PSV Playstation Vita TV - Import Update

NCS Product Synopsis  

   Due to information received by our Japanese vendors, please note that our shipments of the Playstation Vita TV were held yesterday until they could verify that USA/EU physical game cards work on the systems. Rather than go through an expensive international shipping and consequent return process back to Japan, we agreed with the delay in shipments from overseas. Once they are able to test and verify that USA/EU game cards do indeed work, they will release the shipments to us for delivery early next week. Please wait for further details but one customer who lives in Japan reported that he was able to play USA game cards on the Vita TV but we wanted verification from a supplier. It's not that we don't trust the veracity of his words but international overnight shipping is expensive.

   Please note that it has already been verified that only Japanese Playstation Network accounts may be accessed through the current firmware on the Playstation Vita TV. If you only have a USA/EU Playstation Network account, you will not be able to access your account on the Vita TV as of this time with the installed firmware. View the compatible Japanese game list.

Datacenter update

We're going to move the server once it gets up again. Unacceptable.

For customers at our New York hosting center at 33 Whitehall: We have lost power again at the hosting center. A possible fuel contamination is suspected as the cause of the failure to both our primary and secondary generators. The fuel tanks need to be drained and refilled with new fuel.  We continue to work with the generator contractor to restore service.  Due to the nature of the problem there is no estimated time to repair. There is no access to 33 Whitehall at this time. Once power is restored, if you need to have your server rebooted, please send a request to support@cogentco.com with a subject of "33 Whitehall Reboot Request".

Datacenter fuel contamination update

The latest update from our datacenter:

For customers at our New York hosting center at 33 Whitehall: We have partially restored power to some of the areas at the hosting center. Some customers still remaint down as of 11:30PM. A possible fuel contamination is suspected as the cause of the failure to both our primary and secondary generators. Final load tests are currently being conducted before bringing the remaining customers back online. We continue to work with the generator contractor to restore service. Due to the nature of the problem there is no estimated time to repair. There is no access to 33 Whitehall at this time. Once power is restored, if you need to have your server rebooted, please send a request to support@cogentco.com with a subject of "33 Whitehall Reboot Request".

Generator power running in datacenter

The building that our datacenter is located in is currently running on generator power so our site at www.ncsx.com should be back up later today or Tuesday if there are any exigent issues. The lobby of the building doesn't look too bad considering that there was about 8 feet of water coursing through it last Monday night. A site redesign will be implemented in December 2012 for quicker updates that will be posted throughout the day.

Datacenter back up by 7PM today?

Con Edison won't be restoring power to the colocation center in lower Manhattan today but a diesel-powered generator will be functional and online later tonight. This means all of the servers should get power and we should be back online at www.ncsx.com tonight. This is the latest update that we have and in the meantime, we've been working on changing the format of the site for daily updates but we'll keep the old archives from 1995 and thereabouts online for perusal.
