European PSN forums still up; PSN linking delayed a month

by Jem Alexander { Mar 18th 2008 at 5:30PM }

The official European PlayStation forums are supposed to be down right now, in order for them to be linked together with the PlayStation Network. Unfortunately it seems this has been delayed until late April. This is in order to "get everything ship-shape" and improve the look and feel of the service. Strange, then, that this is announced the day the forums are meant to go down. They didn't know there was another month of work to do until now?

There's still no word on what exactly the reason is for the whole PSN forum linkage. Not even our Sony contact knows what's going on, so we may as well forget about it for another month or so. If you're a member of the official European forums, however, this means you've got a much longer time to link your profile to your PSN. Check the forum post for instructions.

Completely unsurprising, delays are part of the Sony culture.

I'm new to Sony machines from a Nintendo upbringing, that gives me full immunity.

the night the forum was closing down, all the forums were trying to get the last post before midnight. it was all good fun, and we continued for a good 2 hours after the time it was due to close, assuming that we wouldn't have any issues with being accused of spamming as we had been informed all the threads were being deleted ready for the new super dupa secret thing SONY were preparing, it appears we were wrong as i have now been banned for spamming until the 27th of March-I wouldnt mind if the forums were closing anyway, but seeing as its being delayed until the end of April, Im now stuck wondering what im miising in the forums!
