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

[eternalinferno]

Am I the only one having trouble accessing the store and the welcome back program?

 

[Tron Bonne]

No, you aren't

 

[Superhero 101]

Anyone else having a error code pop up I keep getting 80710D36

 

[Tron Bonne]

Yes, they are.

 

[eternalinferno]

Oh hell no, why does it seem like I was just cheated out of my 2nd free game....WTF!

 

[ProjectPat2280]

I think I own every copy of Ghostbusters out there... the rest? lol.

Haha yea iv got 3 copies of that movie. 2 DVD copies and one blu ray copy.

Also, to hell with that error message.

 

[Harriet Tubman]

If you lose the selection for the free game(s), do this:

Account Management > Transaction Management > Services List Choose "PlayStation Network Promotions

They will show up there. It happened to me earlier today.

 

[ProjectPat2280]

Damn, that error message stopped popping up long enough for me to get to the selection of games then it popped up again. Conflabbit!!!

 

[eternalinferno]

Thanks, I'll try that later cause right now I just keep getting error messages, at least I already have infamous downloading

 

[ProjectPat2280]

Ah success! I was able to start the download for inFamous before the messages came back. Now just to wait the 2 hours while it downloads

 

[Kryptonian Warrior]

I am going to be getting LBP, since I have never played it, and Dead Nation. I just platinumed inFamous, so there's no point in getting that one. I already have Super Stardust HD and I have no interest in Wipeout HD. I just couldn't get into it. Just curious though, Anyone know how big the LBP download is?

I really do think that the reason many people are getting these errors is because of the HUGE amount of traffic that is hitting the servers. Patience is a virtue, people! t:

 

[the_ultimate_evil]

any word on multiple accounts?

 

[Kryptonian Warrior]

I would think if it's coming from the same IP Address, then it won't be allowed, but I could be completely wrong though. Just a guess though.

 

[Anubis]

I think I'm just gonna wait until next week to do this s**t. Seems like a waste of time if 70 million other people are trying to do it at the same time, causing everything to be f**ked up.

In the meantime, I can find out wtf is going on with me not being able to access my account.

 

[KALEL114]

On top of this, there is a new Store update today as well. I just added it to the PSN thread.

Do you have your password saved, so that when you turn your PS3 on, it automatically logs into the PSN? If so, are you absolutely 100% positive you remember what you set your PW to when you were forced to change it a couple of weeks ago?

 

[Anubis]

Yeah, I mean, I'm already signed in. I don't even see why I even have to put it in again at all. Unless they're still going by my old password from before I had to change it.

 

[Kryptonian Warrior]

Right. You are already signed in, but you have always had to input your PW before accessing your account. I know it's annoying, but it's just the way it is. The PW to access your account is the same as the one that you use to access the PSN. A good way to test it is to go online and try logging in online. In fact, I believe you can add funds from there, although I'm not entirely positive about that.

I keep getting that error and I got it twice when I hit the download on the two games I wanted and now the Services List work around doesn't even work because it says 0 Remaining. So I think I'm screwed over for my two games. Thanks Sony.

Edit: Nevermind, I found a way around it (hopefully). If that happens to you then just go to Download List instead of Services List and you should be able to download them again. It seems to be working for me Infamous is at 1%.

 

[black_dust]

People should have really waited until the traffic died down before attempting to download. If you get an error just by signing into the store you can tell something isn't quite stable. Im just going to wait a few days

 

[Soapy]

I accidentally downloaded Super Stardust HD. :[

Eh, I got error codes but getting everything into the download stage only took like 5 minutes.

 

[the_ultimate_evil]

I accidentally downloaded Super Stardust HD. :[

how the hell did you do that

 

[Soapy]

how the hell did you do that

I guess by not paying close enough attention. I started my download of Wipeout, went away from my PS3, and when I came back, it turned out that I downloaded Super Stardust instead. Oh well. If it's like Geometry Wars, I'm sure I'll like it.

 

[O'Haire]

Downloading Infamous now. Taking forever lol.

After that I will probably get Dead Nation.

Did anyone check out the free rental movies they offered? What a disappointing list:

Ghostbusters
Final Fantasy: The Spirits Within
Bad Boys

Really disappointing.

I own Ghostbusters. Don't give a crap about the other two.
