As some of you may be aware, PlayStation Network is currently experiencing issues affecting multiple services related to "gaming and social," "account management," and the accessing the PlayStation Store.
Sony hasn't really provided a new statement since they last claimed the issues were "due to factors external to PSN," but they have at least acknowledged that they are investigating the issues.
We are aware that you may be experiencing issues with PSN. Thanks for your patience as we investigate. http://t.co/SrkLA6RbZz
