    @GrimsGrave @notmomos1 @ChivalryGame Then that's a Playstation problem. Playstation ******* hates crossplay with everything they have so I wouldn't be surprised if there's problems.

  • Cameron_gameing CamerongamingTVOfficial (@Cameron_gameing) reported

    @Haalyle Well to day at 6am in Australia Qld I was on my ps3 and it was fine but then at 1pm I was signed out I tried to disable media and not working I hope the PSN is not shut down because that would be a bad because not a lot of people can afford new generation consoles

  • Arginnon Arginnon (@Arginnon) reported

    @AskPS_UK I can't sign in to PSN on my PS3, getting the error code 8002A537. Any help?

  • AndersQuintos Andrew Lee Quinton (@AndersQuintos) reported

    @LeefroMilch @MrPonsenby @PlayStation Yes. Neflix does work. I'm in UK and having the same ps3 issue.

  • EmperorRio Rio (@EmperorRio) reported

    @PlayStation Seems like a lot of us are dealing with the error code 8002A537 which isn’t allowing us into PSN on our PS3s. What’s going on? Been down a couple hours now. I’m near St Louis and it seems to be worldwide. Need you guys to get on it!

  • AndersQuintos Andrew Lee Quinton (@AndersQuintos) reported from Wolverhampton, England

    It's strange there has been no response from Sony playstation regarding the ps3 signing in issue. Not even saying they are working on it right now.

  • Technique_12_10 David (@Technique_12_10) reported

    @AskPS_UK - Hi, I'm sure you are aware by now many people are having issues downloading one of this month's PS Plus game's, Battlefield V. Apparently this is due to downloading a 'demo' version before the game was released. How do I work around this issue? Thanks.

  • RoyKelvin14 Roy Kelvin (@RoyKelvin14) reported

    @davkan78 @AskPlayStation Contact *bypasslord1* on Instagram he will help you fix it

  • HeroWithNoFear Tayyab Mehbub (@HeroWithNoFear) reported

    @AskPS_UK I did that too. It still freezes. @asobisystem need to make an update for the game which fixes the issue for a number of consoles. I can't play Astro's Playroom and that is disappointing. Using the switch window mode, I did get to the Vibration screen. Cannot get past that now.

  • AndersQuintos Andrew Lee Quinton (@AndersQuintos) reported from Wolverhampton, England

    It's flustrating that YouTube loads up on my Ps3 but I have to sign in on PSN which I can't do at the moment to watch.

  • Saiyamar_K Momo (@Saiyamar_K) reported

    @PlayStation I am once again unable to log into PSN. Getting error code 8002A537 on my PS3. Please fix! 🙏

  • daveymilkshake1 Davey Milkshakes #BLM (@daveymilkshake1) reported

    Also, what will the @EPA think of over 260+ million @PlayStation 3-5 systems ALL becoming unfixable e-waste when they all die? And it’s been confirmed that they WILL! You can’t recycle or fix them. I guess if it’s okay with the @epa letting you guys have acres of poisonous waste.

    @MBAStudios @AskPlayStation @PlayStation I just kept signing in until eventually it signed in. But i cant sign in on my other console for some reason.. Its a very strange error, definitely related to psn somehow

  • Sligo_lad Adrian (@Sligo_lad) reported

    @AskPS_UK having an issue downloading battlefield V, appearing as 39.99 and not free. Can you advise.

  • DaeM0nS_Axel DaeM0nS :|: Axel :|: Pixelmon Reforged Dev (@DaeM0nS_Axel) reported

    @JayFlay13 I'm on a HFW in the latest version and I'm trying to sign in since 3 hours eheh but it wont let me sign in :/ Maybe the psn patch can help but I'm not sure how :/

  • falafeldadi ༺₳𝖑ʊ𝕮𝖆𝖗𝖉༻ (@falafeldadi) reported

    @DaeM0nS_Axel I honestly didn't do anything except sign in everytime it said failed. This console is on CFW and im using psn patch, so not sure if that helped at all because my HFW console won't sign in at all..

  • S1ck0m0d31 Kim: ▼ 🄸🄽🄶🅂🄾🄲 ▼ is real (@S1ck0m0d31) reported

    @AskPlayStation I'm trying to sign in to PSN while playing GTA 5 on PS3, I'm seeing error code 8002A537 and I'm not the only one.

    @DaeM0nS_Axel Haha litteraly five minutes after replying to your last tweet i got disconnected and it will not sign back in at all. Must be some kind of server side issue with PSN. But its annoying that there is no official description for the error code.

  • Goleon14 Goleon (@Goleon14) reported

  • SJActress Titty Sprinkles (@SJActress) reported from Houston, Texas

    @PlayStation Apple doesn't require users to sign in to Netscape to view Pornhub, because everything about that is archaic. Problem on your end. Remove the Sign In requirement until you fix Obsolete Dinosaur. You're humiliating yourself.

    Help: Receiving Error on PSN preventing sign on to PSN PS3 on multiple consoles. Due to 'Activation / Deactivation' on using my two consoles to play games on my one user account on two different PS3 consoles? Tried to resolve it and ended up deactivating both consoles.
