Millions go on the Playstation network around the world every day. It is never the same number and you did not even ask about the Playstation network and just the PS3. How would someone know when you use the PS3 except for online use
Yes the PSN was back up and running and they provided some free games and downloads and even a 30 day Playstation Plus membership when it came back up in June 2011
It is not the Playstation 3 network that you can get a free month of. The Playstation Network is free. What you can get free is a 30 day membership in Playstation Plus when you purchase a new PS3. It is not that much of a benefit as you can get a full year of Playstation Plus for only $50 or $18 for a 3 month trial. Playstation Plus gives you discounts and free offers from the Playstation Store and is not needed for any online game playing. PSN + also has an automatic update feature for the PS3 and the games so you never have to wait while the system or game is updated before you play
Simply you need an Internet connection and a valid email address. After you boot you PS3 up, go into the PlayStation Network menu and hit "Sign up for PlayStation Network" From there you simply put in your Date of Birth, Email address, Desired User-name and Address. There also is a optional survey to fill in. Hope this helps.
The PlayStation Network is done for 'unscheduled maintenance' and may be down for another day or two(day after Easter monday or 2 days after Easter monday.

Not if your watching your money. If buying a game the day it comes out is something you do instead of waiting for the price to drop then it may be worth it.
