PLAYSTATION NETWORK BACK ONLINE
After suffering a personal data attack affecting 77 million users, including stolen credit card numbers, the Playstation Network is not only involved in a $1 billion lawsuit in Canada, but has a lot to answer for in US courts.
After suffering a massive outage, the Playstation network is back online, reports gaming enthusiast blog Mastegar. Now before you get your hopes up, it is important to note that most, not all, of the PSN features are actually running at the moment.
Mastegar reports that while the Playstation network is back online, there will be an order by which the functions will be activated, For starters, Sony advises that they will provide online gameplay for PlayStation 3 and PSP and access to account management features sometime this week, but features like downloadable games-shop won't be available until later this month. Furthermore in a means to apologize for the PSN network being down, Sony is giving users 30 free days each PlayStation Plus premium services, as well as some free downloadable content.
Lastly, all PlayStation 3 users are required to download a system update and change their passwords on the original PlayStation console.
This is basically the roll out order for the features of the Playstation network: Restore the online game through the PlayStation 3 and PSP systems; Access to Music Unlimited by Qriocity for PS3/PSP powered to existing subscribers; Access to account management and password reset; Access to the threat of movie rentals on PS3, PSP and MediaGo Download; PlayStation Home; List of friends; and lastly Chat functionality.
