Eight Things To Do While The PlayStation Network Is Down (PHOTOS)

Sony finally admitted on Saturday that their PlayStation Network was hacked. "An external intrusion," was the company's official explanation on day three of the outage, which has affected over 70 million users in North America and Europe.

On day five, today, we're still wondering when the network will return to normal. While we're waiting, we thought we'd give you some ideas on what to do while the network is being repaired.

1. Go Outside.

See that glowing orange ball of fire in the sky? That's called the Sun. Go outside and re-introduce yourself to it. This is what we did when we found out on Thursday that the network was down. Sun didn't touch our skin till Sunday afternoon, though. We spent a few days in front of our flatscreen with our hands death gripping our controller hoping that error message would magically go away.
