Just a quick question from someone new to psn, will DLC in games only be available when the Playstaion Store is back up?

Yes because DLC needs to be downloaded off the PSN

well looks like the store is back online next week Tuesday the 24th so not that long of a wait.

Managed too play about 8 rounds with DP last night in marvel network is still a-bit unstable booted us out after the last one and couldnt reconnect at all.

Yeah I've been playing Dirt 2 online and every so often people get booted. Sucks but at least online play is possible now!

Awesome about the 2 free games!

Been looking at playing two of them, so score!

http://www.engadget.com/2011/05/23/sony-estimates-3-2b-loss-this-year-171-million-cost-for-psn-b/

Sony estimates the total loss for the PSN outage to be at $171m, which isn't as bad as some initial (over)estimations. Their biggest loss is, understandably, due to the disruptions caused by the earthquake at 22bn Yen. All in all Sony is predicting a $3.14bn loss.

Read in the Term and Condition that the games will only be available for 30days once the welcome package is available...... So it better come online here before the 30days is up... wonder...

@Nagool as I understand it, the welcome package is available as soon as the store is up, not second before. So don't worry you have 30 days from that date to start the DL. Once you start the DL then you have "purchased" the games and can DL at your leisure.

sweet! thanks!

Was gettting worried this wasn't goign to happen this week...

You can play MK online... in fact anyone could have. you did not even need the online pass since the store has been inactive as far as I know. That will change though when the store is back up and you will need it.

How?
All mine does is Checking Server Availability --> Connecting to lobby --> The network connection to your system has been lost. Make sure you Ethernet cables and router are connected properly.

Only MK does this, all my other games all work fine online only MK does not connect.

Try turning off the ps3 and trying again. Granted when the store is back it should run better I think but ppl have been playing online so ive read.

yeah i've been playing GT5 and Dirt2 online for a couple of weeks now...

Thanks Sinncross but I have done that since I switch off my PS3 and TV every night at wall socket in case of surge or something, we get them a lot.
Did a reset of my ADSL router as well.

I'll just wait for PSN and then my new ADSL line since I think the 384kbs also does not help?
Hopefully I'll have 1mb by this weekend if Telkom does their job well and see what MK does.

PSStore was up yesterday...

No sign of the welcome pack yet... unless i missed it...
