Anyone who just purchased a shiny new PlayStation 4 for Black Friday may be in for a bit of a holdup, as PlayStation Network is currently having issues with users signing in.

The issue was confirmed on Sony’s support page, where music playback and login issues are both currently listed as being worked on.
