    Yup. It's live. And it totally doesn't work! Hooray for Sony! They managed to bork this as well.
    I know - what the fuck.  You'd think they would fucking realize they are going to get hammered as soon as it comes back up and prepare for it.  But nope, slow as shit, glitchy as hell, and straight up not working.  Great.

    Thank you! That's what I've been trying to say. It seems they'd rather alienate every one of their customers by making them find a work-around besides actually trying to fix the problem themselves.

    Also, I'm glad I went with inFamous and Dead Nation and not inFamous and LittleBigPlanet. I would imagine it would be next week before both of those games finished downloading.

    Yeah... I got InFamous to FINALLY start downloading after doing some dumb shit work-around after 30 minutes, and now I can't get into the PSN Store at all to get the others claimed, and I can't get to the Services List to claim my other PSP game.  I'll just fucking wait a couple days.

    I'm actually pretty glad they waited a day to release the Welcome Back Program because I downloaded a good number of things yesterday and I'd be pretty pissed if I couldn't play Wizardry or use my costumes in SSF4 :p

    I'm in the same situation as most people in here though. I managed to download the PSN+ but could not get the first PS3 game which would have been Dead Nation. It just kept telling me that the content wasn't available or it gave me an error code. After constantly trying to download I was kicked out of the store and I can't get back in lol. No love lost here though, I'll just wait until later today and play Wizardry in the meantime.

    Welcome Back! to this horribly bug-filled, annoyance of a service, coupled with a slow dashboard, horrid download times, and inconsistent uptime. I'm sorry, I'm not normally one to fuel console fanboyism (I mean, I've got everything: an Xbox 360, a Wii, a PS3, a Mac, a PC...), but welcoming me back to this 'mess' reaffirms my stance on Sony's services: a waste of time. If it weren't for a swath of excellent first party titles--arguably the best exclusive line-up of this generation--I wouldn't even own this machine. 
     
    Apparently there are multiplatform owners who play all their games on PS3 when available. These people must be insane. I don't understand it.  
     
    Grr. I'm angry.

    PSN appears to have just collapsed and died of an anyeurism.

    Anyone else getting the 80710D36 error. I'm in Norway btw.

    Yes, I'm getting it too in Canada. Getting it when I try to access the store, and when I try to access account management.

    I'm just going to give it a day or two, I think. Kind of insane that Sony didn't prepare themselves for the level of traffic they had to know they'd be getting. And now their paying customers can't even access to store to buy other stuff, haha.
