I have little big planet and infamous, really they should have included newer games, it's not little big planet 2!

I'll get wipeout and dead nation, but can't see me being terribly fussed about either tbh

Eurogamer has seen video evidence that verifies reports that Sony's PlayStation Network password reset system suffers from an exploit that allows attackers to change your password using only your PSN account email and your date of birth – information compromised in the PSN hack of 20th April.

Sony today made PSN sign-in unavailable for a number of its websites, including PlayStation.com and the PlayStation forums. All PlayStation game titles are also unavailable.

Crucially, the website users are directed to by password reset emails is now down.

"Unfortunately this also means that those who are still trying to change their password via Playstation.com or Qriocity.com will be unable to do so for the time being," Sony said. "This is due to essential maintenance and at present it is unclear how long this will take.

"In the meantime you will still be able to sign into PSN via your PlayStation 3 and PSP devices to connect to game services and view Trophy/Friends information."

Sony later tweeted: "Clarification: this maintenance doesn't affect PSN on consoles, only the website you click through to from the password change email."

The exploit was first revealed on Nyleveia.com.

"I would suggest that you secure your accounts now by creating a completely new email that you will not use ANYWHERE ELSE, and switching your PSN account to use this new email," recommends the site.

"You risk having your account stolen, when this hack becomes more public, if you do not make sure that your PSN account's email is one that cannot be affiliated with or otherwise traced to you."

NeoGAF users have also corroborated the claim.

Nyleveia claims to have contacted Sony about the exploit. "The system went down approximately 15 minutes after I received a response from SCEE on the matter."

Sony has taken the page in question down, and with any luck is fixing the exploit.

Eurogamer has contacted Sony for comment.

'Primary reports seem to be that updating to firmware 3.61 will cause PlayStations to overheat. There have been various reports of this on a few different games now, all reporting their PS3s turning off or 'Red Lighting' after having installed 3.61.'

Sony last night condemned Rockstar's claim as "rumour" and "speculation". Rockstar has removed the offending post from its website.

Looks like people are just jumping on the bandwagon now  :muttley:

My nephew has been trying for days, looks like it is still down, shocking really, but they need to get it right, so better late than never.

Apparently the store is 'hopefully' going to be ready by the end of May I have just read Sony stated. So maybe this week sometime if we're lucky, but I agree I would rather wait for it to be done properly. I just don't want to miss the window of opportunity to grab Wipeout HD! 8)

Latest news, end of the week hopefully:

Yeah, they were saying it would be up by the end of May, but that hasn't happened, so they're now saying it will be back up by the end of the week. We'll see what happens at the end of this week though.

Nope, store is back up but they aren't giving the free stuff yet. They are saying it will be available soon.
