The_B_Man · 15-05-2011 8:40pm

Zatoichi · 15-05-2011 8:50pm

PSN site still saying it's down for maintenance for others? http://ie.playstation.com/psn/

Kersmash · 15-05-2011 9:02pm

I had 21 people on my friends list online there. Thats the most it's been in ages!

So glad to have it back.

Corkfeen · 15-05-2011 9:02pm

I got as far as the option to change my password and while changing it. It went down again.:eek: Rather annoyed that i've had to wait a month to activate my portal 2 copy on steam. :mad:

matchthis · 15-05-2011 9:09pm

My friends email account that his psn account is linked to is no longer acive. Anyone know of another way he can reset his password?

NeVeR · 15-05-2011 9:09pm

I'm getting error 80710d36 when I try to log in. I did the update earlier.

I tried the forgot password thing but get the same error !!!!

guil · 15-05-2011 9:10pm

chris1970 · 15-05-2011 9:16pm

Servers getting overloaded, i am going to switch it off till tomorrow, me sad

Mayo_Boy · 15-05-2011 9:17pm

Same here aswell :mad:
I really wanna play black ops!!!!!!!!!

WolfForager · 15-05-2011 9:21pm

Interesting, getting the error code when trying to change the PW on my USA account, and "PSN is undergoing maintenance" when i try my Hong Kong account.

Gunmonkey · 15-05-2011 9:33pm

Got the error message but waited a minute and tried again and it worked, just the servers are being overloaded so its a patience thing.

Now if only I knew my USA account password

guil · 15-05-2011 9:34pm

i'm getting the maintenance message again

As am I

ComeraghBlue · 15-05-2011 9:37pm

Stopped working just now saying down for maintenance

WolfForager · 15-05-2011 9:39pm

Yea, i think reinstating mainland europe as one may have been a mistake, should have staggered it more.

The Shtig · 15-05-2011 9:42pm

Hopefully this will be the last 'down for maintenance' message we'll see for a while.

cabrwab · 15-05-2011 9:44pm

Was still down earlier for me, no password reset email or anything yet.
Can't sign in at all.
So they couldn't handle the volume they'd get today!

Pretty big failure on sony's part

enviro · 15-05-2011 9:44pm

Any hope for tonight?

BoDiddly · 15-05-2011 9:47pm

Just wondering, is 50MB broadband good enough to have a good connection online for FIFA and Black Ops, or would I need 100MB?

I was playing Black Ops earlier and my connection was on one bar for the whole time and I couldn't do anything and it was pissing me off.

Headshot · 15-05-2011 9:58pm

What is your ping?

johnny_ultimate · 15-05-2011 10:03pm

Has anyone reactivated their Japanese account yet, what's the procedure? I'm a wee bit concerned because email address I used isn't active / may not have existed in the first place.

I have 30meg(getting 50) and its great, get host most of the time. Make sure you put your Playstation in the DMZ in the router and turn off the firewall.

I'm with Vodafone. I'm planning on moving to UPC -- I'm just deciding whether to go for the 50MB or 100MB broadband.

Word of advice to everyone, stay away from Vodafone. Here's what I'm getting now:

Saruwatari · 15-05-2011 10:14pm

To anyone who's currently playing a game, DON'T BACK OUT OF IT!

I played Black Ops online for an hour or so before quitting it, loading up COD4 and getting a connection error. I'm still logged in thankfully, but I can't play anything online now.

I think this is just happening to the EU region server, none of the Yanks are experiencing any problems.

Well you're actually only dealing with .5MB there :pac: I'm not sure where you're living, but that's pretty shocking speeds (obviously if you're in a rural location that could be all that's available). 1MB would be pretty slow, 3MB would be about average - possibly even higher these days, I'm on 8MB for example and that's far from the fastest available.

Yeah, I'll look into that alright. At the moment, I think we're paying around the same as it is for the 100MB broadband and phone (€47). It's criminal really. Just need to check to see if I'm tied down in a contract with Vodafone.

I living in Ballincollig, so there should be absolutely no problems here. Someone in the UPC broadband thread said his friend is getting 100MB with UPC here, so there's no excuses there.

Thanks lads!

earlyapex · 15-05-2011 10:21pm

hi all,
question.
Do you need to know your password to be able to change it?

Cause I cant remember what mine is.

AIR-AUSSIE · 15-05-2011 10:24pm

^ I didn't anyway.

Seems like there's still teething problems hopefully they'll sorted by tomorrow.
I couldn't get voice chat working in Battlefield. Anyone else have the same problem?
