(adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}); We are not that far away from what PS3 owners have been waiting for, as Sony PSN is back up online for internal testing. OK, the PlayStation Network is still not live for users, but it is the closest we have been in the 17 days that the service has been down. The first test is to ensure that the security along with the network infrastructure, is working correctly.

According to PlayStation Blog, Sony is working with a number of outside entities to test the new security features, just to make certain that it will not be prone to future attacks. This is a very important step in the process of bringing PSN back online, and once all the necessary checks have been done, then we will be back in business.

The PlayStation Network Status has been an interesting one over the past couple of days; we knew that internal testing was about to begin, as well as a sorry letter from Sony Corporation CEO. However, none of this came to any comfort of those PSN users who have been waiting over two weeks, as well as the fact that their details are in the hands of some hackers – or worse.

Can we truly be about to start PS3 online gaming once again?

they will get hacked again, soon or later

omg awesome info

R.I.P psn & ps3. I don’t see sony ever recovering from this. Sure you MAY get the network back up some day (late May / early June my guess) but your fan base is diminished. Good luck when you try and sell the new psp2 or whatever you wanna call it. Not to mention the ps4 that will probably sell for 799.99 and still be screwed up. A moment of silence please for our playstations…………………………………………………………………………

all ready posts on this. I did one and it got closed eventually this one will be closed too. survey says post closed soon.

I wish all threads concerning psn be shut down. Only news team should be allowed to post this.

yea but news teams are days late in posting because they try to gather as much info and also try to make the thread look amazing

ive seen days go by before a news team posted something and by that time it was about 3days old

Well it sure beats having 20 threads with the same information, which we could all easily find on the playstation blog. So no point in making 50 new threads.

I really hope it is up before this weekend is over

I'm sorry but please shut up. You have no idea what you are talking about, either does the person you quoted.
They aren't testing "PSN" itself, They are having to pretty much RECREATE PSN. Ya know the network which probably took them like a year to create the first time? Now they are being rushed to do it in a few weeks. It's not hard. They are trying, Be patient.
