We’re aware that some of you may be experiencing difficulty accessing the PlayStation Store at this time. We have a dedicated team working on it now and will let you know as soon as things are back to normal for everyone, both here and on the PlayStation Twitter account. We thank you for your patience, and hope to have the Store up for everyone shortly.
UPDATE: The engineers have finished their maintenance, and applying the final tweaks. The Store should be functioning now as normal. Thanks again for your patience.
Thanks for the update!
cool, thanks for the fast update.
Cool, thanks for the heads up, altho I was able to queue up everything for download quick before I got the error so all is well in my case.
Btw can someone explain why since I linked my accounts on here it doesn’t show my PSN avatar image nor does it use my PSN name?
I\’ll see if I can fix it for you.
Thanks for the update Patrick!
I think we should all get a free game because this problem is OUTRAGEOUS!
Ok I lie no problems for me but still a free game would make my day/week/month/year/maybe lifetime.
Hop to it, network peons! I need my Midnight Club DLC and I need to redeem my High Velocity Bowling voucher! TOIL, MINIONS!!
Thanks for keeping up updated :D
Good timing on the update post, I was just wondering why the store wasn’t loading. Thanks for the heads up.
So, what is exactly the problem? Servers being hit hard or something?
I’m more curious about what the 8…. error means more than anything.
Sony are losting alot of money right now.
I bet Xi is gumming up the works.
:P
@10…Um…that was random…why not help out and buy something then. :)
Hey Jeff
guess we put you guys to the test tonight with this update :D
MCLA for the win :D
@ 10….”losting”??
Seriously?? You should spell check before you post. It might make you look slightly more intelligent, slightly.
I doubt Sony is really LOOSING much money right now. As I’m sure those that wanted to make a purchase, will surely make said purchase once the PS store is back up.
can’t complete a service?
shut it down!
Chef Ramsey
Sony needs to fix it so we don’t have to install every little thing we download.
I was also worried, thank you for explain the situation.
i hope it gets fixed i been waiting all all day so can download the new call of duty map pack i just got the money then when i wanted to go on to playstation store i couldn’t download it made me mad but lucky im not only one
i guess the great update overloaded the sever :p
I have to agree with you jakinov
see, now thats what im talkin about. keeping us on point about whats going on and fast too. much respect!!! and Jeff, i like it how u personally handled that guys issue about the login, shows us who really cares and that are voices are being heard…
Thanks for the update :-) I thought something was wrong with my PSP and PS3 and panicked! Thank God LOL!
@ 14…”LOOSING”??
Seriously?? You should spell check before you post. It might make you look slightly more intelligent.
Thanks for the update, hope everything gets sorted out quickly. Actually, I was able to buy the CoD: WaW map pack a few minutes ago before the store dropped my connection. I still want to get the FIFA ’09 add-on and the Red Alert demo. Guess I’ll have to wait while my 702 MB map pack slowly downloads…. :S
The psn store confirmed my purchase of the waw dlc and before it started downloading I got a server error. Now the only option is for me to preview it. How do I get my download without getting ripped off?
@23
HA you beat me to it.
The internet makes me so sad sometimes. “LOSING”! “LOSING”!!
I got the same error this morning at about 5AM est.
thanks for the update..
Thank you for the update! :)
Thank you Patrick!
BTW whats the twitter page?
Wow, thanks for the update :)
oh man i wanting to download Red Alert 3 Demo man im bummed, but dont worry Sony i dont hate you actually i think i love you Sony, yes thats it i love Sony yes hahaha I LOVE SONY tee hee. lol jk sorry Good Work Sony!
@26
I wouldn’t normally care about spelling, but since he was criticizing the other guy about it, it was too good to pass up.
how long is this error going to take?
can someone tell me why things take so long to download to my ps3, like the red alert 3 demo, when i have 100% connection just looking for answer
thanx for the update i was sure that u were working on it thnx again ill just try again later
Thanks for the info. You guys do a great job keeping us up to date.
Yeah, our download speeds aren’t that great. They are awesome for the PSN being free, I just wish our speeds were like 360’s speeds. And I’m a PS3 fanboy, so it takes a lot of effort to say that.
@23, 26, & 33
LOL!!! Guess that’s what I get. I’m not usually one to point that out either. Maybe I should refrain in the future….
Thanks for the update. I was able to quickly initiate the Red Alert 3 Demo earlier b/w the errors. That d/l is almost done!
ps store down?
fast acting..thanks..i was able to que up the cc-ra and some vids then i got timed out… good to know u act fast
Thanks for the update Patrick, hopefully it doesn’t take too long to get all that stuff back up and running. I was totally ready to buy the Smack Pack for Pain too!
@39 It’s all in good fun….I think :)
@WINNERS_CIRCLE24
Did you even look at the post? Come on now guy, it’s not that long…
@10 it’s not that he spelled it wrong, it’s that he didn’t even use the right word.
@ 25 just go to ur download’s menu when the store is back up, should still be in there
I usually get 6-8Mbps downstream over PSN. I wish it would use more of my 20Mbps fiber connection, but it’s not slow enough to complain.
thanks for the update i was thinking that my router was the problem =)
oh my god i give up
