Good news: The PlayStation Store is back online in North America! Bad news: There's so much new content that was put out all at once that it's simply overwhelming. Not saying it's bad news for the consumer, but it's just a shame that all these games are basically trampling over each other for proper exposure.
While the Store is back, there might be some spotty issues while the service is fully restored. Destructoid editor Conrad Zimmerman can access only some of the Store content at the moment. You should also know that the Welcome Back freebies aren't online just yet. Grace Chen on the PlayStation Blog states that the free games are "in the final stages of testing and will be available to download soon."
The PlayStation Blog has the full list of new PlayStation Plus content; price changes; new downloadable games for the PS3, PSP and PSP minis; demos; PSone Classics; add-ons; like, a hundred Rock Band songs; music; avatars; and themes. All the games you can fully purchase are listed below so you don't have to sift through it all.

Hamza Aziz, Destructoid's Community Director, has been here since day one. He was born when a tiger coughed up a hairball into a pool of ooze. He was one of the original Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles before budget cuts. Hamza works as a previews editor and manages a team in San Francisco. To date he has given away tens of thousands of dollars in prizes to readers. What a dick. Actually, Hamza is as kind as he is hairy.

Uh yeah! Thank you, Hamza!
Good day.
/Really happy the store is back up :D Seven gigs of joy downloading to my PS3 right now. :DDDDD
BALLS
Move along folks, nothing to see here.
Yes!
I wanted some welcome back love!
Good news anyways..
If we overload this fucker, it's going to be down again for another week... take it easy, people.
Put my credit card details back onto it.
Then I'ma download a metric fuck-tonne of stuff.
While it's downloading I'll probably play some Dirt 3 on the eggsbawks.
what about Arcana Heart 3 and Dino Crisis 2? are there already on the store?
@everyone else who can't get in: keep trying, you'll get in eventually, especially if the greedy, fuck-tards quit trying to download 50 things at once.
I got it, but it took 4 or 5 times trying to access the store and I had to place my PS3 in an optimal position so I'd get the best signal strength from my modem to my PS3..... keep trying, the problem is, is that there's alot of in-considerate - assholes trying to download a shitload of stuff and they're fucking it up for everyone else.
Good Luck
So, Eggsbawks finally getting some regretful lovin by your sexy, UK hands?
All is right with the world. I'm gonna go buy some wine to congradulate PS Store's return.
And I'll maybe buy Warhawk.
