[Update] Report: PSN Back Up For Developers

[Update]

Giant Bomb has confirmed the rumors that surfaced on NeoGAF today, after speaking with "developer sources." Writer Patrick Klepek also provides a little more information on how PSN is functioning currently.

As previously rumored, new account registration is not functional, which is a problem for many developers who generally create multiple "dummy" accounts for development purposes. Obviously, these are created with fake information that was not written down, making it difficult for the developers to access PSN.

For more, check Giant Bomb's story.

[Original Story]

Could this be the first sign that Sony's PlayStation Network is getting close to being restored? A poster on the NeoGAF forums, Kagari, says that he has confirmed with sources in the development community that PSN is up and running, although she says "things are still a bit shaky at the moment."

Kagari claims that some features, like new account sign up, are still disabled. However, if true, this looks to an encouraging sign that some of PSN's basic functions like online play will be up and running soon.

Finally, the PSN has comeback to online!
by texasknight1 Friday, May 13, 2011 at 01:15 PM

but to the public this means PSN is down this weekend.. this is torture tease at its best.
by NoMercy85 Friday, May 13, 2011 at 01:20 PM

cool. finally some good news. i'm ok without it though. dont need it until october for dark souls and twisted metal.
by Damarius101 Friday, May 13, 2011 at 01:23 PM

Yeah, this makes sense. Isnt Starhawk being tested form multiplayer as we speak? I mean, it could just be internal on their end, but I bet that they are using PSN to test instead of their own serves. SWEEET.
by Proj3ctPat25 Friday, May 13, 2011 at 01:29 PM

Well i'm glad that I have a Playstation and an Xbox. Even though PSN is down I can still get my online fix with my Xbox.
by Brittany Friday, May 13, 2011 at 01:37 PM

Yay! Good news. Now maybe we will see it up for everyone else next week? Maybe that's too soon.
by pjams76 Friday, May 13, 2011 at 01:42 PM

I truly hope this is true and all of you PS3 owners have your network back up very soon and I hope it is better then it ever was.
by Death Note Friday, May 13, 2011 at 01:45 PM

Funny how this comes one day after the article about people selling their PS3's to play online on 360! They should have just waited!
by Phish Friday, May 13, 2011 at 01:46 PM

Good news for PSN user. Hopefully they get the public version up and running soon
by Shockwave543 Friday, May 13, 2011 at 01:53 PM
