But don't worry! Customer support has assured that it will be up and running soon. The error consists of the three initial images loading up, but none of the categories do. You're still online, able to see friend lists and such, but the store is malfunctioning.
You also shouldn't fret if you discover that an out of country account receives the message upon signing in, along the lines of, "Use of the Playstation Network has been suspended", because this is part of the error. So no, Sony hasn't gotten mean and decided to ban users for using accounts that don't belong to the country you're in :3
Just thought I'd post this in case any fellow Australians were worried about what's happening. Also interested to know if this is effecting the whole Network and not just the Australian one?
Update: The entire Network seems to have gone down now, with users receiving the Error Code: 8002A220. The same error code that occured when the new store was being released
Update: Store seems to be fixed and all systems are go! That was fast :D

Pragmata has sold 1 million copies in two days, Capcom has announced.
I didn't know it came out last Friday, or I would have bought the game. I will try again for this upcoming weekend.
Im really digging it. It reminds me of games from the PS2 era, not visually or how it plays, but like the spirit of it. If you were around for that golden age of gaming, you’ll get what I mean when you play this.
The next thing I'm mine when I've had my fill of crimson desert. A nice linear action game to contrast the open ended 😗👌

Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 has now become the second title to win Game of the Year at all five major awards shows.
I thought this game was a load of rubbish. Trying too hard to be art(sy) by people who don’t really understand art but want to make it look like they do. Found it obvious and shallow and just not a fun game. Just seemed like every relentless second they were clutching at trying to feed this superior narrative… the irony being that’s kind of what I’m doing now… maybe that’s art imitating art….
Didn't know the Golden Joystick fan votum was considered one of the "major awards"?
I always thought it's "only" the Big Four - VGA, Bafta, GDC and DICE.
Nonetheless, congrats to Clair Obscur!
Former Naughty Dog artist Gabriel Betancourt explains why the "sweet spot" for game teams is under 200 people and how AAA "factories" kill creativity.
Yep. Whole network is down. Japan/US/Oz/UK at least.
