What do you mean how I think it'll come back.. I never said it wasn't going to I just knew it wasn't going to be as fast as you and some others were saying, and sure enough.. yeah..
You said it wasn't going to pop back online, so what exactly do you think it will do? Slowly charge up and start like a car engine? Anyway it's coming back 1 A.M. I knew it wasn't going to take that long but people really are impatient... :|

And it didn't pop back online.. you and a few others were expecting it to be back like a week ago from your tones.. I just knew it wasn't going to instantly come back up quickly.. the Govt had to investigate e.t.c. e.t.c. and all of those factors led to the delay of reinstating the service while Sony fixed their problems and dealt with a few of the world governments looking over their performance.

It did pop back online though, just later.
Anyway some details on their welcome back package. Looks like a great deal! http://blog.us.playstation.com/2011/05/16/details-for-playstation-network-and-qriocity-customer-appreciation-program-in-north-america/

I'd suggest WipEout HD Fury for the PS3, that game is awesome!

You know what I mean by "pop online" Neo.. and half way through May is not popping back online. The actual part that we as users can notice (it actually resuming) always is instant because it's essentially the last step.. all of the reconfiguring, investigations, planning, execution of plans e.t.c. took quite awhile.

And I'll probably nab up inFamous and Wipeout.. not that I will play either a ton. xD

I actually did not know that is what you meant and I did not think it would be coming back immediately I just knew it would be back soon. They delayed it for a week? That's a tiny amount of time compared to what it could have taken.

Anyways, doesn't look like we're back online in Australia. So I guess we're still waiting.

Looks like I'll be waiting a bit longer after that since the only thing I'm really wating for is the PS Store anyway.
...Actually, you may be waiting longer than that;

Technically it's still got some pertinent information. Such as the list of games that we can get from this problem.

A specialist is now warning ALL game companies that the threat that happened to Sony could happen to anyone in the industry. Not to point the obvious, but pretty much any company that holds CC info. Major banks have already been breached in a large scale before. Recently Square Enix Montreal got hacked Twice! I think the future being all cloud and digital download is never going to happen because of this.

Trying to go with a theme this time
I think unless Sony finds the sorce of the hacks and bring them to justice, they'll never get PSN back up permanently.

So quick question. Do we know when the package for PSP and PS3 will be up? Cause I know the Steam Packages are up but I don't really want to get any stuff for DCUO (I don't even play it anymore so it wouldn't really benefit me to use the package for it).

You mean the Welcome Back program? The store is supposedly going to be back up some time tomorrow so I assume shortly thereafter.

Through the Playstation Blog, Sony has announced that the Playstation Store will not be publicly reactivated today. Instead, the PSN will be under going maintenance from 11am-8pm Eastern (approximately). Sony reports that users may experience trouble logging in, but that the network is not down. Use of all currently enabled PSN services should be functional throughout the maintenance period. Yesterday, Sony announced through Playstation Blog that the PSP will be getting its restorative system update (v.6.39) “soon”. Sony gave no better indication of when the update will be released. The deadline for full PSN restoration is still May 31, so expect the update to come within the next seven days.

So yeah we get to wait a while longer before it comes back up again.

Okay so sorry for the double post. But we have an update guys. Apparently the Welcome Back Package is available. Check here for details.

I can't seem to download via browser so I'll have to wait for mine when I finally get to a WiFi Hotspot to download them to my PSP. (Or when we get our shiny new internet ala Cox in a week) And apparently if you own both systems you can get two for the PS3 AND two for the PSP. So have at that guys. ^_^
