Well, at least they're communicating a little more.

Wow a statement that says nothing but please don't go postal on us while your online capabilities are down for an undetermined amount of time.Originally Posted by cdj
I just wanna headshot someone on SOCOM. That's all.
When PSN goes back online, I'm considering calling them and demanding credit ($) for their network rendering my subscription to NHL Gamecenter Live useless on my PS3.
That's a separate subscription agreement and you can still access it from your laptop. Hook your laptop up to your tv.
Latest rumors are that PSN should start returning to Japan on Monday, and return to US and Europe on Tuesday.

I know, but the picture quality suffers, there are different replay/classic games options on the ps3 and since I'm not a PS+ guy I had to pay ($10 I think) for Gamecenter on the ps3.
I don't anticipate getting any credit, I just wanna take out some frustration on Sony. I'm also gonna call the Gamecenter # and tell them I don't intend to renew for 2011-12 because of PSN. Just stirring the pot. If you charge me for a service, you should refund if you can't provide it.
GameCenter isn't free like MLB.tv? Well that's a little different. Ah well, in the meantime I subscribed to iRacing and I don't even care about PSN at the moment. Though I want to play SOCOM, so if it could hurry up.
The GameCenter app is only free to PS+ subscribers. $10 for any "free" PSN users.

Yep, and since I had to pay for it, they're gonna hear about it.
Which, btw, you PS+ guys should bellyache that you want $ or double the number of days lost to be added to your subscription length.
But you have to pay $160 for the season.
http://blog.us.playstation.com/2011/04/25/psn-update/I know you are waiting for additional information on when PlayStation Network and Qriocity services will be online. Unfortunately, I don’t have an update or timeframe to share at this point in time.
As we previously noted, this is a time intensive process and we’re working to get them back online quickly. We’ll keep you updated with information as it becomes available. We once again thank you for your patience.
Will PS4 come out before PSN is back up and running?
Sony had to think they were going to get railed by saying our update is we have no update.
From Joystiq:
According to PSX-Scene former moderator, "chesh," the now six-day-long PlayStation Network outage is the result of a particularly exploitative custom firmware (CFW) modification for PS3. In a post on Reddit, chesh claims that a CFW known as "Codename: Rebug" had given its users the ability to log into PSN as if they were doing so from a developer console (or "debug unit").
As a result, chesh contends, this same exploit allowed its users to add funds from "dummy" credit card accounts into their PSN wallets, ostensibly giving them the ability to "unlock" (read: steal) certain PlayStation Store content. Joystiq's research into the purported exploit has turned up multiple tutorials detailing the process, which appears alarmingly easy to execute on consoles running the Rebug CFW.
The hack does not allow its users to access the credit card or other personal information of PSN users, chesh adds. Nevertheless, as we reported earlier today, Sony is working to rule out information theft as part of its investigation during the maintenance outage in which the company is also implementing new security measures.
Sony has not yet responded to our request for comment on this story.
wow. it used to be silly viruses you had to watch out for. now these kids living in the basement are just into stealing stuff.
I saw that story a few other places. It's suspect for one reason ... in the other articles, they said that "Rebug" was release March 31. I'd have a hard time believing that Sony took down the network 3 weeks after release of "Rebug", just to stop people using it, and have to take down the servers for this long. It just doesn't jive.

Geesh what's with kids today. We need to get back to the morals and values of countless hours spent on internet por... er... I mean religious studies...
That was my first thought when it went down. Can you imagine how much money Sony would lose every second they left that hole open? It hasn't been wide spread til recently, so I'm pretty sure that's what got the attention of Sony and forced them to shut down the servers and perform this lengthy maintenance on the network.
If reports of 100% online no disc games for next next gen systems is true, an event like this would be devestating. My PS3 sports gaming is my wind down time. Take that away and I would not be a happy camper. Thhe more tech advances the more tech hackers advance. That could be a scary proposition...
