Business Insider ^ | 12/25/2014 | Dave Smith

Hackers don't take a holiday, it seems. Hours after Microsoft’s Xbox Live went down Wednesday, Sony’s PlayStation Network went down, too.

These are two giant networks that console gamers access to play their games online. It's especially bad timing since a lot of people are probably getting new PlayStations and Xboxes for Christmas.

I have to grill dinner (Steak Tips and Cornell Chicken) and somehow get rid of a cooler of beer leftover from our annual Dec 23rd party (Bud Select, Amstel Light and Red Stripe).

The games are fun.

My Xbox live wouldn’t log me on at first around 5:30 pm but let me on shortly after. I spent about 10 minutes browsing the store before logging off. Seemed to be fine.

Yea,but the nice thing with Steam is most of the games are playable in offline mode, no internet needed. Just the multiplayer parts require internet. But yea, I do have my N64 and it’s the best for party games or entertaining little kids :)

Steam is up.

Was just looking for Steam's status ... THANKS! My kids are PC Gamers -- gave up the inferior XBOX platform two years ago and haven't looked back. The graphics are SUPERIOR compared to XBOX or PlayStation ...

Yea, that website’s useful to know if connection issues are on your end on Steam’s. But graphics are all dependent on the game, different developers have different standards they use. Steam is much better overall, better variety and PC games are easier to play. And if you’re having a party, the N64 wins for party games anyway.
