Issues With PAIN Blu-ray

Hi Guys,
I’m Joey and I’m the SCEE Product Manager for PAIN.
Sorry to be the bearer of bad news but I wanted to let you all know ahead of time that we are experiencing some difficulties with PAIN on Blu-ray.
This is a server related matter which we are aware of, and we’re developing a patch to fix this as soon as possible.
The problems you may be experiencing include:

• An inability to play online games.
• Software locks when playing online games.
• The inability to purchase or use additional content acquired via the PlayStation Store.

PSN online players may also experience game locks and hangs in online play. This will be addressed once the PAIN Blu-ray patch is applied to the game.
We’re currently planning to release a product patch within the next 10 working days, and we endeavour to keep the community updated with any changes to these plans.
But keep on flinging your chosen victim and bring on the PAIN!
Joey
