PSN Down, Sony Investigating

Tuffcub 47 Comments

It comes as no surprise that the PSN has buckled under the numbers of new PlayStation 4’s going online and is currently “undergoing maintenance”.

Frankly I’m kicking myself for not nipping down the bookies and putting twenty quid on this happening.

Also – and I do not want to cause a panic, this is just an observation – I know three people who have got borked PS4s, Teflon and 3 Shirts from TSA lucked out, as did my friend Anis. That does seem a rather high number.

We shall let you know when the PSN is back, assuming the staff can be ripped away from their shiny new boxes.

  1. Works fine for me. Is it just not working for people who haven’t managed to signin with their PS4 yet if that makes sense

    • As in people who managed to sign in earlier this morning dont have a problem? I know what I mean anyway :)

  2. Shame to hear guys are having some issues with their hardware. The PSN has been a bit flaky today but I was able to get it all updated as I would hope just after midnight. This morning logging out was my prime mistake but managed to be back in through the day.

  3. Not even taken mine out the box yet. Not got anything to play!

  4. Got mine at 10 this morning and have downloaded over 150gb of data from psn store with no issues. When it works it works brilliantly.

    Would be proper naffed off if my ps4 was broke though

  5. Just as I predicated months ago. This is Sony’s own fault for not increasing the amount of servers for psn. When yoshida was asked about increasing psn servers who wouldn’t answer the question.
    Playstation 4. 4 the scratchers

  6. I haven’t tried logging in today, kind of expected this to happen. But also expect this to be almost 100% resolved by tomorrow.
    But I don’t have a PS4 so whatevs. :(

  7. Had mine since 1pm and had a couple of hours without PSN due to sign in problems. But all is fine now and loving everything about it so far! Had downloads stop a couple of time I assume due to server overload or similar though. Anyone know if it’s possible to pause downloads cos that’s annoying me at the moment??

  8. Could be a regional thing or just a PS4 setup thing. PSN in the US seems solid.

  9. I’ve managed to get around the PSN problems. You see Amazon failed to deliver my PS4 to me today. Made it on to the wrong lorry so went to the wrong courier apparently. They have no idea where it has ended up but whoever has it ‘should’ fulfil the delivery still but when that will be who knows. I was told that 3 people had this problem today but their parcels turned up eventually anyway. So it turns out I’m the only person in the UK not to have received my PS4 from Amazon, they told me as much! What are the odds eh.

    But of course by the time it gets to me the PSN problems will be a thing of the past, setup will be a breeze. Lucky me eh.

    Anyway I’m going to bed now, crying, having observed far too much of #PS4share on twitter than I think is healthy in my position.

  10. Got mine from Asda and was home at 12:20 Friday morning. It’s amazing but I haven’t touched it since 15:30 yesterday. Everything seemed fine then. Mine is in a cabinet with all my AV kit. It was running really loud, and the light strip went orange/yellow for a bit. Is that bad? Visuals on KZ are simply breathtaking at points.

    • Orange / red lights are telling you that it is over heating
