I was completely unaffected by the PSN outage. I'm not a Sony fan. I don't even own a PS3. I just clicked this link to listen to Kazuo Harai's flawless accent. Good on everyone that people can play their games online again.
Thanks for working your butts off guys. Sony will always be my favorite (over microsoft), but overall I can expect no-more from Sony, as I feel you guys have done everything possible for the gamer. thanks again
@SomeTotalRandom The new mappack for black ops was so FUN when it came out, I have found all the secrets and I have been working on the achievements too. It sure has been fun playing that ONLINE the last few weeks. What did you think?
Here in UK it was working earlier and I tried to log in about 15 mins ago and was greeted with the "PSN is currently undergoing maintenance" message. :( I then checked the blog website and it has the PSN status as "On"? Something is clearly not adding up here...
All of those objects on his desk were intentionality placed exactly were they are by Human Resources in order to relate and get the most comfortable response from the audience.This is a cooperation, they pay people to do these little things, and we pay nothing for such a great PSN service. So I would like to say: Thank You for the information, and working hard to protects us further.
Is PSN EU once again "down"?I just woke up and everytime when I try to play online I get disconnected no matter in what game.I am able to sign up though,but I can't play online right now.Does anyone else got this issues at the moment?
In Holland we went online at 21.00 about 3 1/2 hours ago. It takes a long time to logon after you change the password. I rebooted the system after since it took so long. But now it seems to work ok. Hope the rest of you will be fine soon. I still think we deserve some compensation. Like store credit or something.
@timmy0115 I didn't know but am not surprised. "Windows" isn't called "Windows" for nothing. If it was secure it was called "Walls" they should have their very own protocol actually. But I guess cheap is the way to go in Japan.
This was awesome, I love the way Sony shares this. I'm an xbox 360 gamer! But since i'm paying for xbl i think we won't get any attacks, since we are one of the biggest companies ;) but i love the psn. I love how Hirai gives 2 of 4 free games to the psn, and thats awesome. Now Gamers Let the playing begin!
You gotta have respect for the man... he sounds English, doesn't wear a tie to work... keeps his bitches on the line.. and best of all wears a watch on his left wrist.. LIKE A BOSS!
@cemk1983 agreed, yea it's pretty incredible as to how a company as reputable as Sony got hacked, but they handled it well by shutting the entire network down and rebuilding it from scratch.
Still no email over34hours Soon 35hours and if at some point do get the email will I get the same days of PSN plus as everyone else and the Free games?
Good job by SONY not jumping to get the network back up prematurely. Futhermore to provide its customers with these packages really shows what kind of company they are - doing what they can to smooth things over. Thanks SONY,
You are thinking of Yuan (元), Jiao (角), and Fen (分): 1 Yuan = 10 Jiao = 100 Fen. Which are Chinese units for the Renminbi which is the Chinese currency
@thatoldschoolgamer that is not going to happen...just think about it..LA Noire is owned by Rockstar, not Sony...the best thing they can do is give you some benefit on PS Store or something.
"My name is Kasuo Hirai, and I'd like to share with you a game that's powered by Namco.. .it's Ridge Racer! RIIIIIIIIDGE RAAAAAACERRRRRRRRRR! Remember that one?!"
@eXtremeBlackOps no , someone said it was codenameryan and the anonymous group gave his address and phone number to the FBI or who was incharge of security for the breach
an annoucement as important and long awaited as that needs to be rehearsed enough to be able to be filmed in ONE take. so many cuts means this guy has no communication confidence and demonstrates lack of real leadership. he'll be gone at the next AGM. shameful state of affairs.
@12345faiyaz You don't need to enter your old pass. When it was up .... (for a couple of hours in Europe and some 12 hours in US) you could enter the NEW password and confirm the NEW password.
@ThatAnnoyingGamerGuy obviously he is reading from a script, doesn't mean he didn't write it or doesn't mean it. i don't expect him to remember all of that or just speak off the top of his head.
"we will do everything we can to regain you trust and confidence"
sony never lost my trust and confidence.
This was a crazy time man... 10 years ago wow
*13 years ago
Such a relaxing song, I've also been searching everywhere.
Once again the YT algorithm brings us all together. This message was a good one.
Yes
I was completely unaffected by the PSN outage. I'm not a Sony fan. I don't even own a PS3. I just clicked this link to listen to Kazuo Harai's flawless accent.
Good on everyone that people can play their games online again.
Surprised how well thought out this announcement.
Loving the music.
WOOOOO been waiting for that much awaited security feature! It only changes passwords.
Deployed in 'phasers'? Kaz, every time man.. :D Glad things are on the mend - stay frosty!
@WS141 Listen again. At 1:25, he says "or through validated email confirmation." That means you used the alternate method if you did it from work.
What can I say, it's been emotional.
i love kaz
This guy would get all the ladies..seriously he's got this charisma about him!
Thanks for working your butts off guys. Sony will always be my favorite (over microsoft), but overall I can expect no-more from Sony, as I feel you guys have done everything possible for the gamer. thanks again

