PlayStation Network Service Restoration Begins Now
It looks like the long wait is nearly over – Sony will begin restoring PlayStation Network services around the world over the next 24 hours. A new PS3 firmware update is already available and will be required to connect to the network when it finally does come back online in your location (SCEA is maintaing a service map for U.S. users here). Everyone will, of course, be prompted to change their PSN passwords upon signing in. Watch the video above from Sony president Kazuo Hirai for more information.

I just started getting the error msg. Before the msg said an e-mail was being sent to me instructing how to change my password. I’m in Toronto, Canada.

Back up in Stuttgart, Germany! But no real GT5 updates, other than new online dealership offerings. Was hoping to be surprised with something new for all our waiting. Oh well.
