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!

  • It’s nice to finally have the PSN back online! Thanks for the hard work, Sony.

  • THANK GOD i got a PS3 on the 22nd so this is my first chance to play online

  • Hey, UK is BACK :D

  • JUST WANTED TO SAY TYVM TO SONY AND ALL ITS PPL FOR THEIR HARD WORK AND EFFORT!!!! J/W WHEN THE PS STORE WILL UP AND RUNNING AS WELL AS WHAT ALL IS BEING OFFERED IN THE “WELCOME BACK” PACKAGE? IS IT STILL ONLY GOING TO BE THE FREE 30 DAYS OF PS+ OR IS THERE GOING TO BE MORE OFFERED?

  • When will the store be up and running again.

  • Thanks? Thanks for what. People, it took Sony six days to inform us, the paying customer, that our personal identification had been compromised. Then another five days to tell the Sony Computer members that their personal information was compromised. Why? Because they were launching their new tablet and didn’t want any bad press. Great we can play online again. That’s wonderful. But the first thing that I did after changing my password was delete my credit card information, even though I had already cancelled that card. And guess what, Sony will never be trusted with that information again. Here’s a question for Sony, if they even read these blogs, why must I enter a valid address on my PSN account? After what happened, I want Sony to have the bare minimum information about me as possible. I tried to delete that info and just leave my country and it wouldn’t allow me. What’s with that?

  • I honestly couldn’t have pick a worse time to transition from the XBOX to the PS3… (facepalm)

    But all I can say now is…

    OMGOMGOMGOMGOMGOMGOMGOMGOMGOMGOMGOMGOMGOMGOMGOMGOMGOMGOMG

    PSN IS BACK ONLINE!!! :DDDDDDDDD

  • I’m glad it’s back up. It may have taken awhile to get it back up, but it was to make sure that we are able to be secure while playing online. I appreciate your guy’s hard work. Thanks Sony!

    Playstation forever!!(:

  • GAME ON

  • Is Dc universe online down for ps3? i need the redeem codes and when i try to put them in it says “this service is under maintenance” help?

  • PSN just went live in Jamaica.
    Thanks Sony.

  • for the record i forgot to say, THANK YOU SONY!

  • geez this has to be one of the largest comment post number since psn went down

  • Thank you very much guys for bringing the service back….

  • Thanks Sony for finally getting things rolling. I’ve been with you since the PS1 and unlike the fakes out there I’m a fan for life.

    @Icy_Rapture i know my password but it says theres a service error when i go to the other page to change it…all my other accounts i was able to change except this one and its the one i play on most

  • Thank you so much Sony! I bought a Playstation Plus 1 year membership, just waiting for the Store to come back up.

  • Post Number 1483, I have an objection, not all people have black ops so the map pack will be pretty useless because the map pack is made BY treyarch and its their profit so I say 30$ of cash in our wallets..

  • and yea why is it taking 20mins to join a friends invite..i wouldve rather waited longer than to be disconnected and introduced to new error codes..im more mad about the shiity service tht took 24 days to fix..tht ultimately is worse than before

  • Now 360 should go down so all the people who sold there ps3s get SCREWED

  • THAN KS!!!!

  • what i want for free from ps store when it is back on: escalation map pack

  • 1516 i agree

  • Thank u PSN for puting it back up so i can ignore my sister.

  • Dc universe online down for ps3?

  • 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
    ok

  • So good to be back online

  • EVERY ONE CHANGE YOUR COMMENT TO SAY ” I survived the PSN outage 2k11″!!!!!!!!!!

  • sony is bck i am very happy about it but when’s the ps store gonna be back an running again.?

  • can anyone tell me why my ps3 keeps telling me the connection to psn timed out. I am able to login on my pc and I have done the 3.61 update and changed my password. I then reset my router and reset the ps3 to default settings. I do an internet connection test and it passes but the psn fails. I live in ny and my cousin is online playing black ops right now on the psn….how could this be?

  • 1531…lol?

  • I feel sorry for those idiots who got all pissy and sold their playstations and bought an X-Box. I bet they feel pretty stupid right now!

  • and add me and my homeboy

    KillerViper_8

  • is the the black ops prestige still the same

  • When is the PSN Store gonna be up?

  • btw anyone know who jitender is?

  • @PkA9_XeNoNsHaDoW

    it might just be the account banned/hacked, or nulled. anything tbh i havent seen anyone else complaining about that problem

  • I do hope that they updated the networking hardware. gigbit switches and routers instead of the old cans and strings.

  • LOl! <3 FTW!
