PlayStation Network Down Until May 31st?

Sony still "verifying the system security"

PlayStation Network Down Until May 31st?

According to a Tokyo-based Sony spokesman, the PlayStation Network and Qriocity services may not get a full reboot until May 31st.

Shigenori Yoshida told Bloomberg that Sony is currently uncertain when they can begin to restore services. He says that a rough plan to restart the services fully by May 31st “remains unchanged.”

So what will come back on before then remains the biggest question.

Last week, Sony announced that they would try to restore “some services” within a few days, but that time has come and gone and the PSN is still down. As part of what they called the “initial phase” of rolling out restored services, they said that they planned to have online play on the PS3 and PSP, chat, and PlayStation Home up and running.

As we begin the new week, these services have yet to be restored.

The latest message on the official PlayStation blog states that internal testing is still going on, and that the systems can’t go back online until Sony can 100% assure the security of their users’ information:

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.

In the weeks that this saga has been playing out, Sony has upset most everyone involved with their handling of the situation. It took the company over a week to notify users that their personal information had been compromised. Customers have also expressed that they feel a lack of general concern from Sony. Last week, the company announced that it would be giving out a gift bundle to loyal users that includes free downloadable content, 30 free days of PlayStation Plus and music unlimited to Qriocity subscribers.

But if some people’s services are down for over a month, these gestures of good will may not suffice.

Last week, it was reported that hackers were planning another weekend attack of the PlayStation servers. Information of that actually happening has yet to surface. Last week, Sony implicated Anonymous in the original April attacks that prompted the initial shutdown. The hactivist group has denied involvement.

When Yoshida says that Sony still “plans to restart the services fully” on May 31st, it most likely doesn’t mean that all users’ online capabilities will be down until the end of this month. Sony continues to say that they will restore “some services” (WoW Gold Guide) as soon as possible. It looks like PS3 owners will just have to hope that “some services” are in fact restored before the end of the month and that they include PSN online gaming capabilities.

WHAT a joke….(sigh)……..well, this is a unique business model I’d say – skimp on basic internet security then prove to you customers that you had NO backup plan to deal with the possibility of a major HACK ATTACK. Nice job SONY. X-BOX here I come.

    Everything your saying is right. But they are not wrong either. Sony should have been prepared for this. Many people are going to switch to xbox now. If they want to downgrade let them. They will realize what a waste of money the xbox is when they get it.

        Exactly, People act like Microsoft is so much better at taking care of their customers. I will be quite amused when a similar incident occurs as it undoubtedly will for the 360. watch them botch the job and see it get hacked again in a few months. Then everyone will jump back onto the PS3 bandwagon and I’ll have called it.

        True they are having to do a lot of work but this not something they are starting from scratch. i do this for a living so i know whats involved. with the money and manpower sony is supposedly throwing around, something should fixed at this point. im not so angry at the time this is taking as i am the lack of preparation sony has displayed. with a security breach occurring earlier last month, they should of been on high alert but they fumbled the ball. then there is the lack of communication. the last few updates are very vague and basically just posted to say that there was an update. its very poor public relations. and as for the people who keep saying that we should stop complaining about “free” service being down, well its not free for some of us. i play DCUO, have netflix, and hulu plus so unless im compensated in some way for this (which doesnt look promising) i will have lost roughly $37.
        bottom line, sony was unprepared and is now looking like a fool.

  This is a pretty disappointing situation. Although I do not put blame fully on sony, you would think THIS would be the last thing that would happen to them. Assuming they have big buck payed employees preventing this at ALL times. I have since purchased a xbox 360 and black ops (again) to continue my online gaming. I rely on my ps3, and hope this is a one time only issue. I would hate to lose faith of sony products. Because most of my major electronics are “sony”, and it has been that way for a long time.

I don’t hold anything against Sony itself because it’s not “really” their fault for going down, but I already gave up. Got XBL yesterday and will be doing things on there from now on aside from the PS exclusives.

