Sony have confirmed that two major PSN features will remain offline as the PS4 rolls out across Europe in an effort to make sure the service as a whole doesn’t suffer as new players bombard the servers. The two parts of PSN that will be down for a few days are:
- What’s New – This is the section where you can keep up with what your friends are doing while on the PS4.
- Content Information Screen – This relates to title specific information and any things your friends have done while playing a certain game.
This shutdown, which only affects Europe, will not affect the rest of the PSN features such as multiplayer, streaming content, sharing videos, unlocking trophies or communicating with friends.

I dont think many people will be too annoyed about losing features for a couple of days.
Mine arrived at 930 this morning, and I’ve still another 4 hours before I get anywhere near it! Then I have the dilemma of going out for drinks tonight, or having a gaming marathon. Decisions, decisions.

Same here. Been trying to add my PSN Profile for the last 2 hours and can’t get online…done a network check and says my Internet is connected so WTF is wrong is evading me #sigh#

EU blog same thing, network is borked. Prob is if profile isn’t cached I’m assuming if I play killzone and earn trophies they won’t sync as I’m guest1…. Pfft.

Managed to get in and do the update this morning, kicked all my downloads off from my library and eveb got Resogun down and had a quick go a that, then go into work, hoping that some of my games will have downloaded for when I get home, guess this won’t be the case now though.

Good move by Sony i feel. Better too have a consistent service lacking a few features than it dropping service constantly.
