The PlayStation Store experienced some problems on Black Friday, but they appear to be mostly resolved now.  It wasn’t a good day for problems, since PlayStation Network was having a big sale, and players wanted to get online and test out their games.

Gamers often have Black Friday off, too, so there was a considerable amount of Twitter complaining out there. According to Polygon, the Twitter search “PSN down” had hundreds of messages on it.

Sony posted a message on its support site: “You may have some difficulty accessing features and products on the PlayStation Store. Our engineers are working to resolve the issue as soon as possible, and we thank you for your patience.”

Sony also took to Twitter let people know where they could get more information:
