PS3 Rock of Ages users experiencing multiplayer connection issues

The situation is rocky for owners of the newly released PS3 version of Rock of Ages who are trying to play online. Or perhaps not rocky enough. In any case, users are reporting inability to join games created by friends, and freezes within multiplayer lobbies.

Ace Team is aware of the issue, and is currently trying to determine how widespread it is and how to address it. We're also checking in with publisher Atlus. In the meantime, Rock of Ages owners ... the single-player is fun!
