Sony did say that you'll only be able to re-activate (which ALL PSN users will have to do when it goes back online) their user names via the same console it was created on, or with a valid email address.

Not sure I understand the valid email address as that's what the hackers stole!!!

So your saying basically the gamer tag I've had for the last 3/4 years won't work because I have a new ps3? I really hope that's wrong....

Well they did say a valid email address will do (presumably the one your PSN account is link to).

But as I say, email addresses were stolen, and if people use the same password for their email as they do for PSN then they'll be a bit scuppered.

My PSN account was *created* 3 years ago on a fat PS3, but I've been *using* for 1.5 years on a slim as the fat one died!!!

Suppose we'll see in a few days #-o

Rumor has it the PSN isn't coming back online till the end of the month. They're stringing it along "just 2 more days" to try and stop
people trading their consoles in for an Xbox.

May 31st, say Sony


Although that's for the complete service as-was, so there'll be bits and pieces brought back into service over the coming weeks.

Coming back :thumleft:

http://blog.eu.playstation.com/
Thank you for your patience and encouragement over the last few weeks. As covered in the post from earlier today, you can now update the firmware on your PS3 and change your password. Kazuo Hirai just announced that we have begun the phased restoration by region of some of the services, starting with online multiplayer functionality.

Please note that these services will take a bit of time to be turned on and rolled out to the whole region. The process has begun and some countries are being turned on now, so please be patient as we reach you.

In the meantime, now’s a great time to get your PS3′s firmware updated and change your password, both of which are required to get online.

I think the network was taken offline again Sunday night as it was overloaded with traffic. I was playing up till about 8pm don't know if it actually did go off but it's mentioned in the press today that it was overloaded and shut down again.

So, what are we all getting as our game freebies? I'm having LBP and Infamous myself as I never got round to buying them since I don't usually game on my PS3.
