The Sony PLaystation and Qriocity networks have been down for over 3 weeks now but Sony just announced that it is restoring the services as of today. North America and Australia seem to be online already and parts of Europe aswell, the rest will follow very soon.
As mentioned before, everybody can now update the firmware on your PS3 and change their password.
The BeNeLux (Belgium, Netherlands, Luxembourg) are still offline but should be online in the next few hours aswell.
The PS3 Firmware update (v3.61) is mandatory and is available now.
If using a PS3, your password can only be changed on your own PS3 (or a PS3 on which your PSN account was activated), as an added layer of security. If you have never downloaded any content using your account on the system, an email will be sent to the registered sign-in ID (email address) associated with your account when you first attempt to sign-in to PSN. This e-mail will contain a link that will enable you to change your password. In this email, click on the link and follow the instructions to change your password. Once you have changed your password you can sign-in to your account using your new password.
We will update this post as soon as we have more information on what is restored.
Update: The network is now online in Europe, Canada and the USA.
