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”.
We are aware some users are experiencing issues logging into PSN on PS4 due to the heavy traffic we are receiving, we're investigating

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.

I did have problems yesterday first Amazon delivered my extra controller at 10.45 from Amazon then Ps4 turned at 1.30 from Amazon. Then problems with my new HDD. I just couldn’t get it to work. So slapped original back in. So that was about 2.30ish.I managed to sign in around 3.30 but kept getting logged Out. By the time I got a game going it was 4.30 then I got a phone call to collect my wife’s car. It was a stressful day to me yesterday but it works fine now.
1 thing I found strange I watched a stream with camera on and stated talking to a friend then the streamer stated chasing to us. It was quite weird.

Got mine set up with new hdd yesterday around lunchtime. Tried to add my account to PS4 and had no joy till gone 8 last night. My downloads were very slow though, so don’t know if it was a PSN problem or my tinternet….probably my shit tinternet. Sorry to hear about the guys with dodgy units. ..hope the get replaced asap. ;)

I’m hoping this will be fixed by the end of January. That’s when I’m going to get mine.
