am i right in that we just login or register, then were automatically entered?

YEah, that's what it said to me. It's got a bad certificate, that's why some of the problems are happening, it's being treat like a phishing site because of that ...and it's asking to store data on our machines, not on theirs, so unless you don't do that already that's not a problem.

I tracked the site down to see who owned the domain and it comes up clean and not a dodgy site perporting to be EA


Registrant:
Electronic Arts, Inc.

Is who and where it's at

If you ever get problems with a suss site, try the domain in here, and "whois" should give you some peace of mind if it's genuine , the ping tool will tell you if it's up and running and how fast, and traceroute tool there will find where the server is based, unless like this one it hits a series of firewalls (which is a good thing that maybe Sony could have thought of to protect their customers from hackers).
http://ping.eu/ns-whois/ is the site for checking this stuff easily.
