Sony’s PSN is getting a name change in the next update

Sony have just announced that all PlayStation Network accounts will no longer be called the above and instead named Sony Entertainment accounts. The company have explained that the reason for this change is to simply put gaming with other entertainment and media services offered by the Japanese company.

Sony PlayStation Network and PlayStation Store Issues

More issues with Sony’s PSN and PlayStation Store causing a delay on getting back online for users.

I’m sad to post that there have been more issues reported with Sony’s PlayStation Network (PSN) and the PlayStation Store, the problem has resulted in users not being able to update their security details, get their free games or use PSN. This isn’t looking good for Sony!

The screen many of you would have seen appear is the one pictured above pointing out to you that there is currently a maintenance issue causing the server to be down. All of the hype last week with the re-launch of the PSN, the chance to update your security details and manage to get your hands on your free games through the PlayStation Store doesn’t look good at all at the moment.

This is what was said in the PlayStation blog: 

“Sony Network Entertainment International (SNEI, the company) will fully restore all PlayStation Network services in the Americas, Europe/PAL territories and Asia, excluding Japan, Hong Kong, and South Korea by the end of this week.”

So, you have a little longer to wait before you can get back online with PSN, update your security details and get your free games whilst Sony fix the security vulnerability. What’s your views on the current issue? Let me know by clicking comments.

Sony PlayStation Network back online

Sony’s PlayStation (PSN) network is back online for some countries.

Today sees the day of the PSN set to go back online for Japan, Taiwan, Singapore, Malaysia, Indonesia and Thailand.

The PSN attack took place a month ago and since then the PSN has been offline for a month, very frustrating to avid gamers. This week has seen it go back online for some of us. Well now Sony have revealed a a new list of countries in which can expect the return of the PSN. If you live in the above countries you should be able to use your PSN again along with Sony’s Qriocity movie and music streaming service.

Also, as a thank you from Sony for your extreme patience you will be offered  welcome back games from the Japanese company, Sony which you will able to play on your PS3 and PSP consoles.
