Owners of Sony and Microsoft’s PlayStation and Xbox gaming consoles are reporting problems with connecting to their respective online services, the PlayStation Network and Xbox Live. At the time of this writing, Sony says its network is “intermittently available” due to high volume, which may be tied to the start of a beta period for the upcoming Bungie-Activision shooter Destiny. The beta doesn’t start for a few more days on Xbox, however, and Microsoft says its video and music stores are also experiencing some connectivity problems.
