PlayStation network services are gradually coming back online following a suspected attack by hackers on Christmas Day, Sony has said.
Hacking group Lizard Squad claimed responsibility for the attack, which also affected Microsoft 's Xbox Live.
The disruption left online gamers frustrated as they unwrapped their new consoles on Christmas morning.
PlayStation online services are down for a third day amid claims the network was hacked on Christmas Day.
Microsoft's Xbox service was also affected but was back up and running by last night.
Hacking group, the Lizard Squad, said they had now stopped any attacks on the network but some users were still reporting problems.
Neither Sony nor Microsoft would say what disrupted their networks and experts say it is difficult to trace the source of attacks or confirm claims of responsibility.
Sony Online Entertainment said on Twitter: "We are working to restore full network services for all platforms - thanks, as always, for your patience!"
