PSN down after hack - could be back on Tuesday?

Since last Wednesday, when Sony suffered a PlayStation Network hack the entire World Wide PSN has been down. Sony are trying to restore from backups but further attacks have caused the company to spend time trying to avoid a repeat.


Let's hope it returns soon and nobody's data has been lost. The problem is affecting more than 70million gamers worldwide.

Official Sony statement on the outage...

We sincerely regret that PlayStation Network and Qriocity services have been suspended, and we are working around the clock to bring them both back online. Our efforts to resolve this matter involve re-building our system to further strengthen our network infrastructure. Though this task is time-consuming, we decided it was worth the time necessary to provide the system with additional security.


We thank you for your patience to date and ask for a little more while we move towards completion of this project. We will continue to give you updates as they become available.
