Sony hasn't announced anything for other regions, but if there's one thing we feel safe about assuming, it's a PSN outage. And if it results in renewed PlayStation Store functionality, we are prepared to sit one more day out.

Good lord.....one would think they got out all the bugs in the 3 weeks it was down.....even if they rebuilt it from the ground up.....
but HOPEFULLY this means the Store will be working when it comes back up...

Is that right? AFIK the PSN Store hasn't gone live yet, meaning no one's been able to get their freebies since you'll be getting from the store. Can someone corroborate?

What? The deal is over?! What kind of 'deal' is that? I've never once been able to even access the store this whole time. Are you sure?

The Welcome Back program will start once the Store goes back online. When the store comes back online you will have 30 days to get your free games. and you can keep them forever.

I think some people missed the sarcasm there...
But on another note. I agree with how bad it is Sony is taking so long to get stuff up again, but then I think about it the way you phrased it ("even if they rebuilt it from the ground up...") and I realize this is probably going pretty damn quickly.
I doubt it took them a month to create the PSN the first time, so I'm not really surprised it's taking them this long to remake it.

Are you purposely riling people up? PS Store NEVER came back and that deal has YET to happen.

Why does it take so long to service the PSN? Everytime I see that it goes down for maintenance it says it will take like 10 hours. That seems like an unusually long time

You bet! Only a few days before the whole thing went down, too.
Thus, I never got a chance to pick it up.

While I expect this all to work out in the end I can't help but wonder what we still aren't being told about the delays.

Hey at this point I'm like do what you gotta do to get it 100% back on track. I'm ready for the PSN store to come back.

Yes I agree. If losing PSN for a day or 3 to get the store back I'm ready to be without PSN again.

PSN - you get what you pay for.... sigh. Oh well, I'm happy with the service when it's working.

@phinn Last I checked, all PC multiplayer has never had a worldwide outage and I've never paid a cent for it.

I'm having trouble understanding you.
I tried running your comment through Google Translate, but they don't offer "English -to-Derp."

That's absolutely true. But let's be real, if you're a 360 gamer, you've been screwed at least as much, if in different ways, by a corporation. If you're a PC gamer, you've been screwed, though perhaps a lot less so, by various corporations, and if you're a Wii gamer, well, I don't really think you've really been screwed, aside from being screwed out of an awesome selection of HD games.

Please elaborate on how we have been "screwed by a corporation". From what I saw, Sony didn't CHOOSE to be hacked (and don't try using that GeoHotz bullshit), so I fail to see how it's really their fault.

Man, it's about time somebody said something about what's going on. I got a new PS3 and was trying to reset my password on Sunday night, but it kept tell me the site was down for maintenance. It has said it's been down every time I've tried to go to log into Playstation.com since then. I was quite confused, because I thought they got the "reseting password from browser" issue fixed, but I guess that's not the issue.
