PlayStation Network Back up : After outage wrap-up (update)


After the huge PlayStation Network Security Breach and weeks of little to no communication between Sony and their customers. Now Playstation Network is back up and running in some states in the U.S. at least. It is currently up in California, New York, Vermont, New Hampshire, Massachusetts, Rhode Island, Connecticut, New Jersey, and more as of the time this article was written and the Playstation blog will keep users updated with a map that shows where the service is up and down inside the United States. In the states that have the Playstation Network service running, though, there may be problems connecting because it will take time for the servers to “populate fully.” It was just yesterday that, while recording a podcast, we discussed how long it would take for Sony to bring the Playstation Network services completely back up and guessed that it would be by the beginning of Summer. Now Sony has taken their sweet time bringing it back up. As Sony said, it should be back up for the whole U.S. by the end of May. For foreign users we have no news yet.
