Error Code (aka The Great PSN Easter Outage of 2011) - Part 1

[Kryptonian Warrior]

Anybody else having trouble adding funds to their wallet?

I bought the Crysis 2 map pack this morning without a hitch. What kind of problems were you having?

 

[Soapy]

I keep getting errors when I try to access any of the welcome back stuff. They're probably getting slammed at the moment.

 

[KALEL114]

Yeah, I am going to give it a few hours. They are getting hit pretty hard I would imagine.

They keep saying that they can't add funds.

Then when I try to go and check my account info they say my password is invalid, which it can't be, cuz I'm already signed in.

 

[Benstamania]

I'm just kind of paranoid that I screwed something up... Hence why nothing downloaded.

 

[Electro UK]

Check downloads on the store, Ben. Otherwise look at the comments on the blog, the mods gave some instructions there.

I noticed they were up before the blog announced, so I got navigated with ease.

 

[Benstamania]

Thank, went to the blog and found my answer.

Press circle to go back and select your first free gameReturn to the Welcome Back page and select ?Welcome Back Free PS3 Game 2? and click on ?Get Now?Press circle to go back and select your second free gameGo to the XMB(tm) to play your free games.

Make sure to complete the download of each title all the way otherwise you?ll have to go into account management>transaction management>services list>SCEA Promotions to download the games.

Hope that helps.? Kristi17

So I got my US downloads going, but my UK account doesn't give me the free game options anymore.

 

[Donut]

**** I am getting error has occurred now

 

[KALEL114]

Yeah, the servers are getting crushed. I think I got lucky.

 

[Donut]

Why can't we just pick our downloads & download them ? Why the **** is ****ing Sony making us go through hoops & making us download something extra ? **** you ****ing Sony

 

[KALEL114]

I suggest you just take a few hours and try then. No need to get an aneurism over it. LOL.

 

[Donut]

Sony added not needed steps to just piss everyone off. Now that everyone is trying to download the stupid ****ing Welcome Back crap we have to download its not working. Real smart Sony. Real ****ing smart

 

[Electro UK]

Yes, Sony just did this to "piss everyone off" hahahaha. The servers are fecking up because there's a lot of people on them. Chill the hell out.

 

[Dark_Lord]

Worked fine for me. Just got inFamous and Ratchet & Clank. Just waiting for them to finish downloading.

 

[Donut]

Is anyone else missing their free PS3 games options ? ****ing great

Yes, Sony just did this to "piss everyone off"

Indeed

Damn dude, you really need to chill. It's really not that serious. What happens when too many cars are travelling down a two lane highway? It causes a slow down or a traffic jam. I assure that's all that's going on here. Give it some time, let things settle before going postal. Relax!

That's what I had to do because as of now the store sucks & hey how do we get the free Home items ? Or are they not activated yet ?

 

[Benstamania]

I picked LBP and ModNation for PSP.... I don't have a PSP but hey, maybe the Vita (Worst name EVER) will be BC.

 

[Donut]

I got Infamous downloading but will probably pick Wipeout as my second game

 

[Havok83]

thats been happening to me ever since before this whole thing happened. I can only use PSN cards

So I got my US downloads going, but my UK account doesn't give me the free game options anymore.

i don't think the uk ones are up yet, but has it been confirmed you can get both

also any word on when ps+ kicks in

 

[KALEL114]

I went to the UK first and they showed up. Then I went to the US and got my games. Went back to the UK store and the games are gone from it. I wonder if anyone else had luck with it.

Downloaded PSP games will be BC with the NGP. I'm not calling it that other name. lol.
