As most of you already know the "PlayStation Network" has been down since April 20th due to an external intrusion. While Sony is rebuilding their network and going after those responsible for this terrible attack, most of us are wondering when the PlayStation Network will be back up and running.
I found an article that I thought I would share, I just woke up by the way.

Sony has confirmed that it hopes to restore some fuctionality to the PSN service by next Tuesday in a new statement on the PlayStation Blog.
"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. However, we want to be very clear that we will only restore operations when we are confident that the network is secure."
Dated April 27, the update posted by Patrick Seybold (Sr. Director, Corporate Communications & Social Media), would put the estimated return date for PSN services as May 3, meaning that the service will have been offline for two weeks.
Although which services will be coming back online next week is unclear, Sony has stated they are working on new security measures for the future, as well as seeking out those responsible for the breach, confirming they "are working closely with a recognised technology security firm in order to find those responsible for this criminal act, no matter where in the world they might be located."
Hackers - lock your doors. Sony's coming after you.

I think they are telling the truth this time, and it will be back up by Tuesday or at least in most regions. What happened is not something you can fix in a few hours and the reason they said it would only take a couple days last week was because they didn't realize how serious the intrusion was. Just a couple days ago is when they actually found out what went wrong. Just give them some time, they are already under enough pressure!

No, they never had a eta, every date that was told were rumors by retards.
The only legit eta is ''within a week''
