FINALLY

Edit: "An error occurred during the download operation. A connection to the server could not be established."

Oh fuck off.

Tease!!!!!

Finally some signs of life xD

Seems it could be back up within a few hours, SCEE's page says they've begun restoring services for NA and Europe.

At least for the US... IT HAS BEGUN! (don't ask xD)

Let me download the update here after 2 tries. Signing in still no go though, tells me I need to change my password, then gives me an error when I hit OK to do so, network is down for maintenance. Soon though, soon!

Should be up for you TO soon. Service has been restored to the Northeast in US.

Yup, all good here. Password is changed and things are well. Just synced my trophies :D Now to try Netflix (even though they said it won't be up until later, I don't see why something that doesn't even really rely on PSN wouldn't work...)

Netflix is a go, life is good :)

Like your avatar?

Up in Canada, nothing here yet.

That is why i wouldn't check now, will wait til the weekend. Btw still no service in Canada.

Nothing in the UK yet, got the update easy enough though.

In the EU not even the PS Blog is working xD

Should be up in all of North America. PS Plus is active now..wish they would have waited for the store to be up for our free month to start counting, but ah well. Have to be grateful that we are getting anything at all, so I'll take it.

Gone live for the UK, everything is running smoothly, apart from trophies which aren't working at all.

I have no problems with trophies.

Working fine and dandy for me in the UK, except the store, sync'd my trophies and everything.

Never recieved the email, its been about 5 hours I tried signing in and clicking the change pass but nothing.

meh, gonna jailbreak my ps3 and never update again.

Sony is dead to me after a scandal like this

Jailbreak for what? lol

HOnestly it sounds like you're making excuses just to jailbreak xD Just be upfront about it :P

Jailbreak for linux support? That's one of the main reasons I've personally held off on updating my PS3. Although the second Uncharted 3 comes out I might have a change of heart. Seriously haven't touched my PS3 for anything other than media playback in months

Yeah but that's because you play everything on your 360, do you not? xD

From what I saw when I was on custom firmware, linux support even on jailbroken consoles is very minimal at this point, not sure it's really worth it just for that. As has been being discussed in the jailbreaking thread, at this point in time the homebrew scene is pretty non-existent. Only releases that come out tend to be Backup Managers and yet another variant of the same custom firmware versions.

PSN up for Germany :)

Funny though, for my main acc. I could enter the new PWD right on the PS3, for the two others they sent a mail with a "change here" link.... o_o

Well, everything looks cool so far, friendlist is there, profile watching works, msg sending seems worky, Trophies seem cool.... just the store "is currently on maintanance" it tells me.

Even though its back up I can't play MK online because I can't redeem my Kombat Pass without the Store.

I don't know the specifics as I have sort of stopped following the details of the ps3 scene, but I know about a week ago someone came out with a new CFW that allows linux and dual booting like how it originally was, and on top of that have full access to the ps3 now instead of being restricted. I'm sure you can use a PC way better if you wanted a good version of linux but from what I understand now only is linux on the ps3 (if you install the new CFW) as good as it was originally, but it's actually better and improved. Not to mention it also works on slims and consoles that didn't have otherOS support.

I did read briefly though that I think some of the older systems may not work with it which seems kind of stupid but like I said I don't know all of the details about it.

Ah okay, that does seem better, although if it's anything like the first version that came out, it was quite the process to install. Granted if you're going to be using Linux, the process involved should still be understandable, but it's not just as easy as OtherOS was. Still a nice step in the right direction for sure, and having access to all of the PS3 should be very beneficial.

Seems the Japanese government aren't giving anybody access to PSN due to suspicion of more security vulnerabilities. Sucks to be them.

Fuck, I've been trying to get this e-mail to reset my pass for 2 days, nothing is coming up, anyone know how to fix this?

Why don't you just do it on the PS3?

I can't it says do it on the PC, I'll try again when I get home.

just give it a bit, im sure there are tons of people waiting on emails. it will come through eventually.

I reset my son's account with no problems (sub-accounts have to do by email/PC) Sorry I can't help you.

That's not what I read. I understood that they want insurances/details that everything they said they would do is both happening and satisfactory (preventative measures, customer confidence building).

thats what i read as well:

Im still not sure Canada got the update, as i am still waiting til the weekend as there are still "service outages" due to the over clogging on Sony's servers.

Canada did get the update, I downloaded and installed the firmware update as well as updated account approx 10 hours ago. If it's bogged down right now just give it time.

PSN is back up in Australia. Time to claim my free copy of Portal 2 via Steam. :D

before we get a head of ourselves: psn password reset exploited
