The Sony Network currently has more than 70 million registered users, many of whom have taken to Twitter and other social networks to express their frustration over the prolonged downtime. Millions of unhappy gamers (and Netflix customers) a PlayStation outage makes.Not to mention, the outage comes on the same day that Amazon's cloud-based web services crashed, taking Reddit, Foursquare, and Quora (among others) with them.
