This error affects both PlayStation 4 and 3 users and it includes all the basic processes including browsing, searching, purchasing downloading, updating and more.
This issue arrives the same day that the new PlayStation 4 4.00 update was released and there was a new FIFA 17 demo but there is no reason to suspect that either of these were the cause of the problem.
