Play On – PSN Restoration Begins Now

Thank you for your patience and encouragement over the last few weeks. As covered in the post from earlier today, you can now update the firmware on your PS3 and change your password. Kazuo Hirai just announced that we have begun the phased restoration by region of some of the services, starting with online multiplayer functionality.

Please note that these services will take a bit of time to be turned on and rolled out to the whole country. The process has begun and some states are being turned on now, so please be patient as we reach your city and state. We’ll be updating the map below as service comes online in individual states. It will take several hours to restore PSN throughout the entire country, so please keep checking back for the latest updates. In the meantime, now’s a great time to get your PS3’s firmware updated, which is required to get online.

PSN-US-Wave-6

Map updated 12:03m Pacific

Notice: If your state is illuminated but your service has not yet been restored, please be patient – it can take a little while for the servers to populate fully.

Until we get the comments functioning correctly, we’re putting all comments on hold. I’m sure Jitender would appreciate not having people put words in his mouth ^_^

In the meantime, we’ll keep updating the map, and those of you already back online – enjoy some games!

  • dang look at all these comment.hey wanna join my clan nb-4 add me

  • Sony didn’t allow my last comment to be posted,

    I am upset and strongly feel that Sony should listen to my thoughts and should at least send me a message stating why my comments wont be posted for whatever reason. Watch out loyal Sony customers, they will only listen to you if you give them props. Their not as loyal to you as you are to them.

  • Thanks Sony!!!! I can finally get my kill on…Time to AUG some face!

  • Finally, at last I can put a comment… So the question is, for how long it’ll be up until the bad guys figure it on how to break on the PSN again??? and where are the loyals Xbox Live users now talking crap about switching to the other side? words…

  • Thank You Sony!!!!! =)

  • is anyone in georgia having trouble signing in and playing black ops??

  • THANX ALOT FOR BRINGIN EVERYONE BACC ONLINE…24DYS WAS VERY LONG..NOW WHEN WILL THE PSN STORE BE BACC ON AND ALSO WEN WILL WE BE ABLE TO ENJOY OUR 1ST MONTHS FREE PSN PLUS

  • Thank you guys time for MW2 quickscoping =D

  • is the online play on?

  • if you’re any good at zombies add me (:

  • finally :D thank u for puting it back sony

  • I found an echs box on Craigslist for cheap to play Ops online and I gotta say that those things are junk. Not much lag but boots you from lobbies constantly, no blue tooth, no blu ray, not to mention that they are LOUD when accessing the disk or hard drive. Then they want you to pay for online play when it is a very much imperfect system. It’s good to be back!

  • Well sony all i have to say is WTF!! I waited 3 weeks for this. I did your little 3.61 update and rebooted my system. I then changed my password as required. Then I went to sign in and your so called network keeps timing out. I have internet connection on my ps3 and I am also able to sign into PSn on my PC. WTF!! I restored my ps3 to default settings and reset my router. WTF it still is not working I am really getting pissed. Im about to take this PS3 and throw it out my window and then piss on it. This is bullsh+t get youtr crap together and fix this. I live in NY and according to Your little map I should have had psn last night at 3am like my cousin who has been playing balck ops all night who only lives 45 minutes away. WTF SONY FIX YOUR WORTHLESS NETWORK IM SICK OF IT.

  • I Cant change the pasword of my main account because i dont remember the month the day the years i have put Help plz ?

  • @DidntCmeComin: sorry if I offended you; I didn’t mean to offend you or other SOCOM players. I speak of the person in question, not his/her preference in avatars or games. Once again I’m sorry.

  • Nice job Sony! Thank you for your persistence and keep up the good work! Customer for life here….

  • Are the rumors true that Playstation and google are working together to put google chrome on ps3 and make cross game chat? I hope they are true. Thanks again for Psn back. -_- (:

    TTTTTTTTHHHHHHANNNNNNNNKS!

  • i dont think giving away a call of duty map pack for free would be wise as there are some players who don’t own call of duty black ops so if that was all they gave away it would be worthless if you ask me sony should give every user 20.00 dollars credit as if they did this the players could spend the cash in there wallet to buy one thing or more depends on how much the downloads the person wants costs and everyone will get the thing/things they can use or want the most

  • great job sony ! Question I changed my password I can get on fine. But my son cant change his cause we used fake email account so what do we need to do? Thanks again a comment back would be greatly apreciated.

  • Finally!!! Thanks Sony! I knew you would do your best!

  • finaly thank you for taking your time with this and making it better than before the one thing i want to know now is when the store is coming back up

  • Congrats Sony for getting PSN Back online. I believe you guys handled this very well.
    Others PSN User and myself are glad to be back online. Those who switched from
    PS3 to XBox basically swithced from free to PAY TO PLAY(PTP).

    I think we PSN users should get Escalation MAP Pack for COD Balck Ops for free.
    And Myself with other PSN users would like Cross-Game Chatiing. It would be very conveinient
    for all users.

    Always Sony Listen to the people
    they just might have the answer

    Please Reply if you feel the same because Sony need to listen to the people the more this is spread the more Sony will see it and do something about it
    kk

  • how come i cant actually buy stuff on the playstation network store and qriocity service?

  • highnoondogfight

    Thanks for all the hard work you put into the PSN. I was just bummed About not playing Dead Rising 2 with my girlfriend lol! We had other games to play. Never once worried about any stolen info or what you owed. You guys don’t owe anything and real supporters understand that nothing is 100% secure and that these things happen. You’ve made it up with your hard work, I really appreciate it. People switching over are overreacting and need to chillax. :/

    I don’t go online everyday so free online is great since I play when I want without worrying about fees. If people do pay, PS+ has those offers that are worth WAY more than what you payed for! :D I think people crying that you owe them are greedy. I can understand something for those who pay monthly for MMOs.

    I really hope you guys track whoever did this. Taking down a community just to punish Sony is just really uncalled for. (Assuming it was done by angry hackers..)

    I appreciate all the effort you have put in for us. I honestly think that you don’t owe us, but its very generous that you’re still going to offer us something in return. I hope that it calms down soon.

    Thanks a lot you gais! :D!

  • OHHH YEAH!!! Fat Princess & Black Op’s……………….HERE I COME!!!

  • this is awsome been waiting some time for it, and cant wait til psn store comes back online, for some reason my netflix wouldnt work for a while about 4 days after psn went down. I am happy that it is back up and the little online gaming I do I can get back to it thank you playstation for all your work and sweat in this.

  • Thanks SONY, You ROCK… XBOX SUXS

  • @PkA9_XeNoNsHaDoW

    If before downage, and it automatically signed you in, like if you had it on auto and save password, it’d say password was no longer available and take you to another page that let you put a new one in. I’d consider just using 1 account for that reason :P

  • Thanks again for all your wonderful Work Sony!!! We appreciate you taking our privacy seriously!!! We all love you!!

  • Anyone here plays NHL ultimate team? Are you able to access the store?

  • PLAYSTATION NETWORK IS NOW BACK ON AT 12:03AM IN ALL STATES WELCOME BACK PEOPLE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
