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.

Can someone plz tell me how to get COD5 WAW working for online play (PS3). for some reason, my privacy settings are set to invite only, and i dont know anyone to invite. I just wanna play the game online? but i cant…
im having same probs game doing my head in now cant play any of my friends, but lets me play online fine. this is stupid as most people buy the game to play there friends isnt that why this tech was invented, if not sony might aswell hang up there coat and stick to making cd players!!!!!
ya, it lets me play online just fine but when i go to join a private match with my friends it just says error server not available but it really is! I can sumtimes get on but not always.
When I try to play on line the games tell me that due to parental controls I am restricted from playing. Any suggestions that might help me get trough this? All of the parental control settings have been turned off.
Yeah, I have a suggestion for you Tony about the parental controls: go buy a game that is more suitable for a person your age, and wait to play the mature kill- everyone -and -curse- at- the- Universe -while -you -do -it games for later in life when you’re actually an adult and able to purchase games like this.
And if for some reason you actually do have this game and your parents are the ones who purchased it for you, you can tell them that they need some parenting lessons if they think it’s okay to purchase this game, or any other like it, for a juvenile.
I mean, c’mon. It’s just like the buttholes who created the atom bomb….just because you can doesn’t necessarily mean that you should.
i just got online the other day and i tried it out on my ps3 and i thought that no one was playing with me bcuz im a lvl1 but now that i know that there is a problem im just gonna wait… this is some bulls**t though
u ppl waste ur cash…pc games r the best cuz best graphics n resolution etc. u can get any game for free via bittorrent patience and a keygen …n ppl who have a 20gb ps3 got ripped off unless all they wanted was an internal bluray player, 2 usb ports ugly exterior on the product ETC. my ps3 has a 500gb 2.5 sata 5400rpm 8mb cache harddrive & my ps3 has 4 usb ports originally plus i purchased a vertical stand the looks crazy …has a blue line of light outlining the base of the ps3 n on the side is a built in 2 port usb hub …runs off 1 ps3 usb port to work so my ps3 has 5 usb ports …built in wifi…bluray player …hdd full of tv seasons n movies that havent came out on BD yet (all converted to .mp4 using an hd converter designed to also convert for ps3 video..the type i chose is .mp4 1080p ps3 thats da actual option n it looks cooler …i have the BD remote, logitech mediaboard pro (bluetooth keyboard made for the ps3 with a built in touchpad as a mouse) ps3 eyecam as camera, official bluetooth headset .. i got 16gb sd cards CF memory stiks cuz my ps3 also has the built in memory card reader n my ps3 plays up to every ps1/ps2 game and it is running on a gold plated hdmi cable for video output n digital optical cord for 5.1 surround sound for audio output …n my ps3 is wired to a wireless n d link router n if any1 looked at the ps3 i got wen its standing u cant see wires cuz they hidden
4444, your not that intelligent are you?…..
“n ppl who have a 20gb ps3 got ripped off unless all they wanted was an internal bluray player, 2 usb ports ugly exterior on the product ETC”
The original 20gb PS3 came without Wireless, without a hidden card reader and silver edges….. everything else is the same, infact in most cases its actually better than its later successors, Oh yeah….it DOES have more than 2 usb ports. Ugly exterior? what PS3 doesn’t? Personaly I have a row of LED lights on the exterior of my 20gb version.
Heres a few pointers:
A) The original 20gb PS3 (with emotion chip) is the original workhorse model, unbeatable in reliability and performance.
B) The original 20gb PS3 (with emotion chip) allows COMPLETE back compatability with both ps2 and original playstation games.
C) The original 20gb PS3 (with emotion chip) allows space for a firmware mod-chip.
D) The original 20gb PS3 (with emotion chip) is the game developers primary choice for game testing, and sonys primary choice for firmware implementation and testing
E) The original 20gb PS3 (with emotion chip) had the original higher manufacturer quality parts.
The two best ps3’s for performance, quality and reliability have so far been:
1) The original 20gb PS3 (with emotion chip)
2) The very first roll-off of the 60gb Premium (with emotion chip) poduced in Japan.
Oh also
“my ps3 has a 500gb 2.5 sata 5400rpm 8mb cache harddrive”
Why not go for the 7200rpm 16mb Cache SATA3 version? I guess you decided to go for the cheaper option like most other people did when they purchased the 20gb version of the ps3, so don’t be so hypocritical of other peoples choices.
