    How long should the download for the upgrade take for 3.61, I had it on for around 20 mins and it was around 3% completed?

    Download on PC and then install it by USB stick, it'll be quicker

    Does anyone know what could cause an error "80010038" when installing LBP, it's making a new folder were it should be installed called "Unknown" and in it there's a file saying "corrupted data".

    I tried installing when I was signed in, then signed out.

    Can I change my location on an existing account so as to appear to be living in America and get Super Stardust HD? I don't want any of the free games available in the EU but it's only pre-existing accounts that can get free games and my two accounts are Ireland and the UK.

    Did you even read that story? Or just the first line and then made up the rest of the story in your head?

    It's nothing to do with PlayStation.

    I went into the store I kept getting an error but got in eventually, I got the package but didn't choose the games yet now it keeps popping up error and I can't get them:mad:

    and again no ones reading the fixes to problems, if you crap out of the store yes you will see nothing in the welcome back bit unless and this is the third time posting this you actually do this

    1. On your PlayStation 3 or PlayStation Portable navigate to the PlayStation Network icon on the XMB
    2. Log into your PlayStation Network account and choose Account Management > Transaction Management > Services List
    3. Choose “PlayStation Network Promotions” from the list of services displayed
    4. Select either “PS3 Free Games” or “PSP Free Games” and then choose “Select Content”

    I can't sign into my Irish account on my PSP for some reason, it keeps saying "you cannot sign in using another user's account id (email address)". I signed out of my other account and still no joy. I never had this problem before, can't figure it out. :confused:
    Edit: never mind, I figured it out. just needed to delete the other account first. :rolleyes:

    Worked for me the other day without email - although I'm using the PS3 it was set up with.

    Lucky, because the email may or may not have existed *shifty eyes*

    Folks can we keep all the welcome home package stuff to this thread: http://www.boards.ie/vbulletin/showthread.php?t=2056271405

    Can we leave this thread for anyone who may still be having password trouble etc...? We'll probably lock it in a day or two when everything is finally back to normal.

    It's been down for maintenance every now and then, but it worked for me this morning around 10 o clock. Keep trying at random times and you're bound to hit it at an online period, hopefully it'll be back to normal in a few days when the server pressure eases off.

    Are you using a PSP? I had the exact same problem this morning, but if you go to account management, press triangle and delete account (it just removes the account from the PSP), and sign in again, it should work.
