PSN is down for some users, including myself. I seen the hardware issue also and about shit myself..thinking I dont want to send this in as I stream alot through ps3 on a daily basis. Researching some more google news confirms that PSN is having a issues with certain users giving the code error that you posted.

I think its very wide spread because I'm in the U.S. and alot of other countries are having the same issue.
