PlayStation Network back up (updated)

by Justin McElroy { Jul 10th 2007 at 12:28PM }

In what is either one serious case of unfortunate timing or preparation for E3 madness, the entire PlayStation Network appears to be offline, as seen here. Sony previously announced that they'll be bringing E3 to PS3 users, so perhaps this outage is in preparation for that. We'll let you know as soon as we hear something.

[Update: The PSN appears to be up now, though the PlayStation Store is still offline.]

[Update 2: After briefly going back down entirely, the whole thing seems to be operational now. Anyone notice any changes?]

[Thanks, Kyle]

how am i suppose to play mofostorm now?

Stevo @ Jul 10th 2007 12:37PM

hehe, I'm sure Sony has some cool stuff they are going to do w/ PSN and E3-- maybe some REALLY big stuff. I'd say it'll probably be a worthy sacrifice.

The Sony website says it's already back up now, but that the PSN store is still down.

Sorry for the double post >_

Maybe they're updating it with something?

Hell, Apple takes the Apple Store down all the time and it usually pops back up with something new.

sheppy @ Jul 10th 2007 12:41PM

They said they'll be streaming the press conference. Maybe they were preparing for that since, to my knowledge, PSN has yet to handle mass treaming.

nawtyeravgjoe @ Jul 10th 2007 4:51PM

i thought they were only streaming it on www.us.playstation.com ?

Hatchetforce @ Jul 10th 2007 12:46PM

The network is back up but the store is down. If what is posted there is part of the new look and and indicator of things to come then I think this will be smart for Sony. I like it.

shedwards @ Jul 10th 2007 1:09PM

why does everyone have mario heads?

erac3rx @ Jul 10th 2007 1:17PM

Or more importantly, at what point does it bother Nintendo that Joystiq is using a Mario graphic everywhere. Joystiq makes serious ad money off of the comments that people write, and if those comments are more appealing as a result of Mario being everywhere... well they're making money off of a Nintendo trademark. Right?

Do I sound like the RIAA yet? ;)

Stores Up for me. idk what people are talking about.

Ryoga Vee @ Jul 10th 2007 1:47PM

Joshua @ Jul 10th 2007 2:13PM

No, but this is a blog. Anything can appear on a blog.

poprocker @ Jul 10th 2007 1:57PM

This must be from the 10 people that went out and bought a ps3 because of the price drop. they all 10 connected to the psn at the same time and brought it to its knees!!

In the PS Store, you can use R1 and L1 to move to the next and previous pages. Also if you mouse over one of the sections (ex. Featured Items) it will light up. Also the font is smaller for "Featured Items", "Games", "Videos", etc. That is all I see that is different.
