortal Kombat online with my friends only to realize PSN was down. I thought my internet was acting stupid since I used to have AT&T.
Blaze it lol. Great vid as usual.

It runs fairly fast on my end, even on Vita, and doesn’t look connection at all. Occasionally a download may be slow but it is usually older, large games that seemingly have received a lower bandwidth priority due to reduced popularity.
I totally forgot this was a thing. I remember still being able to use Netflix, but my friends couldn't.
I got my PS3 the following Christmas. I guess, for my sake, the initial $599 price tag was a blessing in disguise.
I remember the shit-talking like it was yesterday. "Kratos is exclusive to the PlayStation version of MK9. Online play is exclusive to the Xbox version."
And it was all worth it to get that special episode of Beyond.
"authentification". Colin, don't change
Is this happening right now
wow i completely forgot how actually recent the outage occurred it was only 2-3 years before PS4
Do the xbox 360 red ring of death disaster next!
This would make for a great video.
7:07 'Conspiracy-Mode'?
I was Co-Administrator at psx-scene.com at that time and can confirm that this DID HAPPEN and WAS PART OF it going down!
As much as I rag on Nintendo's online for the lack of modern features and how barebones it feels, the Switch, have faster download speeds, when the online goes down its only for scheduled maintenance, and it's had free name changes since launch. Now, if only Nintendo's online had the ability to send messages to friends, cross game voice chat, and achievements.....
It's fucking weird that like a few days ago I was literally searching for your podcast beyond coverage of this fiasco, the good ole days
I am new to this channel can you link me to that video if you have found it?
Great video! I hope Carlos Maza doesn’t come after CLS. :-/
George hotz is an interesting cat; right now he is developing open source automated driving software
4:20 blaze it
My favorite era of Beyond!
wtf I love CLS Prime now
I got a check for $20 from that class action lawsuit a few months ago.
did you just call Timesplitters WEAK? do you want to get swatted or something?
I was there for the Leap Year debacle and for the PS3pocolypse. Not good times.
Also, Playstation Home was awesome. I sure do miss it.
I enjoyed ps home. Made a few friends through it and we are still online with each other to this day on ps4
Colin what about a Vita retrospective? That console will become history soon enough...
I think the psn constantly crashing problem is an isolated one. I never encountered this problem and my friends never heard of it too. Maybe it is a US PSN server problem with high volume of users. I live in asia so that might have something to do with it or the fact that i am using a ps4 pro. Either way my experience with the ps store is good.

I remember that well. I miss SOCOM...
“Noting to see here”
Wonder if anyone else was lucky enough to have had two PSN accounts when this happened. They were able to get more free games because of the welcome back offer.
And the region lock for paying for games
Great story. I remember stressing out My information got stolen
Mystic did a great job on this a few months ago. Your take is another great angle on the subject.
my story with the hack is kind of interesting... I was never really a gamer, i only ever played online games like cod. I owned games like Uncharted and Killzone which i got free with the ps3 that i had for ages, but i never touched them.

I really love story based games now and its probably thanks to that hack
I bought my PS3 a week before the outage.
Not too bad of timing considering we got a couple of free games to choose from after the fiasco
I remember when this happened ma and my brother were really looking forward to playing mk 9 online when the servers went down
Im trying to imagine how Sony would handle this if it were to happen today. I feel like they had people that represented playstation a lot better at the time like Jack Tretton.

PSN itself is fine. The store on PS4 sucks.
12:26 WATCH DOGS: LEGION
Please keep doing videos like this and konami
The biggest embarrassment in gaming history for the greediest anti-consumer company in gaming. Looking forward to the beginning of the end for Playstation this next console generation. Would be a true victory for all gamers.
The funny thing is... it was my xbox account that was hacked and I lost £200. Took months to get Microsoft to refund me.
Ah whah?!
Tweet and share this video so more people see it, it helps with the TH-cam algorithm!
Those were dark days.
I am pretty sure that killed DC universe online. It started the day it came out and went on for 2 months,and by the time psn was back up DCU online was f2p.
Nvm that was a later attack,still something I never hear people talk about
