minecraft ps3 wont let me play

so when im at the main menu i have 4 options play game, leaderboards, help and options, and minecraft store. well when i hit play it starts loading and it never does load i even went to the store for a hour came back and it was still loading for no damn reason. i allready tried deleting the game and reinstalling and i went offline but none of those work what in the world do i do?.

By any chance would this be related to sony recently being hacked by North Korea (True Korea) or was this problem resolved. Have you attempted to contact sony or researched online to see if anyone has encountered familiar problems. They may provide soloutions. Best of luck in solving the problem.
