WHO WANTS TO HEAR NEW UPDATE ABOUT PSN RESTORATION?!?

Question

As you may know, we’ve begun the process of restoring the service through internal testing of the new system. We’re still working to confirm the security of the network infrastructure, as well as working with a variety of outside entities to confirm with them of the security of the system. Verifying the system security is vital for the process of restoration. Additional comprehensive system checks and testing are still required, and we must complete that process before bringing the systems online.

As you’ve heard us say, our utmost priorities are the security of the network and ensuring your data is safe. We won’t restore the services until we can test the system’s strength in these respects.

When we held the press conference in Japan last week, based on what we knew, we expected to have the services online within a week. We were unaware of the extent of the attack on Sony Online Entertainment servers, and we are taking this opportunity to conduct further testing of the incredibly complex system. We know many of you are wanting to play games online, chat with your friends and enjoy all of the services PlayStation Network and Qriocity services have to offer, and trust me when I say we’re doing everything we can to make it happen. We will update you with more information as soon as we have it. We apologize for the delay and inconvenience of this network outage.

Answer 1

this is the latest one:



Today our global network and security teams at Sony Network Entertainment and Sony Computer Entertainment began the final stages of internal testing of the new system, an important step towards restoring PlayStation Network and Qriocity services.

As previously mentioned, we’ve been working around the clock to rebuild the network and enhance protections of your personal data. It’s our top priority to ensure your data is safe when you begin using the services again.

We understand that many of you are eager to again enjoy the PlayStation Network and Qriocity entertainment services that you love, so we wanted you to be aware of this milestone and our progress. We will provide additional updates as soon as we can.

Answer 2

PSN will likely return. When is anyone's guess. On April 21 Sony said it'd be a day or two...



There is a chance that Sony Online Entertainment will NOT be brought back. They recently laid off 1/3 of their staff on March 31, 2011, they canceled several projects, and SOE has been posting operating losses every quarter. Now it's estimated that this will cost $1 billion to restore.



The games on SOE will still exist somewhere. They'll likely be sold off or managed by other companies. If SOE is brought back, it will be only for the purpose of making it a viable product to sell.