SONY

I AM NOT SURPRISED, CHECK OUT THE UPDATE FROM THE INTERNAL TESTING ENGINEERS, THEY STATED THAT THERE ARE OVER 6500 GLITCHES ON THE SYSTEM AND IT WOULD TAKE THEM ANOTHER 4 WEEKS TO PATCH. I’M GLAD I BOUGHT MY XBOX LAST WEEK, BETTER THAN HAVING A USELESS P.O.S. SYSTEM NEXT TO MY TV. YOU CAN COUNT ON 1 THING: I WILL NOT BE BUYING ANYTHING FROM SONY ANYMORE, AND I WILL BE GETTING RID OF ANY SONY PRODUCTS THAT I OWN, STARTING WITH THE PS3, THE TWO VAIO SYSTEMS I OWN AND MY CAMERA JUST TO NAME A FEW…

  I think in this case maybe the xbox 360 might be the best alternative. Im just sick of the waiting when you pay hundreds of dollars for what was the best system around and now you cant even get the full functions that come with the system. Therefore i feel like i wasted my money. I might as well throw it in the trash because i doubt anyone will buy it. With postings saying psn will come up in a few day, a week or whatever they say and never does come up, I think psn is still highly hackable and i might not be able to trust psn ever again. well i guess thats what you get for having an unstable network…..xbox sounding alot better right now!

    Both systems have flaws, YLOD and RROD. I have 4 360′s, one I bought new 3 years ago and it works just fine, the other 3 are ones I bought with RROD and repaired 2 years ago and work just fine. I also own 2 ps3′s that I bought with YLOD and a bad BD laser which I repaired and work fine. The key is to take them apart and clean out the dust inside every 6 months or so so they stay cool. Neither system sucks, they both have different XMB’s that you have to get use to. Yeah, paying for live sucks but I haven’t had my personal info stolen like with PSN.

I don’t see what the big deal is. I could understand if the service wasn’t free then heck yeah complain. But the service is free and Sony is giving out free shit for users who aren’t not paying for the network. Stuff happen, yeah Sony should have been prepared for this. But they weren’t, so be patient stop crying and wait for the server.
I predict that the network will not be restore until the end of May beginning of June.

  That’s the dumbest things I’ve heard yet. How much did your PS3 cost? What about the the COD combo pack? Special controllers…? Playstation move…? Give me a break because this is the worst excuse of them all. Sony’s products and services were all purchased under the pretense that Sony’s online network is free. In some cases people spend more money for Sony’s products because of this fact. Sony f’d up bad. Not only is their staff too incompetent to fend off hackers, but their PR handling of this event makes it thee Exxon Valdez of the tech world.

    I’m speaking more in terms of online gaming. Of course you will pay for ps3 exclusives. But ask your self this do you pay for PlayStation online. No.. You pay for the games that you want. I’m not speaking interns of products.The only fault that I see with Sony is that they didn’t not warn gamers as soon as the problem accured.

        Your example of a blue ray player not working, that’s a hardware, so you assume that should work. The network situation isn’t really the same, but I get what you mean. I personally didn’t buy the ps3 for free online gaming. It’s an awesome plus, but some people did just buy it for the blu-ray player in addition to games, or were just not fans of Microsoft.

        but you DO pay for free gaming!
        
        you do pay for free gaming… the price of it is built into the cost of the games that are playable online… see prices.
        
        come on… no business would be dumb enough to give shit away if they did not receive an active ROI.
        
        do you think the toys in the happy meals are really free? how much would a happy meal or a ps3 game really cost if they didn’t give you something “free” with it?

      Yes, we don’t pay for psn, but what about my mlb.tv $120 waste? I don’t own a computer so I have no way to watch it. Same with Hulu plus and qirocity…. Why couldn’t Hulu plus and mlb.tv work independentely like Netflix? I am attempting to get a refund for mlb.tv but they did say it was Sony who tethered it to psn, so it’s not so free.

  Yeah that me true I have the 500 GB PS3 with the move. But I’m not gonna rush to sell my PS3. I use if for more that gaming, surfing the net, watching Blue ray movies, playing Cd’s etc. Heck I’ve completed a few campaign modes and got some yard work done.
  Sony will reward those who stick in there. Besides people tend to forget that Micro Soft Xbox system crashed sometime ago. And in return the gave all there gamers a free arcade game. And that’s a pay site.
  PlayStation Network is free,I do feel for the hand held. If anything they should be on the ones complaining because they get there games from the network.
  The PlayStation is more than a gaming console it’s a entertainment system. So if you have games that you have not completed the campaign modes, feel free to do so and unlock trophies. It’s not like the system needs online access to operate. Ahh how I remember the PS1 days with out internet.

  besides its not sony who made this problem its not like they made a call one morning to the hackers and said hey hack our software and screw up our system cause they lose business over this shit so stop whining like little babys and grow up and get girl friends or something!!!

