I just got Portal 2 PS3 today and I don't feel like playing it knowing that I might not be able to play co-op ever. Foreveralone.jpg

 

[Dr. Malik]

They could say with more money they could get better stuffs.

They have PS+ for that, beef up that service and leave PSN free

 

[Professor Beef]

[infinityBCRT]

I don't think PSN is up yet, its just a patch... right?

 

[Carl]

Wait, so PSN isn't back yet, just the update? Blog post confuses

 

[H_Prestige]

It's so weird seeing my ps3 do "psn type" stuff after so long.

 

[03sho]

New firmware but PSN still down?

 

[tribal24]

[swerve]

Yup. North America has it (PSN) back.

 

[GeoramA]

3.61 is downloading.

 

[Alligatorjandro]

Im downloading the update now.

 

[CadetMahoney]

what happened?

After a period of silence Sony released a shocking statement saying hackers and personal information was leaked and a "couple of days" turned into "next week". Activity exploded, gifs and everything. end of #1

#2 Quite a few ppl were comparing it to the 2007 xbox Live outage until the shit hit the fan, then they moved up to RROD, but even that was surpassed in thread #3.

 

[Shadow780]

ZOMG!!!11

 

[GodofWine]

WARHAWK!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

:O :O :O

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

So that means I can't change my password unless I fix my YLOD'd PS3?

 

[Fersis]

Slowest firmware update ever confirmed.

Also: SONY works on weekends.

 

[Opus Angelorum]

Odd, it's dated December 10th.

 

[TacticalFox88]

Good. Now bring the network back up, give us compensation, and kick ass at E3 all will be forgiven.

 

[H_Prestige]

No need to get that excited yet. PSN isn't up. This is just the new firmware.

 

[GavinGT]

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.

Bolded the important part.

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.

So they're giving everyone the update early, hoping that people will download it now rather than the day service is actually restored. I see Sony is also worried about network strain.



Also, I'm not sure what this implies about how far along they are in restoring PSN. This had to be the easiest firmware update ever to make.

 

[italianfreak240]

Hopefully this is a good sign PSN will be up soon.

 

[CadetMahoney]

dec 10? downloading virus?

 

[Zombie James]

Downloading now.

 

[LiquidMetal14]

ITS BACK

 

[Konosuke]

Updating! We've made it!

 

[To Far Away Times]

I guess this means PSN will be up soon.

 

[weekend_warrior]

Does this mean...?

 

[MMaRsu]

Welp, Motorstorm is going back in the box to the store before I even play it.

SOCOM!

Why? Motorstorm games are awesome.

 

[Kagari]

Came out of nowhere.

 

[Sew]

So that means I can't change my password unless I fix my YLOD'd PS3?

I believe you will be able to do it via the web too. But if you want to do it from the PS3, you'll need this update.
