PS3 Online Killed By Free Gran Turismo HD

PS3 Gran Turismo HD overload
Gran Turismo HD was so popular among PS3 users attempting to download the free demo that PlayStation Online was rendered useless for many users for a few hours today.
According to many members on the PlayStation.com forums, users were prompted to do a firmware update, which then resulted in error code 8002A280. People calling Sony were told by reps that the network was overloaded due to the amount of people all attempting the download at the same time.
The problem appears to be fixed now.
