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.

I know you all want to know exactly when the services will be restored. At this time, I can't give you an exact date, as it will likely be at least a few more days. We're terribly sorry for the inconvenience and appreciate your patience as we work through this process.

Agree . But people do it because they think it is (new) News ! . And think it's going to get them a lot of rep .

Yeah I No. Because half of NGU are little kids .

There has been a huge amount of threads being made, speculating on the return of PSN.

A lot of users are getting most of their information from un-official and un-reliable sources. You are quite within your right to post a rumour but you should also be aware that, and it has been said before, the only place you will find any official information is from Sony themselves. I can't imagine that any outside company or website will have information to tell you before Sony does.

Anything you read on another website that hasn't been said on one of these blogs, will more than likely be false.

Also, when reading any of these updates, do yourself a favour and read through it thoroughly. Especially when you intend to copy and paste, it helps if you fully understand the information given and will help avoid being flamed by other users.
