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!

  • When’s the store up ‘n’ ready

  • I just wanted to say Thank You Sony and that you guys still rock in my opioion. Also to all the sad puppies that went and got rid of there PS3 for a xbox or wii I dont feel sadness or pitty for you because if you were a true sony consumer a little outage would not influence your decision to get rid of a great gaming console. But yes congrats Sony yall did a wonderful job and we appreciate all that your doing to help and support us gamers who use your network for online competetive and fun gaming.

  • I would personally like to state that this is a great day. How i have missed MAG! Thank you to all of the Sony employees who put in long hours to make this all happen and make the PSN a much safer environment for everyone. i hope those responsible are found and given a fair trail in a court of law. and i hope to see the PS Store back up and running, so i get the latest and the best that only Sony can bring us.

  • With the PSN was down I bought a few Single player games and now I got 3 games that came with add-on pack codes. The games are great but I would like to redeem before I beat them. lol

  • Commenter #2,
    Really guy?… For ONE… Sony lost everyones personal information which might not mean much to those who don’t have an identity worth stealing but to some of us that’s a serious concern and threat. Sony deserves NO thanks and will get none from me. They built a weak network, KNOWINGLY neglected it’s security and then they went and ticked off a talented hacker group by completely violating the privacy of american citizens by grabbing the IP addresses and information from anyone who went to George Holtz’s website, Blog or even viewed his Youtube videos IN THE PAST 2 YEARS.. Big corporations like sony think their untouchable.. well.. YOU GOT WHAT YOU DESERVED SONY.

    when will PSN Store be up? Its down cuz they are working on giving us all our free stuff

  • FOR 2… How many times did they tell us “just a couple days.. it’ll be back this weekend, oh wait.. we need a couple more… now we need a couple more… hey guys, we’re testing it, just a couple more days… Screw it… it’ll be back when it’s back”… I mean C’mon… with all the Experts you supposably had hired they couldn’t creat an accurate time table for when it should be expected back up? You were off by 3 whole weeks from your ORIGINAL “it’ll be back up this weekend”.. It’s not about the time it took… I understand that it takes awhile to rebuild your networks, but really all you were doing was giving your consumers the run around so that they wouldn’t know the PSN would be offline for nearly a month because that would create a situation where you’d lose a lot of business to Microsoft. So you don’t get my appreciation there either..

  • AND 3.. I’m sick of this “your not a loyal sony consumer” cry baby crap.. SONY IS A CORPORATION!!.. they aren’t some mom and pops store around the corner… their a FOREIGN CORPORATION.. we don’t owe them CRAP for loyalty.. All anyone wants to do is cry about being an Xbox Fanboy or a PS3 Fanboy… who really cares? If you want to switch to Xbox because sony obviously has very low moral standards then GO FOR IT.. if you don’t then that’s your business too.. but PLEASE stop with the crying whenever someone says they switched over.. noone hasta be loyal to Sony and noone hasta be loyal to Microsoft.. their freakin companies.. GROW UP PEOPLE

    Myself.. I went and purchased a 360 not even a week after the outage… I didn’t sell my PS3 obviously… But I probably won’t be buying many titles for it in the near future..

  • THANK YOU ALL FOR ALL THE HARD WORK YOU PUT INTO RESTORING PSN!!

  • Damn HawnKeez calm down just change your CC# and pin not a big deal, and it’s a game console, get a life.

  • I just wanna say Thank u Sony….iv been sick Over the weeks because ov no online play…I’m so happy that it’s back up….now I’m just waiting on the store.

  • ;) I was up all night watching the map, I was like “Please start with east coast, PLEASE START WITH EAST COAST!” and then New York, and MA, and Maine lit up, and then all of a sudden Cali lit up -_-” I was like, watch FL be last :l
    But at 2:00am I was playing Mortal Kombat 9 ;D
