Lol mine completely signed me out... Is there anything on PSN blog or forums

 

[Darren.]

Same. What's going on? Was playing THE RUN online and it gave me error.

So you play The Run too. You like it? The PS Blog seems to be loading very slow as well.

 

[harrison1476]

Yeah, when PSN gets back up you should add me, I need some ppl to play with. I only have one nfs friend and he doesn't play much anymore.

I will. @Everyone: Hopefully this downage is a result of a loose wire or something, not a hack. *cough* Anon *cough*

 

[harrison1476]

Yeah ^ Lol me too. also how many friends do u have for the run? If you have a few and don't mind asking if I could add some of them it would be nice

 

[Ross]

On the official PlayStation website, it says offline in the top right hand corner. Not good as the last unscheduled "maintenance" we had, was the hack.

Just one on my GTP_Daz account. I've never played him before, but I've played him on HP3 and BP a lot. I'll be playing him on Monday if SCE get to work. @ Ross, video says it all.

 

[harrison1476]

Oh no.. This can't be good

 

[Sleek Stratos]

I just bought a $50 code off of bestbuy.com, but it said the code was invalid. I hope it said that only 'cause I tried redeeming it right in the middle of the crash...

Said my code for the two free games (stated in an earlier post) was invalid. You're not alone..

That's a bit of a relief.

Misery loves company.

 

[ghskilla]

If it's another hack attack then f:censored: me.

EDIT - Unconfirmed source says it'll come back on about 8:30pm BST, from a source claiming it was from Sony.

 

[Ross]

It's now saying partially available on the PlayStation UK website but I still can't sign on.

EDIT: Now showing offline again.

 

[harrison1476]

Call Sony? I'm gonna try right now

 

[Ross]

Call Sony? I'm gonna try right now

Someone in the GT5 Drift forum has already done that and it's down for 12 hours.

 

[dhandeh]

It's probably down to all the free games offered on PS+ and the downloading has crashed the network.

Could be I suppose. It crashed the PS Store last night.

Or the guy monitoring the servers, wants some peace while he watches the football.

The PSN is in the USA. I highly doubt it, as funny as it was.

 

[OwensRacing]

Signed in here but GT5 acts like I'm not, shows online lobby and seasonal events but obviously can't enter.

Off to see how MW3 is working.

Have you only just signed in. I still get error code.

Lewis Hamilton must be to blame then.

Lewis Hamilton must be to blame then.

I can fault you there too. Hes in Canada.

 

[dhandeh]

Blame Canada then.

I was getting the error. Checked right before the post and it was signed in. As you see others are too. Pic taken about three minutes ago. Note date and time.

 

[Darren.]

I still get errors, your Friends must be it, the last 6 left online...

 

[rickyw]

Mine's been off all damn day! Very annoying.

These are the only major sites with stories on the matter at this time. I hate having to post a link to Kotaku so in order to not give them views, please don't click on it but rather read its content in this thread. But I must link to basic etiquette.

Sony rumors story:

http://www.sonyrumors.net/2012/06/09/psa-playstation-store/

After attempting to access the PlayStation Store to download a free copy of LittleBigPlanet 2, thanks to this weeks PlayStation Plus update, I discovered that every attempt into the store would result in a crash with the following error message:

The service is currently undergoing maintenance.

I’ve since attempted to do some basic trouble shooting like PS3 reboots with no different results, indicating that its indeed on Sony’s side. When the question was posed to our Twitter followers, it seems that a great many are experiencing the same issue, even in EU territories, resulting in not a localized blackout but a worldwide issue for Sony.

We’ve already contacted Sony and we’ll update this post as we hear more.

Updates, after the jump.



Obviously I don't really believe I'm really the culprit.
I also feel as if I’m partially to blame for the stores cash, due to the amount of free content (nearly 50GB) that I’ve been downloading. This has resulted in my PS3 being left on during last 24 hours as it slowly grabs the content from Sony’s servers and just to be clear, my internet speed is 35MBps down so its not me.

Update:

It seems that the store is also down for users attempting to access the service from their PlayStation Vita.

It should also be noted that all your current downloads seem to be just fine while access to PSN itself is still live with friends list and online gaming.

Update:

We’re now getting reports that Music Unlimited and Video Unlimited are down as well. Other services like Hulu and Netflix seem to be working just fine.

Update:

It seems that online gaming has indeed been affected with users not being able to access online components of games like Uncharted 3 and Battlefield 3.

PSN Picked a Strange Weekend to Have an Outage
Good old Error 8071053D is back if you try to sign into PlayStation Network from your PlayStation 3. If you try to log in to a PlayStation web site, you get a page tells you the site is down for maintenance. These outages affect North American servers.

It doesn't appear to be regularly scheduled, as PSN underwent regular maintenance on May 24, and the weekend after E3 would be kind of a bad time for that. I'm reaching out to Sony Computer Entertainment America representatives for more info on why this is happening and how long it's expected.

 

[Darren.]

Sony admit theres a problem...

We are aware that some of you are having issues accessing PSN, and we're working to restore service to all. Thank you for your patience.
