Sony Announces PlayStation Store's Triumphant Return

[GeorgW]

Aw man, I thought you were gonna say it was back now
I just have a horrible feeling that they'll be hacked June 3rd.

 

[Innegativeion]

Finally. Been bored outta my skull lately and a free Infamous / Wipeout HD combo is just what I need.

 

[AMX58]

wow took them long enough thank ya the PS hevans yeah i said lets get it straight

 

[rembrandtqeinstein]

guess people are gluttons for punishment, not sure how anyone can trust sony with their information now

 

[TimeLord]

Not online in the UK yet

Not online in the UK yet

Someone didn't read the article...

I guess it's good that they're ready to bring it back. Bad that they haven't got it up by today like they said they would, but not really a surprise. I'll look forward to Saturday's message saying "it'll be up some time in the week of June 5th-11th".

I play Xbox, so this news barely even registers with me.

I want to kill you but I also want to high five you, what do?

OT: huh what's that? I'm too busy with my xbox live to notice... Not that I buy anything but demos galore

man you're losing your touch! I mean can you have at least made it sound less forced?


OT: Infamous and Wipeout HD will finally be mine! and the money card I've kept since Easter waiting to buy Rayman will finally be used.

 

[Brian Hendershot]

Shame I won't have access to my PS3 for exactly thirty days as of the fourth..

Apparently LulzSec has already hacked them again and claims they're going to bring about the end of Sony though I think that's just a threat attempting to bring the share price down. They can't possibly take down the whole company but if they mire psn long enough and ensure the monkeys who provide support for the ps3/psp only work on anti-hack firmware (apparently not too hard from what we've seen happen to the current psp) they can definitely kill the playstation brand.

I might finally log back on to get a couple of free psp games and the one ps3 game on the list I don't have but I've been playing a lot of 1p games so I haven't even downloaded the update yet.

 

[deserteagleeye]

Finally, something good to start off my summer!

 

[Sniper Team 4]

Shazam! I can finally get all my DLC back. My PS3 broke during this whole thing, so my new one has NONE of the DLC stuff. No Dragon Age: Origins, Dragon Age 2, Record of Agarest War, X-men, MvC 2, Dead Space 2...the list goes on. I'm going to probably be downloading stuff for a week.

Yeah, I was just saying it would be hacked in order to prevent the return on the store. They're gonna get mini hacked all the time.

 

[DesiPrinceX09]

Excellent! Just before the release of the MK9 classic costume pack (and skarlet I think) and inFamous 2. Soon I shall claim my free stuff! Which will not include the first inFamous since I beat that game years ago (still have it though, it is a great game)

 

[mjc0961]

Right. I'm still going to stay off the Playstation Store for a while, because with all the people downloading their free games that they aren't entitled to, downloading anything else is going to take all day. Plus I still have stuff to do in LA Noire anyway.

Nice that it will finally be back though. Hopefully now they can focus on finding the sons of bitches that did this in the first place.

 

[Defense]

Let's hope they store user data better this time.

 

[Fiz_The_Toaster]

I'm a bit upset that it is coming out so late...(I mean, that's...what? Three days before inFamous 2 comes out? I won't even have time to sleep if I want to get 50% of the cores and beat inFamous before then.)

But at least it is coming back. Hopefully we'll be able to put this whole nightmare behind us and maybe PEOPLE WILL LEAVE SONY ALONE THIS TIME.

Edit: $5 says that the PSN Store will crash shortly after coming online from the massive traffic they'll be getting.

Don't say such things because it might happen! Although I think that's an easy bet to make and it will be slow as hell to buy anything from them since I'm sure we all have some make up buying to do.

OT: Well, I hope they can, I have some codes that I need to redeem and it's kinda hard to do that when the PSN is down. Especially since one of them will be inFamous 2 and I WOULD LIKE TO USE THEM IF IT'S NOT TOO MUCH TO ASK.

*ahem* Sorry, but hopefully it will be an easy transition when it does come back up, and no major hick ups when it does.

Re, your avatar - Everybody loves Hypnotoad...'specially me.
Do you mean the consoles or the network.
I don't give a crap if Geohot keeps hacking the devise, hell it could be a last resort if support for the ps3 really goes down the tubes as I fear it will. And it's the interference with that kind of hacking that brought about the network hacking.
If I was a hacker I would probably save my big attack (or big trap) for right when the store returns. In the mess of the shiton of transactions they're sure to see, they can get a lot more a lot more quietly.

 

[AbstractStream]

June 4th, huh? Cool, I still got time then.
I'll try not to get my hopes up...JUST in case.

Let's hope they store user data better this time.

I love these type of puns.

I'm just saying that June 3rd, or at the right time June 4th, would be the perfect time to strike, and we're not the only ones that realise that. I want the store back, and don't want someone to prevent that. And I'm fearing I won't get my free games for a long while.
