Thank you for your patience and encouragement over the last few weeks. As covered in the post from earlier today, you can now update the firmware on your PS3 and change your password. Kazuo Hirai just announced that we have begun the phased restoration by region of some of the services, starting with online multiplayer functionality.
Please note that these services will take a bit of time to be turned on and rolled out to the whole country. The process has begun and some states are being turned on now, so please be patient as we reach your city and state. We’ll be updating the map below as service comes online in individual states. It will take several hours to restore PSN throughout the entire country, so please keep checking back for the latest updates. In the meantime, now’s a great time to get your PS3’s firmware updated, which is required to get online.
Notice: If your state is illuminated but your service has not yet been restored, please be patient – it can take a little while for the servers to populate fully.
Until we get the comments functioning correctly, we’re putting all comments on hold. I’m sure Jitender would appreciate not having people put words in his mouth ^_^
In the meantime, we’ll keep updating the map, and those of you already back online – enjoy some games!
DAM WE MISS YOU PSN AND SONY GREAT JOB !!!
well its up and now i have to go to a baseball game soon so…… whatever but thank you sony.
Sony, let me change my ID too! Just this once. I don’t want it anymore because it incorporates my real life name. It is a security risk Sony, if you want to advertise yourself as some company that cares about our security, you should allow us to not only change our password this one time, but to change our ID this one time too. Please!
WHEN WILL PSP BE ONLINE

Great news! Hopefully the store will be up soon (though I could wait an extra week since I’m going on vacation in a couple days *grin)
SIDE NOTE: Does anyone else have an issue with signing in on this blog with their PS3 browser? I have to use a PC because when I try on my PS3 the section where you put your sign in info never appears.
add me on psn
I’m a fan of sony since ps1 and I will continue to be a fan but I feel like this issues was partially sony fault. They should have take action when Call of Duty: MW2 got hack instead they play blind eye. I felt like it was a plan to have more people buy or play Black:ops. (I hate the gameplay) I hope next time if any game is hack they should take the actions needed to stop the hacking and deal with the users themselves for hacking! So far MW2 seem back to normal and I enjoy playing last night!
PLAYSTATION STORE ISNT GOING TO BE UP FOR AWHILE.
I could go online but I can’t go to psn store
Finely, just cant till its world wide.
finally i get my night psn fix! ahhhhhhhhhh
they said there expecting all of the services by the end of the month so playstation store will be back up before black ops escalation map pack comes out.
Sony,
Alot of us complained (including myself), alot of us cried, alot of us threatened to jump ship, and I appologize for us all. You do great work and deserve more praise! Thanks to all of you who put in the hard work to make this happen. Now were is the effin store? jusss kiddin :P THANK YOU SONY!
Freaking sweet man it’s finally back my baby LIVES!!!!!
I don’t think code redemptions will work just yet. You will have to wait until the store comes back.
It is good to be back!
O M M F G!…

Ah, it’s good to be back!
those hackers can suck it now rub it in there face and aresst them for illegal hacking hope they go to prison those lame nerds having nerd rages. go sony LIVE ON OH LIVE ON!!!!!
YEAAAAAAAAAAAH! PSN all day!
this is the best news in this month i are back online
So with the store not up as of yet, that means we must wait to imput our Mortal Kombat codes ?? No worries there, I can wait a little while longer, just as long as I can snipe some noobs on Black Ops !
hey sony, ive seen 50 percent off on everything before, so will that happen once we get our 30 days free. also will that make the black ops map pack half off?
Why the hell i cant log in in my Ps3?
