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!

    Ride or Die.lol

  • lol @ the number of comments

  • Thanks Psn for this great presenet for my Birthday xD. Service in Malta is back up :D

  • WHATS IN the Welcome back package

  • Since we have not been able to play online for a month. I propose that you give us some money in the store. It doesn’t have to be much in all reality $10 should be good. I propose you give it to us as a we are sorry gift. Please highly consider this proposition.

  • IM so glad that the PSN is back up now i just got to wait for the store to open so i can play DC Universe online got it the day after it went down :(

  • Finally online play. I just wish the PS store was back there was some things i wanted to get. Thank god i already owned both the ps3 and the 360 so i just playing online on my 360 all this time. Hopefully in the future this would never happen again and we will be more informed about the situation in what is going on . i didnt like how we were told at first that the network was going under maintenance when it really wasnt. I think were all smart enough to know that were always told when maintenance is going on. The next step is fixing the online community and making games actually playable without cheating online. This would be a great next step to fix this i am sure tons of people would agree.

  • For those who may not know. I wanted to let you know, you don’t need to wait for an email from Sony to go online. Just sign in with your Playstation you can change your password right away.

  • Can someone answer my question i left on post 1601?

  • we love u sony! glad to be owning n00bs in Black Ops again!

  • @1601 the folks that could comment on the Blog or on the Forums did so because the web browser they were using had saved cookies of them logged in as their accounts on the blog or forums.

    so they did not have to re log in, allowing them to post and comment while the outage was about.
