This is getting beyond a joke now, their PSN login to change password is still not up!

Does anyone know if it is possible to copy my GT5 save to a new profile? I have a new profile with a login that i can use to play online as its a new one, but im having problems getting GT5 to read my save (From the other profile that cant get online) on that profile, seems like it doesnt want to do it??

Have you tried backing up the saves and then restoring it with the new profile?

still waiting for e-mail, lol

and more news
Sony has suffered yet another attack on their systems, this time the perpetrator has stole points from customers virtual accounts worth $1,225. So-Net the internet service provider for Sony's online offerings alerted customers to the breach informing them that the point exchange service is closed and urging the changing of passwords. No customer data is thought to have been lost at this time.

I cannot sign in either, hope this isn't going to be down for long.

Edit: just managed to sign in now.

Is the mothafuggin Store up yet?

Twentyone · 29 May 2011 at 16:25

Nope. No store yet.

Jase · 29 May 2011 at 17:08

Just wish they'd give us some update on when the store will return, everyone seems to be counting on Tuesday but i get the impression Sony are just keeping quiet and hoping more people dont jump ship. Hope I'm wrong but I have a feeling Tuesday will come and go with no store and if we get any update it will be as vague as the last...

buchtis · 29 May 2011 at 17:36

One thing i've noticed from this fiasco is that Sony are incapable of good public relations.

Maccy · 30 May 2011 at 20:48

I still can't change my password. This is useless.

Twentyone · 30 May 2011 at 20:51

Not even on the site? :/ I've changed mine twice (forgot the new one..) and had no hassle.

Have to call Sony then I guess.

Noticed tonight you hadn't been on since the partial resumption of service, that explains why then.

Tokyo, May 31, 2011 - Sony Corporation and Sony Computer Entertainment (SCE) announced today that 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. The company will also resume Music Unlimited powered by Qriocity™ for PlayStation®3 (PS3®), PSP® (PlayStation®Portable), VAIO and other PCs. Details for Japan, Hong Kong, and South Korea as well as the remaining services on Qriocity will be announced as they become available.

The company implemented considerable security enhancements to the network infrastructure, as well as conducted testing of the payment process and commerce functions. The first phase of PlayStation Network and Qriocity restoration began on May 15 in the Americas and Europe/PAL territories, followed by Japan and Asian countries and regions on May 28, when the company brought partial services back online. With this partial restoration users were able to access to some of the services such as online game play, account management, friend lists and chat functionality were restored. The full restoration of PlayStation Network as well as part of services to become available on Qriocity will include:

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

Customers can now purchase and download games and video content from the PlayStation®Store on PS3 or PSP. In addition, consumers will have full access to Music Unlimited powered by Qriocity through PS3, PSP, VAIO and other PC’s. Service restoration of Video on Demand powered by Qriocity™ and Music Unlimited powered by Qriocity for a variety of network-enabled Sony devices will be announced later.

“We have been conducting additional testing and further security verification of our commerce functions in order to bring the PlayStation Network completely back online so that our fans can again enjoy the first class entertainment experience they have come to love,” said Kazuo Hirai, Executive Deputy President, Sony Corporation. “We appreciate the patience and support shown during this time.”

That statement is a bit misleading. You can purchase stuff now but not until the end of the week? (I just tried it to check - PS Store is still off).