  The reason why I said the end of May beginning of June. Sony will get this monkey off there back. Trust me when it’s up and running you will have 30 day free of the gametesters package. You will have a year of free security updates (NORTON) and many more.
  
  People are speaking about trading in there PS3′s and going to XBOX.
  Well they are going to take a lost. For the 120gb PS3 Gamestop is giving gamers 130.00 for the system. That’s not including the balance you have to fork out for a new system. Buy all new games and then pay for internet uses. Not to mention XBOX Live monitors your console.
  
  Just wait bro it will pay off.

lmfao all you guys jumping over to xbox seriously need to take a good look at your lives. If you can’t live without psn for a matter of a couple of weeks to the extent that you go and spend atleast £200 on an xbox where u will then STILL have to pay for online, then you really have issues. I’ll admit that i’m missing playing online too but there are other things to do and i remain loyal to sony. I can go without online gaming for awhile.

DUMBEST BULLSHIT EVER!!!! im a gamer. all around. u put a system their and its gonna get played. i play all systems… i dont discriminate… i’ll deal wit outage and b here when it returns.. ps3 here to stay.

Ok first off saburwolf shut the fuck up. So it’s all just free. I paid 350 for my ps3 + 50-60$ each game. And you are saying it was all free? Wow you just need to not post. We are pissed off because our company the we use to play this shit are failing. They are making themselves look like shit. Saying that it will be back then saying no, another 30 days. Is a very very bad business move. Millions of people will switch to xbox. So shut your dumb Fucking mouth cause I’m pretty sure that I pay for these games to play them with other people. They made games to go strictly to online. So yes we are pissed off. I’m only staying with Sony because I don’t want to have to get 30 platinum trophies for 360. Fuck that

It’s a full entertainment system if you want to play games just put a disk in and complete campaign mode for those who aren’t sports inclined. Or don’t have a gym in your local area, heck take your dog for a walk..

Yeah and for SOE things are even more complicated. Those services are down too AND Sony let the billing cycle go through on the cards, on accounts that cannot be canceled or modified, on their unsecure network.

C’mon Sony. We own 3 PS3s, 2 that are ONLY used for online game play. We have spent a huge amount of money on our gaming set ups that are useless while PSN is down. If you,Sony, had been truthful from the start we wouldn’t be so P’ed off. So now we are left with NO PSN, VERY LITTLE INFORMATON FROM YOU, and A GAMING ROOM THAT IS NOT BEING USED!!! We are really starting to think about jumping ship and saying GOODBYE to you Sony!

  go to XBL and have to pay for the game and then pay to play the game online its a joke ur all jokes for complaining… Sony has put so much more shit in there product then xbox did for the same amount of money….Blu-ray,Free online gaming,Good game releases…So everyone go to xbox and play with the 4 years old on COD,Halo,and Gears of War cause thats the only three titles that barely made xbox…Sony take time to actually fix the problem instead of sending it out early and everything fails again..(xbox ring of death first released)

    Jo, or should I say Jo(ke), we are neither PS3fans nor Xbox fans. We are COD fans. We work hard and like to come home and play online as a family. 2 of us ONLY play the CODs games as most other games don’t interest us. If you think Sony has treated us fairly then you need to wake up! Sony needs to pull their finger out and start informing us on what’s going on and just how long its gonna take. And Jo(ke), are you forgetting the YLoD? Wake up little PS3 fanboy!

i can wait as long as necessary. i have other things i can do to keep my mind off this. im not worried in the slightest, and i agree with Gerry the more people that go to xbox the less people on psn. its a win win as far as i see it.

QQ more… Some of you complain too much about not being able to use your FREE services for a few days… And those of you that want to get rid of your Sony equipment, feel free to send it my way! Ive used Sony electronics since I was a kid, and it has ALWAYS been high quality products… Unlike Microsoft mass produced and overpriced equipment… (I have an xbox as well, and even work on microsoft products for a living) I garauntee if XBL was targeted by someone as efficient as anonymous, (not to accuse anon) XBL would be downed… Internet security is the highest vulnerability and to a point, unpredictable…
