Thanks guys! That make sense and hopefully the damm network is up and running soon.

Re: The Official PS3 thread - Encryption? We don't need no stinkin' encryption.
 

I don't know if there are too many people trying to download it, but my download keeps stopping at 23% with an error code of 80710723.. At this point, I dont even care about playing online, I just want to be able to use Netflix on my damn PS3!

Re: The Official PS3 thread - Encryption? We don't need no stinkin' encryption.
 

That might be a netflix issue, netflix works fine for me, was just watching it today.

Re: The Official PS3 thread - Encryption? We don't need no stinkin' encryption.
 

Crap, I'm not even sure if I remember my password - it was automatic on my old PS3.

Re: The Official PS3 thread - Encryption? We don't need no stinkin' encryption.
 

I'm not interested in the Move bundle, but if I was, Best Buy has new ones of those on sale for $349 right now.

Re: The Official PS3 thread - Encryption? We don't need no stinkin' encryption.
 

Update worked for me but the network is still under "maintenance." Maybe tomorrow night...?

Re: The Official PS3 thread - Encryption? We don't need no stinkin' encryption.
 

No idea. I know a few people that are having the same issues as me...

Re: The Official PS3 thread - Encryption? We don't need no stinkin' encryption.
 

LOL ... it's like election night but it looks like online play is soon to come "online"

Play On – PSN Restoration Begins Now

+ Posted by Patrick Seybold // Sr. Director, Corporate Communications & Social Media



Thank you for your patience and encouragement over the last few weeks. As covered in the post from earlier today, you can now update the firmware on your PS3 and change your password. Kazuo Hirai just announced that we have begun the phased restoration by region of some of the services, starting with online multiplayer functionality.

Please note that these services will take a bit of time to be turned on and rolled out to the whole country. The process has begun and some states are being turned on now, so please be patient as we reach your city and state. We’ll be updating the map below as service comes online in individual states. It will take several hours to restore PSN throughout the entire country, so please keep checking back for the latest updates. In the meantime, now’s a great time to get your PS3’s firmware updated and change your password, both of which are required to get online.

Notice: If your state is illuminated but your service has not yet been restored, please be patient – it can take a little while for the servers to populate fully.

by the way "Play On" sounds a lot better than their last campaign, "Play With Yourself"

Re: The Official PS3 thread - Encryption? We don't need no stinkin' encryption.
 

not restored in IL yet but have been reading of reports of other states servers being online

EDIT: east coast is turning green on their map

Re: The Official PS3 thread - Encryption? We don't need no stinkin' encryption.
 

LOL

PSN blog is being hit hard that the following sometimes comes up when trying to access the pg with the map

I was allowed to the change password screen, went to confirm but then it instantly went back to the maintenance screen :lol: good job

NYC here

EDIT: Kept trying, now I'm in, all my friends say they were on 23 days ago. Store is still down but I'm assuming we can play now

Re: The Official PS3 thread - Encryption? We don't need no stinkin' encryption.
 

Now psn blog is down for maintence lol

Re: The Official PS3 thread - Encryption? We don't need no stinkin' encryption.
 

store isn't scheduled to be up and running ... online multiplayer to start

California looks to be online after the upper east coast ... still waiting in IL

Re: The Official PS3 thread - Encryption? We don't need no stinkin' encryption.
 

Same. Are we screwed?

Re: The Official PS3 thread - Encryption? We don't need no stinkin' encryption.
 

Logged in and changed my password, no Playstation Store yet, I am in California...

Re: The Official PS3 thread - Encryption? We don't need no stinkin' encryption.
 

I'm wondering if they'll do like what most web sites would do and send you a password reminder via e-mail?

Re: The Official PS3 thread - Encryption? We don't need no stinkin' encryption.
 

No. It retains your old saved password and the first time you try to log in with it PSN says something to the extent of "password doesn't match, please set a new password."

You then enter your new password twice and are all set to go.

Re: The Official PS3 thread - Encryption? We don't need no stinkin' encryption.
 

Even though SC isn't highlighted on the map, I was able to log on and change my password an' stuff. No store, not surprisingly, but everything else seems fully functional. Didn't actually try playing a game, though.

I didn't have to enter my old password since that was already saved on my PS3. I was just prompted to add a new one.

Re: The Official PS3 thread - Encryption? We don't need no stinkin' encryption.
 

So besides this PSN bullshit, my PS3 dies and even if I BUY a new PS3, I can't transfer over any of the content of my old hard drive over over to the new system. I'm not asking for a handout here - I BUY two of their fucking systems, and I'm the one getting screwed? Fuck you Sony!

wave 3: southeast just highlighted green

NC, SC, GA, FL

Re: The Official PS3 thread - Encryption? We don't need no stinkin' encryption.
 

I went through the same thing when my first PS3 did the whole yellow light thing. It was moderately painless to get all the stuff I downloaded back, and my trophies and stuff remained in place, but I lost all my saves. I didn't have anything in progress (that I was going to go back to, anyway), so it wasn't that big a deal, but I wasn't happy about it. (Losing all my Rock Band stars was a drag, and I'd just gotten all the weapons/armor and maxed everything out in the last Ratchet and Clank game...those I wanted.) I guess I haven't learned my lesson since I haven't been backing up my saves on my new PS3 either.

Re: The Official PS3 thread - Encryption? We don't need no stinkin' encryption.
 

Slop, I hope you didn't earn any tough trophies on your old system after the PSN went offline last month.

Re: The Official PS3 thread - Encryption? We don't need no stinkin' encryption.
 

Same here. Waiting to see if we get a new improved Store once it's up.
