Update:
It looks like things are back to normal! Sony has posted: “All services are up and running.”
Original story:
This Sunday isn’t a fun day for PlayStation players hoping to spend their day gaming online. Sony has acknowledged that “some services are experiencing issues,” confirming that Account Management, Gaming And Social, PlayStation Now, PlayStation Video, PlayStation Store, and PlayStation Music, are all suffering problems.
Sony has provided the usual attempt at reassurance, stating that “[their] engineers are working to resolve the issue as soon as possible, and [they] thank you for your patience.”
