Thanks for the update!

Destiny89  |  March 19th, 2009 at 7:28 pm

cool, thanks for the fast update.

Nukes  |  March 19th, 2009 at 7:29 pm

Cool, thanks for the heads up, altho I was able to queue up everything for download quick before I got the error so all is well in my case.

Btw can someone explain why since I linked my accounts on here it doesn’t show my PSN avatar image nor does it use my PSN name?

Jeff Rubenstein replied on March 19, 2009 at 7:30 pm

I’ll see if I can fix it for you.

tirminyl  |  March 19th, 2009 at 7:29 pm

Thanks for the update Patrick!

Vengeful-Chaos  |  March 19th, 2009 at 7:29 pm

I think we should all get a free game because this problem is OUTRAGEOUS!

Ok I lie no problems for me but still a free game would make my day/week/month/year/maybe lifetime.

Hop to it, network peons! I need my Midnight Club DLC and I need to redeem my High Velocity Bowling voucher! TOIL, MINIONS!!

qoldfish  |  March 19th, 2009 at 7:31 pm

Thanks for keeping up updated :D

tsukasa1288  |  March 19th, 2009 at 7:32 pm

Good timing on the update post, I was just wondering why the store wasn’t loading. Thanks for the heads up.

Sekoku  |  March 19th, 2009 at 7:32 pm

So, what is exactly the problem? Servers being hit hard or something?

I’m more curious about what the 8…. error means more than anything.

ShadyDa1NOnly  |  March 19th, 2009 at 7:34 pm

Sony are losting alot of money right now.

KSPRAYDAD  |  March 19th, 2009 at 7:38 pm

I bet Xi is gumming up the works.

:P

KSPRAYDAD  |  March 19th, 2009 at 7:38 pm

@10…Um…that was random…why not help out and buy something then. :)

mixedkidbx  |  March 19th, 2009 at 7:39 pm

Hey Jeff

guess we put you guys to the test tonight with this update :D

MCLA for the win :D

TanZong  |  March 19th, 2009 at 7:39 pm

@ 10….”losting”??

Seriously?? You should spell check before you post. It might make you look slightly more intelligent, slightly.

I doubt Sony is really LOOSING much money right now. As I’m sure those that wanted to make a purchase, will surely make said purchase once the PS store is back up.

S-E-G  |  March 19th, 2009 at 7:39 pm

can’t complete a service?
shut it down!

jakinov  |  March 19th, 2009 at 7:40 pm

Sony needs to fix it so we don’t have to install every little thing we download.

Carlos_Gabranth  |  March 19th, 2009 at 7:42 pm

I was also worried, thank you for explain the situation.

hobb123  |  March 19th, 2009 at 7:42 pm

Unknown_Hero  |  March 19th, 2009 at 7:43 pm

Jay0121  |  March 19th, 2009 at 7:45 pm

I have to agree with you jakinov

safil  |  March 19th, 2009 at 7:47 pm

Zookey  |  March 19th, 2009 at 7:48 pm

Thanks for the update :-) I thought something was wrong with my PSP and PS3 and panicked! Thank God LOL!

VT_Brian  |  March 19th, 2009 at 7:50 pm

@ 14…”LOOSING”??

Seriously?? You should spell check before you post. It might make you look slightly more intelligent.

Dramlek  |  March 19th, 2009 at 7:53 pm

Thanks for the update, hope everything gets sorted out quickly. Actually, I was able to buy the CoD: WaW map pack a few minutes ago before the store dropped my connection. I still want to get the FIFA ‘09 add-on and the Red Alert demo. Guess I’ll have to wait while my 702 MB map pack slowly downloads…. :S

gap-pounder  |  March 19th, 2009 at 7:53 pm

The psn store confirmed my purchase of the waw dlc and before it started downloading I got a server error. Now the only option is for me to preview it. How do I get my download without getting ripped off?

Hizke  |  March 19th, 2009 at 7:53 pm

@23
HA you beat me to it.

The internet makes me so sad sometimes. “LOSING”! “LOSING”!!

JKC31  |  March 19th, 2009 at 7:54 pm

I got the same error this morning at about 5AM est.

srinuv  |  March 19th, 2009 at 7:54 pm

VT_Brian  |  March 19th, 2009 at 7:57 pm

@26
I wouldn’t normally care about spelling, but since he was criticizing the other guy about it, it was too good to pass up.

xxginwolfxx  |  March 19th, 2009 at 7:57 pm

how long is this error going to take?

marshel7  |  March 19th, 2009 at 8:00 pm

can someone tell me why things take so long to download to my ps3, like the red alert 3 demo, when i have 100% connection just looking for answer

gmk218  |  March 19th, 2009 at 8:00 pm

thanx for the update i was sure that u were working on it thnx again ill just try again later

Lou-igi  |  March 19th, 2009 at 8:01 pm

Thanks for the info. You guys do a great job keeping us up to date.

Brandon_2535  |  March 19th, 2009 at 8:01 pm

Yeah, our download speeds aren’t that great. They are awesome for the PSN being free, I just wish our speeds were like 360’s speeds. And I’m a PS3 fanboy, so it takes a lot of effort to say that.

TanZong  |  March 19th, 2009 at 8:01 pm

@23, 26, & 33

LOL!!! Guess that’s what I get. I’m not usually one to point that out either. Maybe I should refrain in the future….

mgrantz  |  March 19th, 2009 at 8:04 pm

Thanks for the update. I was able to quickly initiate the Red Alert 3 Demo earlier b/w the errors. That d/l is almost done!

WINNERS_CIRCLE24  |  March 19th, 2009 at 8:04 pm

ps store down?

mkis0077  |  March 19th, 2009 at 8:04 pm

fast acting..thanks..i was able to que up the cc-ra and some vids then i got timed out… good to know u act fast

CitizenInsane27  |  March 19th, 2009 at 8:04 pm

Thanks for the update Patrick, hopefully it doesn’t take too long to get all that stuff back up and running. I was totally ready to buy the Smack Pack for Pain too!

VT_Brian  |  March 19th, 2009 at 8:05 pm

@39 It’s all in good fun….I think :)

CitizenInsane27  |  March 19th, 2009 at 8:05 pm

@WINNERS_CIRCLE24

Did you even look at the post? Come on now guy, it’s not that long…

S_Y_N_1_S_T_3_R  |  March 19th, 2009 at 8:05 pm

@10 it’s not that he spelled it wrong, it’s that he didn’t even use the right word.

mkis0077  |  March 19th, 2009 at 8:05 pm

@ 25 just go to ur download’s menu when the store is back up, should still be in there

ca36gtp  |  March 19th, 2009 at 8:06 pm

I usually get 6-8Mbps downstream over PSN. I wish it would use more of my 20Mbps fiber connection, but it’s not slow enough to complain.

bandoors_ksa  |  March 19th, 2009 at 8:06 pm

thanks for the update i was thinking that my router was the problem =)

Jhekizz  |  March 19th, 2009 at 8:06 pm

oh my god i give up
