Sony recently revealed that they aim to have PSN and Qriocity back up and running “within a week”.
In a Q&A on Sony’s blog the company explained “Our employees have been working day and night to restore operations as quickly as possible, and we expect to have some services up and running within a week from yesterday.”
This means hopefully PSN will be up by May the 4th although Sony was quick to point out “we want to be very clear that we will only restore operations when we are confident that the network is secure.” Fingers crossed PSN will be back soon and online gaming can once again be enjoyed.

This should not have happened in the first place. Security should be top notch when dealing with the personal info of 77 million users. Step it up Sony.

I heard from an unknown source that the hacker/hackers got information about most peoples credit cards.
