Sony has made two posts today about their Playstation Network, not to announce the PSN downtime but instead to proclaim that the network and store are both back online and ready to use. The only problem with both these posts was that both were untrue, the UK and other areas of the world are still facing PSN and Plasystation store issues.
latest post by Sony used the title, ‘Welcome back to Online gaming’ with these cheery chaps used on the banner. An earlier post explained “Sony Corporation and Sony Computer Entertainment (SCE) have announced that Sony Network Entertainment International (SNEI, the company) have restored all PlayStation Network services as of 2 June 2011, in Europe/PAL territories.”
Since then the PSN has been up and down like a yo-yo, at the time of writing the official Sony site was showing the entire network was down. Unlike last months troubles this is probably attributed to the sheer number of people logging on to collect their freebies, which is why the re-launch of the Playstation Store was staggered – obviously this hans’t worked.
The problem clearly isn’t affecting every user, a quick search on Twitter shows that some users can access PSN services whilst others are being held up by other problems. These include being unable to change their password, facing store issues or receiving ‘down for maintenance’ messages when trying to login.
Are you still facing issues or PSN downtime? If so, let us know which issue and where in the world you are.
Hi, my son was very excited to find the store back today. I agreed to put £15 on for him to buy some fifa players. Guess what ? They took 6 x £15!! Thats £90- I still havn't been able to resolve it so beware! If you see an error page don't keep trying, I hate to think what I could have spent!
wooow.. class action time
im trying to make a new acount for the psp go im going to get in the mail in a few days and i keep getting the error message, anyone have any ideas?
not class action time, he needs to contact his credit card company because even tho the error came up he tried to refresh inturn charging his card an extra five more times.I hope you get it fixed. Also Mike, this is no case for a class action suit they would just toss it out.
I'm in the United Kingdom, and still the PSN is down!! I can't change my password, so I can't log in!
This is starting to annoy me now!!

In the U.S. just came back from serving my country and all I want to do is catch up on my Netflix queue but can I??? Nope because regardless of what they say I still can't change my password or get into the network at all! Not to mentioned I figured I would call and see if they have a better explanation at Sony…but guess what I am still on hold estimate wait time is 12 minutes…lets see what these under paid wanna be geeks have to say!
NC- no playstation here, im buying an xbox, screw you playstation i hope this looses you millions.

I bought an Xbox a few months back when this issue first occurred. It's a really cool system, and I'm wondering now why I ever got propagated to by a sony product.
I live in Eastern USA and I still keep getting the "site under maintenance" message! This come on when i try to sign in or click join or even posting a comment in the forum. Absolutely ridiculous…I'm going to switch to xbox when the new one comes out.

I'm in new Zealand and I can log on to Psn but not playstation store :(((( I really want the infamous 2 demo as well so it's pretty bumming 🙁
I am in Los Angeles and it's still down can't do anything on here's what a waste
im in the uk and its still down for me. Pretty ridiculous, Thought more of Sony!
my store is down and it says it expires on the 14th. so if i it dosnt come back up before then im outta luck.
I'm here in the southeastern part of the United States, I still can't get on. This is crazy, down for maintenance? Come on Sony, really? How long does it take? Guess I'll dust off the X-Box, send me a message when you are done fooling around.
I downloaded the playstaion plus thing and then went to claim my free gift and a bunch of error messages popped up. WTF!! I only have 30 days of this free trial and I can't claim any of games. This is truly a disaster. I'm in redding, California
I am in Grand Rapids, MI and am getting the maintenance notification as well.
I'm in Kent UK and just last night I got as far as being denied the free gifts, i even tried to buy a game and still no. I hope I haven't been charged for trying more than once too. 🙁
I cant even log on to PSN. Thanks for NOTHING Sony
Every time i try to sign in it says Error -.- when i change my password it doesnt let me it says the maintenance sign as well 🙁
I am in the U.S., Alabama. I see the offer for 30 days of free playstation plus and the offer for free games, but i can't get to them because it still won't let me login. I tells me that I entered the wrong password (which I didn't). Then it won't even let me change the password.
It may be I am just very lucky but yesterday morning 10am GMT I logged in to the PSN Store ok. Redeemed by welcome back package and started the download for the free games. I chose dead nation and lbp. I also signed up for my free psn plus subscription and was able to download the content ok which uncludes burnout paradise. 🙂
I'm in Tulsa, Oklahoma and I'm trying to create an account through my computer (I don't have a ps3 yet and I need to get a PSN ID before I can get one) and it's saying the network is down for maintenance. When is it coming back up??
I'm in Virginia Beach, Virginia (USA) No lover here either. I used to get the maintenance pop up when I would try to log on but now i get, "An error has occurred (8071-0D36)" ? ugh!
Im in Goldsboro,NC and no netflix >>>>
I use to be loyal to Playstation this has definitely changed my opinion of the organization – This truly shows how little they care about their consumers!
I am in BC Canada and the site is still down
UK – still getting site maintenance messages when I try to login.
Has this just started up again?
im really getting pissed of about this ps3 .here in malta no online gaming and getting many errors
Still can't log in! Can't do ANYTHING! What the heck!? From MO usa…
I’m from kuwait, and I still get the site maintenance message
