TSA Staff 33 Comments

After countless wranglings, the PlayStation Network resumes service in Asia as of tomorrow, the 28th of May.

Gamers in Japan, Taiwan, Singapore, Malaysia, Indonesia and Thailand will see the service back up and running, with the first round of reboots including:

  • Sign-in and password change for PSN and Qriocity
  • Friend List, Chat, and Trophies
  • PS3 and PSP online play
  • PlayStation Home
  • Torne

Japanese players will also get their own “Welcome Back” package, being able to choose two games from The Last Guy, Loco Roco, Echochome, Wipeout and Hustler King.  Similar offers are available for PSP gamers.

There’ll also be 30 free days of PlayStation Plus and Platinum membership for the Weekly Toro Station.

  1. I’m away from my PS3 until Tuesday so with any luck the shop will be back up when I get back so I’ll be able to redeem my Dirt3 VIP pass and be able to play online.

  2. Presumably this includes Hong Kong?

  3. FINALLY now I can play in my main account

  4. Anybody else think the welcome back for Aisa is a bit poor compared to what we’re being offered? That Loco Roco PS3 game isn’t even a full game, more an interactive screensaver.

  5. What about malaysia?will it be up to?Anybody got a clue?

    • You might want to re-read the post. :)

  6. YES! Thank you sixth axis, I’ve been checking the blog and here every day for some news on the asian server situation, finally can get back online for some killing!

    I’m assuming HK is included and it was unintentionally left out of the list???

    • ‘Fraid not. The Sony press release contains a note in the small print:

      “Service restoration in Korea and Hong Kong will be announced as soon as ready.”

      • NOooooooooooooooooooo! Thank you though for taking the time to reply :-)
        Now I wonder whether or not China mainland will be able to get on seeing as technically there is no ps3 at all here. Only time will tell.

  7. Any news on the UK?

  8. And indeed psn asia is back here in malaysia, i just signed in 5 mins ago.

  9. Yup still nothing in China :-( damn it.
