PS3 ERROR!

I got FF xiv on PC and I have been able to log in and play, however my roommate has It for PS3 and is not able to even get on to create a toon or play at all. After he gets to the bind accounts (PSN/SQE) it comes up as an error [11070][500] server not responding. We were wondering if anybody has had this problem? We have even tried to create a new account and same error pops up. It seems as though nobody else has posted this problem, just the other common errors like the 1017 errors. Anybody know what is up with this or having the same problem?
