The Playstation Network is (back) online.

I rented TRON for the PS3 last night because Final Fantasy XIII was checked out.  I played the single-player campaign mode last night and didn't get out of Chapter 1 even with my saved progress from the last time I rented it.  This morning I fired it up to get some Light Cycle action in the scene after the ZUSE scene when I noticed the system update from this morning.

I updated the PS3 software with the 3.61 which went pretty quickly; I had to change my PSN password- good thinking Sony, and I logged on to a Quick Match.

I was on the Blue Team and Orange had already gotten the tank.  I captured the tank flag from the Orange Team and sat down for some serious damage.  The arena is a Light Cycle track with 5 'flags' to capture.  The team that holds more flags for the longest wins.  Flag #3 is right in the center of the map.  I shambled my way to Flag #3 as my tank piloting skills apparently aren't that great.  I did manage to blast a few Orange fellows off their Light Cycles and drive over a few pedestrian-based Orange Team.

I spent the next 8 consecutive minutes at Flag #3 which after I captured it was blue for the remainder of the game.  I had good Line of Sight on most of the map so I was able to keep the orbiting enemies at bay with suppressive fire.  I got some trophies and top score first match back for the PSN!

Yay.

Viva la PlaystationNetwork.
