PSN Back Up

Sony Needs to answer Why PlayStation Network is Still Down, and When Iy Will Be Back Up 

As the PlayStation Network (PSN) outage enters its fourth day, there seems to be some light at the end of the tunnel. Sources suggest that some major restructuring work has almost been completed, and the servers will start to be switched back on in the next 24 hours or so. It’s believed that Japan will be first to get service restored, some time on Monday, with the US and Europe following on Tuesday. If those timings prove to be correct, the network will have been out for almost a week.

With spring break hitting this week, the PSN downtime has come at the worst possible moment for many gamers. There are still few details of the exact nature of the outage, other than the suggestion that Sony deliberately shut it down in response to an ‘external intrusion’ event. In other words, hackers didn’t pull the network down, but Sony did, probably because they were worried about what the hackers either had done or might do.