What did you think?
24days was the hardest experience in my lifetime. I feel that I lost half my brain cells for those 24days. Now I'm slowly gaining them back.
@shdowclaw77 But will it get the 3rd party support? We'll have to wait to find out.
this guy seems like such a chill dude... i dont even care that psn was down for 25 days anymore!
thanks Mr. Hirai,
I appreciate you !
@rahza19 Yo so what games did you get for the credits? are there any good ones?
Thank you for getting it back up.
You will see in few years huge companies will rule this world, and this video is like your daily news from your new gods :)
@jb0Ogi3 u do know that xbox live gets hacked regularly and microsoft keep it quiet right?
first of all: HERE'S THIS GIANT ENEMY CRAB!
"First of all, I would like to say I recently learned English through this amazing woman named Rosetta Stone's program. Secondly..."
Im in the UK and I can sign in fine.. playstation store is still down though. when are we getting the free games?
Here in UK it was working earlier and I tried to log in about 15 mins ago and was greeted with the "PSN is currently undergoing maintenance" message. :(
I then checked the blog website and it has the PSN status as "On"?
Something is clearly not adding up here...
@crywolf30 the chair has no reflection what so ever in the video as the chair is directly next to it.
You're the man Kaz, You're the man!
Is that a flask on his desk?
All of those objects on his desk were intentionality placed exactly were they are by Human Resources in order to relate and get the most comfortable response from the audience.This is a cooperation, they pay people to do these little things, and we pay nothing for such a great PSN service.

@thatoldschoolgamer lol did you read the video? the apps that got launched?
If anyone knows the music In the background, I would appreciate it if you told me....

@residentzombie what about the crappy games you bought now worth the price?
Advanced Security Technology?
Increased levels of Encryption?
Additional Firewalls?
Early Warning Systems?
So they've basically installed Norton 360 Pro.
I like his hand movement. Everyone who hasn't played inFamous should get it.
Damn, his voice is boss! I seriously wasn't expecting that.
@Subaru537 xbox live was down? when?
Well done addressed all major concerns
Loving the view out his window, obvoiusly he didn't loose any pay over this breach.
For aus servers it could be back on around 11:30 am but I'm not sure I heard it somewhere but I hope it is
omg when i saw 0:09 i just started remembering of all the great times i had with the ps1
I love the neatly placed mouse and sunglasses xD.
Thank you kazuo

