Sony Restores the PlayStation Network

[Suicideking]

so to update your ps3 password you have do it on your original ps3??? I got a problem my ps3 got the YLOD-is some other way to change the password??

Not sure the exact quote, but if you try to change your password from something else besides the original PS3, an e-mail will be sent to the e-mail account linked to your PSN account to validate the account and change the password.

...Why is the Playstation Blog link suddenly giving me an internal error message? That doesn't exactly inspire confidence.

Sounds like the work of kiddie hackers at 4chan. Nothing serious.

Stares at the map*
Come on Minnesota! Be an outlier and suddenly pop up.

-Downloads Portal 2 on Steam and laughs manically-

I can't even describe the jubilation I am feeling right now.

-Sees the download is only at 20%-
Must go faster, gogogogogogo!

I don't think I'm gonna be on PSN for quite a while from what the map is telling me.

Come on AZ! Let there be online!

 

[Tony2077]

So is it wrong that I still can't listen to Mr. Hirai speak without hearing "IT'S RIDGE RACER! RIIIIIIIIIIIIDGE RACER!" in my head?

Anyway, go look at the comments on any of these new Playstation Blog comments. "jitender" is a chatty fellow. I worry about the state of PSN if they can't even get their comments working properly.

I wouldn't worry about the map so much. I'm in New York, which is clearly nice and green on their picture, and my current extent of what I can do is PSN is clicking on the Sign In icon on the XMB and seeing a screen that says "PlayStation Network is currently undergoing maintenance."

Agreed. GO CANADA SERVERS!!!

Yeesh, I hope you're right. My PS3 is turned on and I'm waiting patiently, grrrr, for the update to arrive.

i got the update so where is the password changer thing

The update is already available to be downloaded and installed even if PSN isn't back up in your area. So go download it now so you have that done for whenever your area does get access again.

i got the update so where is the password changer thing

You'll get that once you can sign into PSN again.

It works like this people:

1. Get firmware update now by turning on your PS3 and going to System Update.
2. Wait for PSN to be back up in your area.
3. Sign into PSN and then you have to change your password.
4. Toss anyone who edits this list to "fix it" with the "??? profit" meme into an active volcano.

Netflix worked without PSN being up lol

Worked for me, too.

Were people actually having issues with that?

Not sure but I used Netflix the entire time it was down I dont like using it on 360 keeps buffering probs


Im happy PSN is starting up now

I just can't bring myself to dislike Kaz Hirai, he's just so adorable!

While I can't speak for everyone, I personally appreciate the sentiment that Kaz brought on. Whereas most companies would just give out a simple press release, it felt kind of special that the CEO of the place gave us a personal apology. Takes a lot of humility to give that.

Still, hopefully they'll never have to do that again...

Bout time, hope the store comes back online soon as well, got some stuff the download/buy. I wonder what the free games will be that I heard about in some other thread. I got some games I need to re-download to, I've been hankering for some Armored Core.

I'm Coming for you my long-awaited KH Dark Cloud DLC for Dissidia 012! HERE I COME!

Spoiler: Pfft, it's all about Dancer Bartz dude

At least I can finally redeem my Cecil costume code, and hopefully Emperors costume is up too.

Its about time, Sony...PLEASE don't let some rage quit hacker get you again.
