Call Of Duty:World at War - PS3 servers down?

Well today was the official release date for the game in the UK, and as expected the servers would obviously be extremely busy during the weekend, but already the game seems to have encountered a major problem as the servers seem to be down for the moment on the Playstation 3.
Its not known exactly when the servers first shut down, maybe Treyarch are aware of this problem and are currently working on the job. But for the past few hours this evening, the game has hung on the ‘finding potential match’ screen, and in some cases, freezes the ps3 for a few minutes after this.
Even despite this problem, I read a total number of 79602 online in the COD:WoW lobby at one point, so I can imagine a lot of you are getting slightly frustrated as I am, waiting around for a solution.
I did take a look at the official forums, and there has been no official posts yet regarding this problem, so if any of our readers have any info to share on this, leave your comments below.

ahhhhhhhhh soooo FRUSTRATING.
I just want to play wit hno lag!!!!
and no server crashes!!!!
The best way to avoid server issues w/ Call of Duty. Is to never buy their products. They sold out after CoD2. As a PC Gamer, I say burn in hell IW/Activision/and Treyarch. The series peaked at CoD1:UO. And has petered off, ever since.

servers suck
Wow dude, congrats on the great advice! I don’t know what people would do without you!
You are entitled to your opinion and are in no way required to play the game. There are, however, hundreds of thousands (if not millions) of people who love the game and want to play. So do them all a favor and shut the heck up!
I havn’t had any issues with it as of yet, wonder if that could be hardware related, I am running original jap 20gb model with emotion chip and LAN only, not a single issue, havn’t tried on my 60gb premium UK yet. will keep you updated!

I played for couple of days already (in Canada the game was available since the 11th) the server problems only occurred today. Two previous days it was smooth, but today I got the simptoms described in the article. Can’t join online games, slow to download online settings, console freeze
PS3 20 GB
I can’t join an online game too. It’s crap really you pay these people money and expect the games to work. Looking on the wed loads of people are having the same problem. I remember cod4 had the same problems. It was to do with needing a static ip address on your ps3. Stupid thing is I’ve not had any problems with Quantum of Solace which is the same engine.
It always seems to be Activision though. Crap un professional company.
In Dubai the game launched early. I got it November 8th and since then i have not been able to find a single online match. I look under boot camp, team deathmatch, free for all and all i see is my name and a message “”waiting for 5 more players…” its very annoying.
I’ve finished the solo game and i was not overly impressed. i’ve never played CoD 4 so i really had high expectations.
Dude, hundreds of hard-working people worked their butts off to make that game (which, by the way, you seemed to like enough to spend $60 on). It’s a tough job and something you couldn’t even begin to wrap your mind around so maybe you should have a little respect and quit whining about having to wait a short time while server settings are optimized to allow for the other millions of people wanting to play.
I’m English so used the pound. But thats not the point, if you buy anything you expect it to work. You buy a car you take it back if it wouldn’t start. I work hard in my job and if I cut corners like they have people would die. It about completing the task they broadcasted. Shoddie work pratice. Respect where its due not before.
