After Sony had been investigating the issue on the Play Station Network being down for a couple of days, they have finally admitted that is was an outside party or a single hacker creating these huge issues. Who ever it is suceeded in bringing down Sony for a Full 2+ days. Here are a few quotes from The PS Blog: PS Blogs
Many think that the group of Black Hats known as 'Anonymous' may be behind these attacks but they have denied these thought on their official site saying "For once we did not do it" If it is not anonymous then the group or person must have alot of drive to take down a large corporation such as Sony.

Sony’s Playstation Network, its online service for Playstation 3 and its Playstation Portable consoles, suffered from a major outage today; which is on going as of this writting. According to Son’ys blog, the interruption in service may last into the long weekend – for at least another “full day or two”. Sony released a statement through its EU blog, saying that the network outage may be a result of “targeted behaviour by an outside party”, brining in the possibility of cyberattacks. Adding to the confusion is the fact that the message has since been removed.
While it could be the case that other Anons have acted by themselves AnonOps wa not related to this incident and takes no responsiblity for it. A more likely explination is that Sony is taking advantage of Anonymous’ previous ill-will towards the company to distract users from the fact the outage is accutally an internal problem with the companies servers.

The next step is to find out who is creating this havoc.
