Everybody posting on the Sony US blog are being called by the same user name, this might be a sign theres a problem with something.. or just a minor glitch…but the restoration seams like it stopped or at the very least slowed down. Either way it’s kinda weird to see every post by the same person.

just a glitch they have turned the comments of to fix it.

The update is there but (in the UK at least) the Playstation Network is still currently undergoing maintenance.
