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!
oh an people were right, you are all sucking up now…………………
playstation store dont work
Cant play Madden11. When I try to connect it says “Unable to get online pricing information at this time. Please check the PlaystationStore or try again later”
Is anybody playing Madden?
its funny how my uncle is the ceo of scea (sony corperation entertainment america).
I was playing Mortal Kombat online at about 2:00 AM EST. Man it felt good to be back online. Thank You Sony for getting the PSN back up.
now it time to play that infamous 2 beta
Thank you Sony!
I agree BogHawk sony rules, Xbox and Wii users don’t stand a chance. Congrats Sony i am always a customer no mater what happens.
Thanks Sony ^_^, I never was gonna trade my PS3 in for the 360 like some people probley already did I have all 3 systems, PS 1, 2 & 3, I just need the PSP & i’ll have them all lol, if anyone wants to add me go ahead =), I got Battlefield Bad Company 2, GTA 4, COD MW, Madden 10 & 08 & some more. Thanks again Sony, PS3 FTMFW!!!!!
Thanks so much Sony. I appreciate all the diligence you put on this. It wasn’t your fault, it couldn’t have been prevented, and sadly, it could happen to anyone.
But whats done is DONE and we gamers can finally play online.
So, Play On everybody.
@376 Be patient. The servers take time to fully populate as it’s a massive system. Some states can play online already. Yours will come too. I have a friend online playing Mortal Kombat 9 at the moment.
how come no one is online in psp games
The clones have stopped!
@ wowowowo1 why you gotta lie man, its sony ‘computer’ entertainment. Epic Fail!

I don’t mind how long it took since you guys were making PS3 safer and more secure. However i would have liked to have been updated daily on how it was coming along instead of being left in the dark for 3 or 4 days at a time. Anyways glad I can use PSN again
Thank you sony now my brother can “STOP” buggin me…..lmao!!!!
Does anyone know when are we going to be able to get the ‘Welcome back’ reward?
THANKS Sony!!!!!!
HALLELUJAH!!!!!!!

Let’s see what you guys have for us after this long long wait.. Once again Thank you so much SONY… TEAM BRING IT…

hey sony thank u for getting psn back up but i do wonder is there a way i can change my msn account for my psn account i hope u guys reply
Hell yeah time to play call of duty online
I want to say thank you SONY! I never lost hope in you guys! There was no way I would trade in my system thhat simply does everything for a LAME-BOX! I know it to awhile but I’m studying to be a game designer and I know how solve problems could take longer than expected so I waited! I understand how much time and hard work it to took for you guys to get it up and runnug again. Thank you!!
Thanks Sony….for baiting yourself into getting hacked in the first place. I’m as glad as anyone else, but you need to see that people’s information has been compromised. That’s not good. Plus, all this “switching systems” is retarded. We all know that the PC is superior and if any console WAS superior, it’d be a tie with the Wii and PS3. Everyone needs to stop kissing Sony’s ass with this loyalist bull.
WHEN WILL THE STORE BE BACK ON????????????????????????????
THANKS SONY
Sony You Guys Are Awesome. Even Though It Took You Three Weeks you guys still managed to bring PSN back.
i feel bad for any gamer who switched their console. and now lets start the phase, a better security program.
I Believe In You Sony!!
