PlayStation Store Re-Opening This Week

News
Twitter facebook googlebuzz

Despite today as being the original planned "full restoration" date - the PlayStation Store and several other Sony services still aren't back online as a result of the PSN Outage from the hacker attack.  All isn't lost though as Sony has assured us that the services will be back online before the week's end in all territories.  Its a good thing too, it would have made for an awkward E3 press conference next week.

Here's what should be online before the weekend.

• Full functionality on PlayStation®Store
• In-game commerce
• Ability to redeem vouchers and codes
• Full functionality on Music Unlimited powered by Qriocity for PS3, PSP, VAIO and  other PCs
• Full functionality on Media Go

So while it looks like this week's normal PS Store Tuesday won't happen, expect one later this week - hopefully loaded with co-op content.  You'll also be able to redeem your "Welcome Back" games at that time as well.

Finally! I think I will end up snagging D&D:D and I also need to finally purchase the codes to transfer all my RB songs to RB3.

Now watch as the network fails under the strain of 30 million users on 77 million accounts trying to freedem (that was intentional) their games.

BigBadBob - you might want to read some more reviews for D&DD before buying that one. I tried the demo and I added it to my buy list. I read some more reviews recently and I changed my mind on it. The metacritic score is below 50 so I am going to pass on it.

Agreed. You'd have to be a pretty serious D&D fan to enjoy Daggerdale.

I tried out the demo on the 360 today and was pleased with what I saw, though the trial game was ridiculously short. The game does appear to be more in-depth which could be good, and I do see myself playing through the game with all the characters. I did see some of the glitches, mainly the game "breaking" at the top of the screen when I moved the camera (but at least I had control of the camera) and the game froze for a good thirty seconds when I went to accept the first quest from the first dwarf.

If the demo has flaws, I'm sure the full game will to. But I think the overall game experience will be worth the bugs. I mean, I loved playing through Fallout 3 and Fallout: New Vegas despite all the bugs, glitches, and game freezes I encountered with New Vegas in particular. What it comes down to is that a good ol' hack-and-slash dungeon crawler is one of my favorite genre of games, and it is hard for me to resist one, particularly when it offers such in-depth RPG goodness.

I stopped at Target on my way home and picked up a $50 PSN card so I can get to downloading stuff once the store is back on. After what happened, there's no way I'm leaving my CC information with them...I'd rather grab a PSN card when I need it from a retailer.
