The final Saturday Morning Stream of 2014 is now live — on Sunday night. I promised one last hurrah and here it is — watch me play Omikron: The Nomad Soul, the 1999 classic from Quantic Dream, back when their games had real controls. Instead of making a big deal about it, just hit up my Twitch channel to watch.

I’ve often enjoyed them as a nice little pre-game touch, so it’s awesome to see NeoGAF user Oni Link 666 rip out some Wii U game loading screens and dump them for use as wallpapers.

The Xbox Live Status page currently indicates some users having issues logging into Xbox Live on the Xbox One. A problem involving being unable to launch certain games has recently been resolved. No word on whether these current issues are related to the ones which brought the servers down on Christmas Day . Everything seems to be working fine on our end.

UPDATE — 3:54 PST
Still no word on when to expect PSN services to resume, though both users and some GameSpot staff have had random luck in both getting online and connected to some games.
According to Sony, “No ETA available yet, but our Team is working to fix it as soon as possible, thank you for your patience.”
UPDATE: The PlayStation support twitter account has begun issuing updates, telling individual users, “Our engineers are continuing to work hard to resolve the network issues users are experiencing. Thank you for your patience.”
However, when will PSN be back online? Sony says, “No ETA available yet, but our Team is working hard to fix it as soon as possible. Thank you for your patience.”
@DilanRodrigue20 No ETA available yet, but our Team is working hard to fix it as soon as possible. Thank you for your patience.

The original story appears below.
Following network outtages for the PlayStation Network that started on Christmas Eve, and which extended on Christmas day to both PSN and Xbox Live, Sony’s online gaming infrastructure remains offline today.
The Xbox Live status page currently lists all core services for Xbox 360 and Xbox One as “up and running,” though access to apps for MLG.tv, Maxim, and IGN are “limited.”
PlayStation Network, meanwhile, is completely offline according to its status site (and verified by the fact that I can’t log in online). Sony has not issued an official word yet on the cause of the attacks or when it expects online services to be operational again. We’ll update this story with further details as they’re made available.

Rockstar Games is extending Grand Theft Auto V‘s Christmas update because of the recent PlayStation Network and Xbox Live service issues, the developer has announced.
“Due to issues with PSN & XBL connectivity, we’re extending the GTA Online Festive Surprise Christmas Day inventory gifts for the time being,” Rockstar said via its official Twitter account. The developer didn’t say until when its extending the holiday-themed update, so its safe to assume it’ll be available until further notice.
Sony’s PlayStation Network and Microsoft’s Xbox Live were down starting on Christmas Eve, due to an apparent denial-of-service (DDoS) attack by the same group that claimed responsibility for grounding Sony Online Entertainment President John Smedley’s flight back in August and other DDoS attacks.
Xbox Live services were restored earlier today, but PlayStation Network is still inaccessible to many players, sadly preventing many of those who got PlayStation 4s this Christmas from playing their new consoles.
Check GameSpot’s ongoing coverage of PlayStation Network’s status for the latest updates.
GTA Online’s holiday-themed additions includes snowball fights, ugly Christmas sweaters, cookie-face masks, and lots more.