Let the playing begin!
事故が起こった後、会社がどのように対処したか、世界に発信するという当たり前の事を、これだけきちんとやれるトップは、なかなかいない、ましてや、日本人幹部なら皆無に近い。彼がソニーを再生したのは、このような説明力と発信力！それをさらっとこなせる英語力！皆の意見を聞いて、ネガティブなものにこそ、ヒントを見出す力。
They left out the last scene where he karate chops the camera right in half (which is why it could not be recorded)
It's back up in Australia but when do we get welcome back package
@Kenjineering you made the right move man. Do not regret your self man! Stick it to be companies good job!
You gotta have respect for the man... he sounds English, doesn't wear a tie to work... keeps his bitches on the line.. and best of all wears a watch on his left wrist.. LIKE A BOSS!
@brunnerrestart Hast du den update 3.61?
@Labratoria Im so glad someone caught that
@cemk1983 agreed, yea it's pretty incredible as to how a company as reputable as Sony got hacked, but they handled it well by shutting the entire network down and rebuilding it from scratch.
I was trying to sgin in but it won't let me. it says about sony entrainment undergoing???
im loving the hand movements!
Welcome! I´m Doctor Marvin Candle and this is the orientation film for PSN of the SONY Initiative.
@rccppt you prefer red lights?
@M4dM4nMurri4121 yup i definantly remember xbox being down for almost a month, hows ur credit card btw? stolen?
Still down in Australia waiting quietly hoping it will even let me change my password but no luck yet to many people doing the same thing,,
What a delightful fellow almost makes me not give a toss a about the whole thing.
wow Hirai has a pretty soothing voice
Whats the music in the background?
Still no email over34hours Soon 35hours and if at some point do get the email will I get the same days of PSN plus as everyone else and the Free games?
@UnicornPunch Its actually 24 days and they should have not been hacked, since the first time and I'm guessing there will be a 3rd time
When will the PSN on Media Go will work again?
@jackrandall you wouldnt know what they are cause they dont involve aiming down the sights witch is all you know how to do
Kazuo is a DILF.
Good job by SONY not jumping to get the network back up prematurely. Futhermore to provide its customers with these packages really shows what kind of company they are - doing what they can to smooth things over.
Thanks SONY,

@thatoldschoolgamer that is not going to happen...just think about it..LA Noire is owned by Rockstar, not Sony...the best thing they can do is give you some benefit on PS Store or something.
i don't know why ? but i lol'd every time i hear "we've been working around the clock"
Sony forever.. well untill the next time.. Thank you... so much for keeping us so well informed. You need to upgrade your public affairs office.
"My name is Kasuo Hirai, and I'd like to share with you a game that's powered by Namco.. .it's Ridge Racer! RIIIIIIIIDGE RAAAAAACERRRRRRRRRR! Remember that one?!"
Good man yourself for standing up for yourself and apologizing for service break down
When can we use the Welcome Back program?
What's in the welcome back package for the USA?
Monday will be a nice day to play online. Sunday at night is complicated...
I don't have a ps3 and don't even care about the network but I must say this was well done.
wow ... i received the email but cant change my pw? it tells me that i will receive an email? wtf
i dont have a playstation or anything but i still watched the whole thing
Kazuo Hirai for president
@eXtremeBlackOps no , someone said it was codenameryan and the anonymous group gave his address and phone number to the FBI or who was incharge of security for the breach
an annoucement as important and long awaited as that needs to be rehearsed enough to be able to be filmed in ONE take. so many cuts means this guy has no communication confidence and demonstrates lack of real leadership. he'll be gone at the next AGM. shameful state of affairs.
HOW CAN I CONTACT SONY PS3 IF I CANT SIGN IN TO MY ACCOUNT BECAUSE OF SOME EMAIL PROBLEM?
Someone please help me. Should I choose Little Big Planet or Wipeout HD.
4:49 - damn, i miss the old logo!
When will it be back for Australia?
Whats included in their "welcome back" package?
@12345faiyaz You don't need to enter your old pass. When it was up .... (for a couple of hours in Europe and some 12 hours in US) you could enter the NEW password and confirm the NEW password.
can somebody plz tell when the playstation store will be back up? thanx in advance ^^
I found watching the traffic lights in the bottom right corner more interesting than this video
Still down here in Malaysia,Singapore,and Indonesia....
@ThatAnnoyingGamerGuy obviously he is reading from a script, doesn't mean he didn't write it or doesn't mean it. i don't expect him to remember all of that or just speak off the top of his head.
I bet no one has tried looking at whats on th picture throught the reflection on the window
"additional firewalls" when they didn't have a firewall to begin with
Kazuo Hirai,,you are successfull man,,,, thanks for yur hard work,,
Thank you for returning PSN!
Now we need PlayStation Store.
