I heard from a cousin that works for SCEA that the servers were down because there were more than 20 million accounts active in the server. They were not expecting so much traffic this soon and the servers crashed. I guess the b-day glitch won't be fixed but thanks to people abusing it the servers went down. If one gamer created more than 20 accounts to gift cars that cant be good. I created five accounts and got like 50 cars.
Its been off at least 14 hours. The worst part about it for me is that I have a car in online mode that I need for my A and B-spec and I cant use it b cuz I cant take it offline!
