No - PSN down to anonymous DDoS attacks
As title. Confirmed that The Xbox loving American hackers are responsible for the PSN DDoS attacks.
Microsoft must be loving it, they seem to be using it as a PR stunt to promote XboxLive (conveniently forgetting their past 14 day Xmas outage).

“That being said, we are expecting Microsoft’s robust online network to see an increase of traffic from those gamers who own both systems. Being able to play their games via the Xbox LIVE network could make all the difference for some gamers, and the Xbox Nations event will allow all of them to do just that – whether they have a Gold subscription or not.”
Seems Microsoft have forgotten about their 14 days of Xbox Live outage, and I don't recal Sony using it as a cheap PR stunt....
