PSN Down Indefinitely?

[Jill Sandwitch]

So I just got my PS3 back from Sony after(supposedly) being repaired.

It wasn't.


They didn't fix it.

It turns on, but it doesn't read Blu-Rays. LMAO. Do they even check these things? Sony can **** off and die. I'll be purchasing a stand alone Blu-Ray player.

I am now officially a Sony hater. PSN...take your time.

Damn dude makes me glad I got mine repaired by a 3rd party. Was cheaper too.

This is a thread discussing how PSN is offline. Did you expect people to post how enamored people are with Sony?

That, and the fact that the thread itself is only weeks old, I'm not sure what you're expecting. I own a 360, a PS3, a Wii, and COUNTLESS other gaming systems. I call them as I see them.

I'm sorry if my dislike for them as a company bothers you(i.e. gets your panties in a bunch), but perhaps if they actually FIXED the system when I SENT IT TO THEM, they wouldn't draw so much ire.

I'd only recommend 3rd party repairs if your warranty is already expired. But, yeah, there are lots of cheaper places, especially on Ebay where you can find people who'll do it for just a modest amount.

That's not what it said

The PSN isn't online, the guy was just saying that other Sony systems are still insecure and that there are major security holes.

PSN, SOE, who cares? Sony's security has more holes than Swiss cheese.

I've been keeping busy with reading HP and just finished Deathly Hallows yesterday. Now I'm at a loss for what to do. Tried to read another book and got very bored.

I'd probably be cheering for they're downfall.

We have been working on a new PS3 system software update that requires all PSN users to change their password once PlayStation Network is restored. The update (v3.61) is mandatory and is available now.

If using a PS3, your password can only be changed on your own PS3 (or a PS3 on which your PSN account was activated), as an added layer of security. If you have never downloaded any content using your account on the system, an email will be sent to the registered sign-in ID (email address) associated with your account when you first attempt to sign-in to PSN. This e-mail will contain a link that will enable you to change your password. In this email, click on the link and follow the instructions to change your password. Once you have changed your password you can sign-in to your account using your new password.

We strongly recommend that all PSN account holders with PS3s update their systems to prepare for when PlayStation Network is back online. The release of this update is a critical step as we work to make PlayStation Network significantly more secure. Thank you for your continued support and patience.

Finally some progress.

So I just got my PS3 back from Sony after(supposedly) being repaired.

It wasn't.

Same thing happened to me with the first PS3 I sent back to Sony. But instead of the blu-ray player, it was the bluetooth module that died on mine. It was a 3 week round trip too, only to get the same system back with the same problem.

Apparently PSN will be going back online today

 

[ProgMatinee]

hope so. I'm not scared about the data loss. People find more about you when you enter raffles.

Just downloaded the update, not sure how to change my password though.

 

[Darth_Fatso]

This is good news!

 

[batfan08]

For some reason, nothing came up about changing my password. It won't let me use the forget password function either.

Password will need to be changed only once the network is back online. They are starting to turn it back on slowly it seems. For anyone in the US they have a map showing where its back online. https://blog.us.playstation.com/2011/05/14/play-on-–-psn-restoration-begins-now/

Yeah, I just talked with a customer service rep.
