What kind of information do you have to give? I got the email but haven't read it in detail. I assume you have to give this company all your personal info too.

Wasn't missing the store, was just happy to get PSN back. Though I guess now there's going to be a bit of traffic for the free games.

Sony attackers now have a name and LulzSec promise more Sony attacks:

“We’re going to blast more holes in Sony and leak their booty,” Whirlpool said, adding that the attack would not be as big as the theft in March of personal and financial details of more than 100,000 PlayStation Network user accounts, “but certainly a lot bigger than what we did to Sony Japan.” And there’s more swagger: a few hours ago @LulzSec tweeted, “Hey @Sony, you know we’re making off with a bunch of your internal stuff right now and you haven’t even noticed? Slow and steady, guys.”

People blame and blame Sony but they didn't ask to get hacked. These retarded hackers are the problem, thinking they can use their terrorist acts into getting what they want. If they don't like something, they're going to hack into it and steal all the personal info.

 

[R Nilla]

Store is up!

 

[mmntech]

How many Baud is it running at? lol. I'll bet it's grinding to a halt with everyone grabbing the freebies.

 

[ZOOYUKA]

When can we start downloading the free games?

 

[American Gunner]

I signed onto the store, and the free games weren't up yet.

I keep getting an error when I try to go to the PSN store. Anyone else?

Edit: I'm getting the same error when trying to access Account Management.

The error code is 80023102.

 

[Crow550]

I was able to get Back To The Future The Game: Episode 3. Just keep exiting and re-entering the section giving you an error. Annoying but it works.
