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
Microsoft announced its financial results for Q3 of fiscal year 2026, including an update on its gaming Xbox business and more.
Not looking good. Hopefully Asha Sharma is able to turn Phil’s disaster around.
To me it's still quite remarkable how they can cash-in 5.3bn in revenue in a single quarter, since their hardware is basically dead.
The stock mark is what makes Microsoft remarkable, They have convinced every institutional and retail investor to just keep piling money into them. Like many big tech giants they are just a big growing pyramid scheme. As long as people keep dropping money into ETF's that cover the market Microsoft will always be liquid. At the same time it is completely stifling innovation and competition. People need to start being more discreet in how they invest their money as it's killing the system.
Riiiiight because people will just flock back to them for one or two games per year.
15+ years of bad performance is what they call irreparable in business. It is time for them to sell off the assets and get out of entertainment.
These declines are on the back of extra revenue received from releasing games like Forza horizon 5 on PlayStation. So I’m being sarcastic here when I said they should go back to exclusives. Killing off a revenue stream from Ps5 sales will only make things worse
The charity event will be streamed live from Gamescom in August.
Thanks to the slip-up of an artist working on the title, we now have more evidence that a new Injustice game is in the works.
Yep. Whole network is down. Japan/US/Oz/UK at least.
but the same thing happened to me...its all straight now tho
i wasn't worried but still good to read
