We’re currently experiencing an extremely heavy load of password resets, and so we recently had to turn off services for approximately 30 minutes to clear the queue.
As such, a large number of people are attempting to change their passwords at the same time, it’s taking longer than expected for all those emails to clear all of the ISPs.
If you’ve requested your password reset, please give it a bit of time to reach your email. Thanks for your patience as we work to get everyone back online.
Finally its back in BRAZIL!!! Thank you!!
Sony and good job!
Thanks for the heads up, i need the store, i have infamous 2 codes to dl from the subway giveaway!
It’s still not over yet! Asia still can’t get online. How come it’s not yet active?
Thank you for resolving the problem with the network now we can get back to buying and playing games i hope that all of the precautions that have been put in place keep the network safe and running strong. PS. have fun gamers
Can we get an update as to when the PSN store will start to open for each region because my Ps3 replacement broke right before the network went down so when I got my 2nd replacement Ps3 back it didn’t have any of my online accesses for my games so I still can’t go online. It’s feels like my girl slapped me in the face on top of my ps3 breaking twice cause everyone else can go online and I still can’t.
@ elwood711
go to microsoft you crybaby
PSN is better off without the likes of you
AT LAST, SOME EXITEMENT
Didn’t you guys compensate for the overload? It’s not like you didn’t know how many people use PSN + Influx of of returning users.
C’mon son!

Hey!! any word on ROCKBAND online gaming?? It is NOT working!!! When will this be operational???!!! Doesn’t do much good to have the network up and I am STILL unable to play my favorite game with my friends!!

Stop blaming Anonymous for this whole hacker business…they did do a DDoS attack on Sony, but that is ALL! Another party is responsible for stealing credit card info, etc. Come on! Really? Common scam artists? Anonymous? That really isn’t their style and if you knew anything about them…you wouldn’t have posted that accusation…
By TimChamp:
“anyone know how poeple were posting during the outage?? the whole time they had an outage people were posting?”
Yeah, interesting how this question, asked by MANY, never gets answered.
I received my confirmation through Gmail in less than 15 minutes!!! 8~)
Any word on when the Store will be up and running? And does anyone know if the new COD maps will be available when it does come back?
Thanks,
RobHaze
ok everybody needs to stop trashing playstation network were even lucky that they had worked as fast as they can to put psn back online and you need to wait there going state by state so it can not crash the servers and we would have to wait again so just calm down, there trying there best as fast as they can it hasnt even been a full month usually it takes months they have restore it less then a month so be glad and playstation yall need to watch out there gonna hack again to try do it again after they have tryed to hack into xbox live and do the samething ohh and guys we should be thankful that its free non-like xbox user which have to pay
they answered it here during the outage. if you logged before the outage, your cookies get you signed in. pretty easy an no magic trick to it.
I have a few words that summarize SONY ……LIES LIES LIES LIES LIES
Sony I never Complained About this update and ima stay a sony fan 100% of the time i bought so manny ps3 games just 2 help u guys out and ima buy things from the psn store as soon as it goes up if its not a bother can u give us some info on the store and black ops double xp weekend if we r gonna get that when the maps come out or sooner???
How much longer for the Store to be back up.You guys owe me Back to the Future episode 3 Citizen Brown and by now Episode 4.I’d better get them together and not wait another month.Lol.
i say sony bans the ppl that talk mess 2 sont if u are not happy ship boat 2 xbox like the rest of them sony let them leave u have other die hard fans like me out there i support u 2 the fullest go SONY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
ok so it is turned on now ( sorta ), then they turnit off due to an over whelming amount of password requests? what were You thinking Sony? PSN has been down for 3 weeks, did You think 77 million people would wait 3 more days to log in so as not to overwhelm the servers? comeon…….You should have expected and prepared for such a rush of gamers to log on the moment it went up.
IN RESPONSE to sonys network… WE did pay for it….What do you think the 60-70$ games go to besides thier pocket… Still the ultimate thing is we are not a priority, and they (Sony) know it, because all they do is tick their customers off and lie to them… Three weeks of crap and still the network is crap….BLOWS!!!
Please help me to get my password
my id:manqor
glad to see psn back and running
Everyone is better off selling all of their ps3 stuff and getting a different gaming system…. I for one will NEVER submit another dime to such crappy service….
ok, I don’t care if its down for 30 min I can wait that out
Thank you so much, lets never let this happen again.
Good Job Sony..
Now to work on The Playstation Store ;]
@PawPaDawg
You obviously don’t understand networking infrastructure. Most ISP’s set out a limit as to how many emails you can send and receive in an hour. Sony being as big as they are has a much higher threshold for sending out emails than we do as normal consumers.. that said, with how many password change requests that were going out, yes it takes a while. Everyone was trying to login at the same time, any network would take time to respond to that.
When faced with spam (in the form of multiple emails) typical server behavior is to throttle those messages and send out X number of emails at a time, wait 10-30 seconds and then send out the next batch until all of the emails are sent. THAT is what took so much time for the Password Reset Emails to be sent out.
Im so Happy it is Back ON!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Thanks Sony for bringing the p.s.n back on line now when do we go for all clear I’d
@1919 Yea right… If that was the case, I’m sure you wouldn’t be here complaining. Do you think Sony is going to beg for your dime?
I LOVE SONY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Wow some of you are like my 2 year old you cry if you can’t get what you want when you want it. GROW UP YOU NOT 2 ANYMORE.
