    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.

    Not using a PSP, just trying to sign in the regular way through the PS3. I dunno what's up.. I've only got the one PSN account and e-mail address so there's no way I'm using the incorrect sign-in details..

    Hmm, there must be a conflict between accounts, but it's weird since you have one account. Maybe a friend of yours signed in using his account and it's set to sign in automatically, preventing your ability to sign in? If that's the case, you need to go to the Users section on the left, log out, then log into your profile and sign in at the PlayStation Network part on the right of the menu.

    Thanks.. it's fine now. I'm signed in and downloading Wipeout HD :D

    I'd say there was just some sort of delay in updating my password after I changed it.

    If anyone's having problems changing their passwords on the PSN, you can also change it on the Qriocity site - http://www.qriocity.com/ie/en/

    Haven't really posted much since this whole shambles started.

    Seeing as I *thought* it was all fixed now, tried to log into the PS store, and guess what I get an error.

    Quelle Suprise

    It is all fixed, there's just millions of people trying to download half a dozen gig worth of files from their servers.

    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”


    This is not working for me. When i try and get into the services list, it just gives and error message.

    I've logged out and back in, and still no luck.

    Any ideas?

    Keep trying, the error you're getting is just because the store is overloaded. I got that error a couple of times too.

    Lads is there any other way to reset the password for the PSP?
    Every time I've tried to login here:

    https://store.playstation.com/login.gvm

    All I'm getting is down for maintenance.

    Driving me crazy as my young lad is dying to get his 2 free games!:(

    Happened me as well, but I found them on the PSP itself afterwards. They should be in the services list (but for some odd reason, it showed up as expired for me, so I just turned on my psp and got them from that instead).

    Nothing in the PSP services either, and i bought the psp 2 years ago!
    Is there some register option I have to do to get my 2 psp games!

    To get it showing up on my psp, I went to the store, and selected "latest" on the main menu (I think), saw the welcome back window and clicked on it right away and picked the games before they disappeared again! I think this should work. You have to buy the token (game 1), then confirm the game choice, and likewise with game 2. I think the games have to be chosen on the psp console in cases where the ps3 store wasn't actually used to buy psp-only games, I think that has something to do with it.

    So what are everyone's opinions on the free games? Which are the best to get (PS3)? I've already selected inFamous as I had always meant to buy it. I have 3 accounts though so I can get all of them, its just my download limit is blocking me. If I add them to my download list, I can just take them down slowly over the next couple of months. (Damn you Meteor 10gig limit!) Or I could see if any of my friends are accommodating enough to allow me to piggyback off them for a bit. :P
