LBP: Servers Down

Up and down more than a yo-yo on a bouncy castle, that’s the LittleBigPlanet servers.  The game’s delayed, leaked out, finally gets online and then crashes like a bomb.  The lucky few with the game already might have had online access yesterday, but today it’s an entirely different story as the servers have been down most of the day, and we’ve had reports that the PlayStation Store is also down as a result.

We’ve heard from Media Molecule this afternoon that although the servers are technically ‘running’ there may be some “ongoing configuration work that needs to be carried out in order to keep the sharing side of the game running smoothly”. The guys advise that there may be some limited interruptions to the service as a result, especially over the first few days.

Good job we had that Beta stress test, then.
