PSN back online in the UK

If you turned on your PS3 today, you would be encouraged to download the latest firmware 3.61. This new software has been released in preparation for the rebirth of PSN, which has just gone back online in the UK, after the US went online earlier yesterday. Other European countries are expected to follow shortly, as Sony rolls the service out across the world.

When users turn on their consoles, they are encouraged to create a new password on the machine they created their ID on. If you’ve swapped your old PS3 for the slim edition then you need to change your password via a Sony website. More details are available via the PlayStation Blog. Finally PS3 users will get to scratch that COD itch that has been plaguing them for over three weeks now.

I've been addicted to gaming since my parents bought an Atari console way back in the 70's. I progressed to the iconic Speccy, Amiga, and all the Playstation platforms. Having seen games evolve from single pixel bat and ball, to HD constructed environments, gaming has changed much from my early years. Having defeated the rock hard R-Type on the Speccy, the biggest challenge I've faced so far is putting up with the hordes of American teens spouting abuse in the current generation of consoles, noob indeed!
