As promised, and after over a month of downtime following attacks by hackers, Sony’s PlayStation Network has now returned to full operability.
This means that not only can players engage in multiplayer, but you can finally once again access things like the PlayStation Store as well.

Thursday, June 2, 2011 at 3:33 PMIts still throwing up errors like mad but its distinct progress. Chances are its an eager fan based DDOS with everyone looking for their free stuff
Any word on how that’ll be redeemed?

Thursday, June 2, 2011 at 3:50 PMYeah still getting a few random errors in store but I’ve managed to get 4 demos on the DL. Infamous 2 yeah!

Thursday, June 2, 2011 at 4:55 PMFree Burnout Paradise for plus members. Wow. Free Pain. Free Magic The Gathering. Wow. Just a few errors like everyone says
matt
Thursday, June 2, 2011 at 5:10 PMgot the error code, has it crashed already, or just filled with everyone downloading at the same time?
Tanner
Thursday, June 2, 2011 at 5:49 PMIt’s the later. I’ve noticed errors in some higher volume areas such as demos and add-ons and less drag in themes.
Mase
Thursday, June 2, 2011 at 5:46 PMThere are a lot of “excess server load” errors at the moment with millions of people playing catch up on content. You can either keep trying or wait a day or so for things to calm down
The “Welcome Back” package is NOT available yet. Which sucks but I’m guessing we’ll have it by the end of next week. I hope we get the Duke Nukem demo next week

Thursday, June 2, 2011 at 6:19 PMHow do I get my free games? Also my ps store keeps getting connection time out errors.
yew
Thursday, June 2, 2011 at 6:54 PMthey havent put that part up yet. You may have noticed that the content promised as part of the Welcome Back offer is not yet live,” said Chen. “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.”

Thursday, June 2, 2011 at 7:41 PMThank christ for that!
Just jumped on and grabbed all my free PS+ goodies.. Man, Burnout Paradise is such an awesome thing to give away, shame i’ve already got it.. And what a coincidence seeings as i started playing through it again around a week ago..
Already grabbed the new demos (except inFamous2.. never really got into the franchise)..
And last but not least, just bought Outland and it’s installing as i’m typing this.. Really looking forward to that one..
LeviiStar
Thursday, June 2, 2011 at 8:03 PMI’m with you on that one. Burnout Paradise is brilliant! I’ve got it on Xbox but will definitely be picking up the PS3 seeing as it’s free! =D

Thursday, June 2, 2011 at 8:19 PMNaturally the one thing to soften the blow of having the PSN down is not there. The welcome back pack. Honestly some serious morons must be working at Sony. The one thing you don’t do to a bunch of angry impatient gamers is promise something and then not deliver it at launch/relaunch. I have a bad taste in my mouth Sony. It will be a long time till i buy next PS3 game, i can assure you of that.

Thursday, June 2, 2011 at 8:57 PMJust sell your ps3 man. Sounds like life is way too hard for you. Whinge bag.

Friday, June 3, 2011 at 6:33 AMCould you imagine how much more the servers would be clogged if they pushed the welcome back package live right away?
Think about it.
