Uh oh, it looks like the PlayStation Network's down. We can't sign into the service here at Push Square Towers, and we're getting buried in reports from unhappy users. Sony's official status website suggests that there's nothing wrong, but clearly, that isn't the case.
We're not looking to jump the gun here, but it's at least worth mentioning that Sony announced a price increase for PlayStation Plus earlier this week in North America and Canada. Here's hoping that this outage is just a blip, and isn't some sort of reactionary attack. But with how outraged people can get these days, we wouldn't be at all surprised.
We'll keep you updated with anything that we learn.
Update: Thankfully, the PSN seems to be back up and working for us, meaning that this seems to have just been a small hiccup. Phew.

Was wondering why Overwatch was playing terribly for a few minutes before getting kicked: thought it was another Blizzard issue. This sucks, my last weekend before my PS+ expires, too.
Here's hoping the extra revenue from the price hike might actually go towards improving the service. They've got quite a lot of cheek raising prices for a service which they aren't trying to improve (as far as I can see anyway).
Was getting the ws-37397-9 error code, which according to Sony is due to a banned/suspended account. Had me worried for a while but all seems to be back up and running now.
Another attack my oh my
I want my Folders
ok here downloading Resident evil demo
Sony announces price increase for PS plus. Then shortly afterwards the servers goes down. Hilarious, Sony. Hilarious...
Some have problems with connecting, then they start losing their minds. Makes you wonder how some will cope in a real crisis.
Destiny was being pretty funny last night but that was the game itself

Life is simply unfair, don't you think?
Hold your breath for 1 minute
Best cure for hiccups.
Thankfully, I was running errands this morning, and when I came back, everything was online.
go probs here
After reading this i was able to view the PSN store. I did not try to purchase or download. I then successully connected to Big City Stories. I do not have Plus.
My recent online problems have been with the BCS game servers which has improved and that this site has been taking longer to load the past 3-4 days. I use my PS4 browser to view this site and other sites. Only this site is loading slower.
@Ralizah You seriously made my day with that reply.
An update on Big City Stories:
The connection improved to the point of actually connecting after long connecting and loading screens. Length of play will be very short, 1-5 minutes, before getting kicked back to the connecting and loading drill again.
Twice i exited the game because of a never ending connecting screen and had my internet disabled. Turning off and turning on my PS4 restored my internet connection.
After all of that i deleted Big City Stories from my PS4.
Maybe it's time to stop giving out last generation games every month and put that plus the price hike money towards improving your online infrastructure.
Still down for me. Has been for the last five days keep getting error 80710016. Sony is claiming my IP is banned and they can't unban it. But I'm on ps3 . thank God I'm not paying for this garbage
