We don't know why he keeps buying PAL, either.
Least you'll probably get it back on the weekend Europe, Australia's weekend has come and gone.

Kinda sucks that we can't access our download list (yes I know its part of the store, but still).

And, has anyone noticed if your PSN+ was extended at all? I forgot to check.

Haha. Guys, you've waited nearly a month, I'm sure you can wait another 24 hours while the European servers kick into gear. :p

EDIT: The good news is that we know it's coming back now, and soon. This time yesterday we were all guessing it would be another week. :)

I was digging around the inFAMOUS 2 beta forums for a bit. It was slow but functional. Now, I'm getting an error about eu.playstation.com undergoing maintenance. Weird.

Ok I kind of have good news for you EU PSners out there, I'm not sure if this could be considered good news but take it for what it's worth.

Alright I live in Canada and I got my local (Canadian) PSN online a few hours ago, I changed my password & everything and got the confirmation in my email inbox.

Now.. I also have a (fake) Euro Account and a Japan Account,

I figured why not give it a shot and see if I could log into my European account aaaand...voila!
Sure enough I could change my password and log into my EU account, it's been roughly 10 minutes now, unfortunately I haven't got a confirmation email yet in my EU account email, I suspect any minute now, if not, it doesn;t matter, because it allowed me to change my password and now I am Online with my EU account from Canada (Canadian IP)

here's the dodgy part, I tried to do the same with my Asia (Japan) account and no cigar!

I got the classic "PSN is under maintenance" message.

So what can you take from this?

I think it basically means it probably is IP locked but once the Switch for PSN has been activated in your region and you actually DO have a local PSN account ( ie not an overseas fake one) once that is activated I think you are free to activate the rest of the international ones, grated those are also switched on.

This should explain why I could activate my Euro account with my Canadian IP after activating my local Canadian one, and I am guessing activating PSN in Euro regions is already well under way by now, hence why I could "free" my EU account.

And regarding my Japan account, my guess is they are moving their way slowly to the East, starting from the West of course N.A....Then EU..then Japan.

So for those of you who never ever had a local account from where you are, I suggest please make one now, with a legit email etc. activate that in your local European country, then if your primary account was a US one, then try activating that after you activated your local one.

If you already had a local one, but that wasn't your primary one, I still suggest trying to activate that first before the ones overseas.

For those of you who do not live in Europe or Japan etc. I still may suggest to try to make or log in to the account closest to your region, or at least wait until Europe and Asia is fully lit up, then try to log in to your "fake" US one.

Not sure if any of this makes sense, but for my to log into a EU account from my Canadian IP should speak for something. Good luck.

I seriously doubt Sony will ip lock from regional stores. Maybe in their next console. But they won't do it for the PS3. Not now.

Sony have more than earned their reputation for removing features and functionality by now. So, IP locking is a good possibility. They have not removed anything for a while, so they must be desperate to remove something.

I just wish this would hurry up in the UK. I never got the e-mail regarding this whole mess and just want to confirm I still have my account.

I also imagine if it took about six hours to get the PSN activated in just two countries, that probably have the easiest servers and other technological and legal setups, I am sure it's will take at least twice the amount of time to do the same in Europe, considering they are not only dealing whit just two countries probably at least ten different countries and their restrictions and technical limitation regarding activating PSN. just my take on it, but I donno.

I think it has more to do with size and population of the regions and they're doing a very slow rollout on purpose. The technology behind it shouldn't be much more than pushing a button at this point.

I'm curious about who the people that were fussing about that confirmation e-mail were. I know that some of us were waiting for the e-mail that let us reset our password (since we had forgotten it), since that's the only way to recover and access our accounts. If someone signed up the account with a fake e-mail and then tried to use the "forgotten password" recovery, they'd be out of luck.

You will be fine. :) A lot of people were in your situation. As long as it's set as "remembered", you don't need to worry about knowing it.

Australia and New Zealand first, come on. Most of the Call of Duty playing kids will be in bed for school tomorrow. No strain on the network. IT MAKES SENSE. Except nobody loves us.
