    "In the meantime, now’s a great time to get your PS3′s firmware updated and change your password, both of which are required to get online."

    Not the most accurate instructions. Am I the only one who read this bit and expected to see a prompt to change password?

    installed aswel but no prompt for password. I'd say itll be a little while. Last states in the US & Canada were on at 8.04. Europe should be next.

    Anything else?: You'll be getting two free PS3 and PSP games out of a selection of five when its back up. Also a month free PSN Plus.


    Is that true? I doubt it is?

    Is it back up yet?... everyone logs on at the same time and crash again:eek:

    Do ye not read any of the previous posts.
    It's not back up in Ireland, yet.
    Update 3.61 will force a password change when PSN goes live.

    How about now? Is it back now? What do the previous posts say F1ngers? Do they say it's back? How about now?

    I am a bit surprised though that I still can't change password.

    A bit peeved too. I've had a nice quiet free gaf for the last 4 days. Wife back this evening about 30 mins after I get in from work. Great.

    Fair play. Less of the pasting stuff that's so obvious on sites that's so obvious we've already have seen

    Try to sign in and it should tell you that you need to. Failing that just go to the settings drop menu and at the very top go to system update and do it yourself. If you still can't it might be an idea to save the update file to your PC, if you have a usb key, anyway. Thats how I did it and it worked a charm. Well, insofar as there was no discernable difference but I am no longer prompted to update.

    I think you can change it without the email if it's on an already activated PS3 tied to you account.

    When you change your password, an email message may be sent to the email address registered with PlayStation Network (your sign-in ID). If you cannot receive messages at your registered email address, you will not be able to change your password.
    If you cannot receive messages at the email address you have registered as your sign-in ID, prepare an email address that you can use to receive messages and contact us at ie.playstation.com/contact before you attempt to change your password.
    Depending on your country/region of residence and the network environment you are using, you may not be able to change your PlayStation Network account password or make use of PlayStation Network services for some time after updating your PS3 system software.
    The ability to change PlayStation Network account passwords and use PlayStation Network services - except for PlayStation Store - will be made available in all regions within a few days.

    Looks like they are doing a phased restore based on countries and regions.
    All of the USA and Canada are back online now, waiting for them to turn on access in Europe today.
