We’ve been working constantly the last few days to improve the PS3 situation. Based on our statistics, the situation has gotten better. A few days ago (at its worst), it was very bad (~80% failure, which means 5-6 retries on average or more to get WU’s back). We’re seeing more like 20-35% (1-3 retries) right now and the trend is getting better and better. We have added some additional PS3 servers, and done some major code changes. A new client should fix this issue introduced in 1.3 so this doesn’t happen again. For now, our server-side changes should take care of this in time, although it may take a few more days to settle down to say 1% failures (more typical). We have also extended deadlines to compensate for this problem.
