PS Store back online

[Smartpal]

The PS store is now back online with a ton of updates. The Welcome Back program isn't up and running though but it will be soon.

Good news: The PlayStation Store is back online in North America! Bad news: There's so much new content that was put out all at once that it's simply overwhelming. Not saying it's bad news for the consumer, but it's just a shame that all these games are basically trampling over each other for proper exposure.

While the Store is back, there might be some spotty issues while the service is fully restored. Destructoid editor Conrad Zimmerman can access only some of the Store content at the moment. You should also know that the Welcome Back freebies aren't online just yet. Grace Chen on the PlayStation Blog states that the free games are "in the final stages of testing and will be available to download soon."

The PlayStation Blog has the full list of new PlayStation Plus content; price changes; new downloadable games for the PS3, PSP and PSP minis; demos; PSone Classics; add-ons; like, a hundred Rock Band songs; music; avatars; and themes. All the games you can fully purchase are listed below so you don't have to sift through it all.

Lets see how long it lasts under the pressure of hackers.

I was thinking much the same thing. Except I think their first problem will be server load, not hackers.

Well, we all know by now how much Sony sucks when it comes to security, and now this big overload could make them more vulnerable to hackers?

Indeed. The Store is throwing an error fairly consistently when you try to do, well...anything. I can't download anything, I can browse some stuff, other times it just errors. Hopefully the rush will slow down soon and it'll be back to working properly.

Yeah I'm getting quite a lot of errors here today. It should settle down in some time.

The question is not how long it took to come back up but how long it'll take to go back down yet again

Awesome to hear but I still can't create a new account, maybe I can remember my old account to reset the password. If not then I shall wait even longer to try psn but until then I still have my 360 at least.
