PlayStation Store is back with a stampede of updates photo

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.

I just thought that I should check if Playstation Store is back online, but I injured my hand and decided that I'll check if it's up in the internets first, because I didn't want to reach with my injured hand behind the tv to plug in the hdmi cable.
*Refreshed Destructoid tab.
*PlayStation Store back online posted 5 minutes ago.
Uh yeah! Thank you, Hamza!

Nice! Can't wait to redeem codes, and get games (no saved credit info). Looking at the Playstation Blog, that IS a huge list of content! I like the price reductions, too!

Got an error code when I tried to start it myself. At least it wasn't the maintenance thing they have been saying. Oh well better luck when I awake perhaps.

It keeps saying "An error has occurred" on mine, but sometimes if I try again it works... I wonder if it's experiencing too much traffic? In which case I'll check later on in the day.

Everyone should take it easy on downloading though, some jack above said he's downloading 25 games... not sure if he's bs'ing or not, but that's going to fuck up the system for everyone else trying to get in or just download stuff.....

If we overload this fucker, it's going to be down again for another week... take it easy, people.

@everyone: slow the fuck down, you guys are crashing the fucking store. Try and just do one download at a time!

@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.

@gamefiend23:

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

Shouldnt the Mortal Kombat demo be available to non-PS Plus users as well by now? Oh well, since we're getting 30 days free anyways it doesn't matter I guess as long as we get them soon.
