PlayStation Network Relaunch

[kudi]

It's obvious that they're giving away old games like LBP and Infamous to
people who never owned/played them so they can profit from the gamers
that buy the sequel...hence no dental work in mexico ModNation Racers which was the game I
was hoping to see in the list.

PS3 games? More like PSN/3 Minis and old PS3 games that everyone and
their mom have played.

Also, they stand to make money off people buying add-ons for LBP....

Anyone have any idea when it's going back up? I thought it was before the end of May...and here I am, in June, weeping silently.

^ What that really means is "we have to have it up by the end of the week(end) at the very latest because it would look bad if it's not back by the time we have our pre-E3 press conference next week" :p

[Darkmoon]

Well, at least they're motivated.

The Store's return is nigh.

[PracticalAl]

I wonder if the 'Welcome Back' package will be available right away, or if we'll have to wait?

[Alexia_Ashford]

Dunno if there's any weight to this, but there was a topic on GAF saying the hackers have said "bye Sony" basically and they're "promising" more hacks.

[Rombie]

^ I expected to hear that, but I somehow doubt many people will want to incur the wrath of the large population of PSN users again and the attacks will be focused on other digital aspects of Sony's existance.

I can't entirely trust that the new PSN is any more safe than the previous one but I think that their requirement into traffic tracking and security would be made better enough that hacking it will be harder or give more chance that Sony knows something is going on or to find more info on who.

Think about it, if this person does something and then somehow leaves a trail which gets them caught somehow, even if they can't be convicted because of where they live - if they're finger pointed there will be thousands of people who likely would want to find them in person and kick their ass or worse. They'd have to basically go into hiding for the rest of their lives I'd think.

Considering the backpeddling done by anonymous over their involvement to save face in it, I really can't see someone wanting to try push it. I say this but if people are willing to try and if they're determined enough it'll happen.

its back on, buggy but its back!!

[nemesiswontdie]

Yup, the store is back and it even has RE5 avatars.

[Darkmoon]

Finally. Do we get our Welcome Back shinies, or is that gonna happen once they've finally fixed everything?

You may have noticed that the content promised as part of the Welcome Back offer is not yet live. It is currently in the final stages of testing and will be available to download soon; we’ll be sure to let you know when.

The next PlayStation Store and PlayStation Plus update will be this Friday, June 3, and then we will roll right into some special publishes starting next week for E3 (so be sure to check back daily!).

In the meantime, check out all the new downloadable content on PlayStation Store.


MASSIVE update, as you can imagine. I already started downloading the inFAMOUS 2 demo.
