But either way, their reputation and the benefits of a free service are permanently borked after this. I don't expect their brand image to recover quickly.

Tis' a shame, because PSN has never given me one ounce of trouble. Sure, XBL's updates are smooth as silk in comparison to Sony's 20 minute installs (which are inexcusable), but functionality wise, I've never had a problem. I hope they recover from this.

Could very well have been on the disc, was just strange that it said sign in successful and I hadn't loaded a game but I haven't used it in a while so could be just the way it is. Then loaded the game and had another update but that was off the disc for sure was downloaded instantly. Either way 2 free games would be nice for sure. Hopefully they have worthy options, but free is free like you said. I will still be using their service for any shooters I can't play online for xbox, and like tmb said for what I used it for the online service was good. Nothing amazing but from friends that have ps3 and black ops they were having better luck server wise but that aint xbox live fault. I am hoping they can bounce back but it will for sure be a hard task to complete.

the Playstation network is back online.

The store is still down so the welcome back packages haven't started yet , but you can log in and play online.

*That Matt Guy* · 05-15-2011, 06:59 AM

They finally fixed it, or at least partially. Still no sign of all that junk Sony is supposedly going to hand out though.

*AT-Man* · 05-15-2011, 10:46 AM

I couldn't log in yet, but could update system.

well you have to update before you log in , the update makes it mandatory that you change your pw so you have to have it first

*TheCanadiandrome* · 05-15-2011, 01:44 PM

haven't run the update yet, but will do so later

Volvagia · 05-15-2011, 02:25 PM

It's finally up in Sweden, now comes the wait for the store to go online.

*Ninjinister* · 05-15-2011, 04:20 PM

The store's the only thing I care about, dammit.

Volvagia · 05-15-2011, 04:59 PM

Same here, I never play online.

Rewards program detailed. Consider me satisfied. I'll probably take Ratchet & Clank along with one other. I love Infamous, but it's the only game on the list I HAVE beaten, so I feel like I should go with something else.

*TheCanadiandrome* · 05-16-2011, 07:57 PM

i think i'll go with a PSP game.

hey, has anyone else gotten an error message when they try to do the System Update? i've gotten errored out 3 times and it's pissin me off, u can't get the update. going to contact tech support me thinks

*JameO* · 05-16-2011, 09:18 PM

Not a problem with updating and been playing SOCOM smoothly online. And if that goes live with those games thats a sweet deal. Maybe not great for people that have had a play through those games but Infamous was one I wanted to give a try and I have never even played little big planet (yes sad I know). So would be sweet if I could get both of those games.

*TheCanadiandrome* · 05-16-2011, 10:32 PM

well, i'm still not able to update, and according to Sony's Tech Support if i can't get it to work, then i might have to send my PS3 in for repairs!

and that sucks a$$! Sony f*cks up it's online service, then decides to fix it with a Firmware update, and that maybe f*cks up my PS3...way to go Sony

*That Matt Guy* · 05-17-2011, 12:39 AM

Meh, I'm not really interested in any of those games they are offering. I would rather just have store credit.

does anyone know how to fix a PS3 that won't system/firmware update?

*Ninjinister* · 05-18-2011, 06:47 PM

Oh wow, nothing I give a $#!+ about. I'd rather have a choice of PS1 classics.

Wait, is this still the Euro list, or is this the US one?
