Reactivation of PlayStation Network, completed early this morning for all of North America, is now proceeding in Europe, New Zealand, Australia, Mexico and South America, PlayStation Europe said through its official Twitter moments ago.
When PSN service is restored, users must change their account passwords. Sony has posted guides for PS3 and PSP users on how to complete the process.

Any word yet on the choice of free games we get? Are they available on the store yet, or coming later?

Monday, May 16, 2011 at 8:43 AMIt was working for me after 5am this morning but now when I am trying to get back on I get the ‘system undergoing maintenance’ message……. AGAIN!!
What a joke.

Monday, May 16, 2011 at 9:23 AMIt is working for me now. I’m not bothered if it goes up and down a bit in the next 48 hours, you would expect some hassles when bringing such a behemoth up from scratch.
Seriously, this could have happened to *any* company, and I’m glad it happened in a way, it will make a lot of companies out there who may have made cuts to IT spending and gotten lax with security really lift their game, and at least Sony took the whole damn thing down until it was fixed, rather than bringing it up half arsed.

Monday, May 16, 2011 at 9:34 AMWell at least I’m not the only one who’s had this happen.
Might be because this isn’t the PS3 I created my account on.

Monday, May 16, 2011 at 10:57 AMOK, so here’s what I’ve tried so far to give all of you Aussies an update:
1. Tried signing in/resetting password on console. Either get “Undergoing Maintenance” message or error code.
2. Tried signing in/resetting password via PC online. Either browser connection times out or get grey “Under Maintenance” screen.
3. Tried signing in/resetting password via iPhone app. Same result as above.
At this stage, looks like everything is still down, despite some people reporting it being up a couple of hours ago.
