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.

call of duty4 is awesome who ever doesnt like it sucks !!!
I am extremely upset at the quality of this game. COD4 was frustrating, but nothing like this new game. Server down, disconnects, freezes, etc. like everyone says, but what really ticket me off was I went to bed last night at level 41 and this morning I went to play and I was back to level 37!! It actually lost HOURS of my playing time. Why do they have the statistic page after each game when it only says zero on everything, do they plan to ever activate that?? I will never buy another game from them again. Anyone else have any score disappear?
THIS GAME IS TAKING THE PISS OUT OF EVERY1 WHO HAS BOUGHT IT DUE TO THE LARGE NUMBER OF ERRORS ON IT THE GAMEPLAY IS GREAT BUT WHEN U CANT GET TO UR MATES OR SOMETIMES EVEN ON A GAME THEN THIS TAKE THE PISS IF THIS PROBLEM IS NOT SORTED OUT SOON I WANT MY MONEY BACK AND I AM NOT TAKING THE PISS
OH AND CALL OF DUTY 4 RULES BRING BACK MODERN WARFARE LIKE THE NEXT 1 SHOULD BE KILLING TERRORIST
Same happened with me, play a game, finish it then it says servers connection timed out. Good game and should not be compared with COD4 but really should not have released the game with this many online faults. Also,, dont let the makers of the game blame OUR ISp, thats a favourite trick of theres.
Its there mess, E Mail activision and within a short period of time, it should be fixed.

i try to invite my mate for co-op and it keeps saying praparing for match then cuts off, and also when we finished co-op it crashed what the hell is goin on
Am so p***** of with this game i can only play a online match for about 5 minutes then i get kicked of and a error saying server disconnected and if a do mange to stay on a game at the end i get disconnecte VERY ANNOYED!
yer cod 5 for ps3 is phat, i can connect to games fine no problems all goes fine (i live in the UK) its only when trying to connect to a friends party or them connecting to mine doesnt work?? or when trying to connect to co-op mode?? this happened with cod4 sometimes, YOU WOULD HAVE THOUGHT THEy WOULD HAVE LEARNT FROM COD4??? this game isnt gunna win online prizes like cod4 did, good game but stupid school boy errors from a company who have years of experiance??? for £40/£50 you would expect problems like this, 75% of COD players who buy the game never play the single player and only play ONLINE, WAKE UP ACTIVISION…….FOR GOD SAKE !!!!!
i have had Virgin out 3 times in the last month and they have renewed my whole setup and told me that my connection is great. 40 quid for a game you cant play online, its a disgrace! i had to play through the single player mode on cod5 which was repeptitive and boring. online maps are bigger and have more feeling but cod4 set the benchmark for online multiplayer gaming and cod5 falls way short, i hope i get the chance to play it a bit more(connection pending) and be proved wrong!! It is very frustrating waiting to join a game and my ps3 freezes while doxnloading game settings. AAARRRRGGGGHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Just home from work, was looking forward to playing COD5 ONLINE!!
Which is a joke at the minute, im sitting here waiting to connect to a game which its not even doing! A refund is coming to mind! please get this fixed!
