Servizio sotto stress!
E’ ovvio, anzi palese che con il ritorno del Playstation Store si sarebbe avuto un afflusso di accessi contemporaneo enorme. Così come è anche plausibile che Sony Computer Entertainment ha previsto questo e ha subito gestito il primo sintomo di errore di accesso diversificando il traffico che convoglia in uno Store regionale attraverso altri instradamenti.
La soluzione è stata veloce, tant’è che alcuni utenti neanche si sono accorti del mancato disservizio, durato veramente poco. Per rassicurare la comunità di giocatori, è stato esteso il periodo gratuito di Playstation Plus di altri 10 giorni, passando a 40 per quelli normali e 70 per chi è già abbonato.
Riguardo il programma di bentornato denominato propriamente Welcome Back, il community manager ha riferito che sarà molto presto definita per ogni regione la modalitù di riscatto dei giochi.
Di seguito il comunicato ufficiale:

‘Sony Corporation and Sony Computer Entertainment (SCE) announced today that Sony Network Entertainment International (SNEI, the company) will fully restore all PlayStation®Network services today June 2, 2011, in the Americas, Europe/PAL territories and Asia, excluding Japan, Hong Kong, and South Korea’.
Music Unlimited powered by Qriocity™ for PlayStation®3 (PS3®), PSP® (PlayStation®Portable), VAIO and other PCs will also return as part of the restoration.
Details of the ‘Welcome Back’ package program offered to all registered PlayStation Network (applicable to regions with access to the PlayStation Store) and Qriocity account service will be announced for each region.
Content will continue to be added to the PlayStation Store to ensure it is up-to-date.
If you are having issues accessing the store (or are receiving the error code 80710D36), please be aware of the high traffic accessing the Store at this time.
You may have encountered the error code 80023103 when checking your download list or attempting to add funds to the wallet. We are currently working to increase capacity across the network to allow everyone to connect.
Update:
It has just been confirmed that, due to the Store coming back a little later than we hoped, the extra days added to Plus memberships is being extended by another 10 days so you are getting a total of 70 days extra for free (for existing members). This will show up automatically on your account in the next few days.
- If you were a Plus member on or before the 21st April, we have automatically added a full 60 days onto your Plus membership to make sure you get back any time missed. You don’t need to do anything to get this; it has been added to your account and your membership will simply carry on for 60 days past the original renewal date.
- We will be keeping April’s content on the Plus section of the Store for a further 2 weeks in case you missed anything before the 21st.
- We have an action packed month for you in June and, for the first time, we have a fantastic EA title for you – our flagship title this month is the amazing open-world racing game and the king of arcade racing. Burnout Paradise is available to download as part of June’s content list so don’t miss it.
