Keep it official
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.

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.

Still nothing new to report, last checked at 2.45pm GMT.
Although the information that Soney gives us is rubbish, it's still the only official source in my eyes.

Cake is a lie
I find it odd that the previous blog said they were "in the final stages of testing" and then all of a sudden now they had to delay because they didnt relize the severity of the SOE attacks. Whats the point of working "night and day" to fix something, if you STILL dont realize severity of some things.
I dont plan on going to 360 and if I didnt I wouldnt do like lames here and make a thread trying to get attention. But as customers we are being very loyal to Sony. But now I dont believe shit they say about "a few days". I am starting to think they knew it would be a month, but if they told us that from the beginning, a high percentage of people would sell their PS3. I love my PS3 and have zero of these feminist issues with Sony that some of the geeks around here do. But as a guy that bought a PS3 to play games, leaving us in the dark is really starting to piss me off.
