    The day many of us have been looking forward to is finally upon us. Over the past 24 hours, the PSN has been slowly restored across the United States. According to the map provided on the official PS3 Blog, we can now report that the PSN has been fully restored to the entire United States. Please note there are no solutions for getting online with custom firmware and users will have to update to the official 3.61 firmware to get online at this time (an option we don't recommend).

    Attachment 1206

    Thank you for your patience and encouragement over the last few weeks. As covered in the post from earlier today, you can now update the firmware on your PS3 and change your password. Kazuo Hirai just announced that we have begun the phased restoration by region of some of the services, starting with online multiplayer functionality.



    Please note that these services will take a bit of time to be turned on and rolled out to the whole country. The process has begun and some states are being turned on now, so please be patient as we reach your city and state. We’ll be updating the map below as service comes online in individual states. It will take several hours to restore PSN throughout the entire country, so please keep checking back for the latest updates. In the meantime, now’s a great time to get your PS3’s firmware updated, which is required to get online.

      The map does not seem to mean much because its been Green here for the last 18 hours and PSN is still down for maintenance.

      was it just me or did anybody else feel like they were exploring an empty police station in tokyo and looking for monsters when they heard the music in Kazuo Hirai's office

      A simple spoof won't work. You should know this from when the 3.60 spoof stopped working.

      Not sure why people are getting excited over a 3.61 CFW which they seem to think is coming out today. Has been over 12 hours since you guys posted about it and it is still not here despite claims of it being released within a few hours... Don't expect it any time soon since it seems all the people capable of making it aren't interested.

      Is there any way to proxy access to the PS Store for non-US users?
      I tried accessing the store through my US account and it doesn't work, is the store even working for you guys in the US?

      Hint for 3.55 users.

      vsh patch + new passphrase = online on np.

      You may expect something.
