Yea went online to check the DCUO forums and read the notice. To quote Jules Winfield: "This is some f#cked up, repugnant sh#t!"
I'm considering jumping ship. This is getting ridiculous.
Supposedly the Japanese PSN is already back up and the US/EU gets it back tomorrow.

Looks like Sony will FORCE you to change the password.Originally Posted by JBHuskers
#1 thing to do, change password
From Joystiq:
During the marathon late-night press conference this weekend, Sony cleared up plans for the reactivation of PSN and the nature of the attack that led to its being taken down. What it didn't clear up was the status of users' credit cards.
Responding to rumors that credit card numbers were offered for sale on forums -- and even presented to Sony in an attempt to get the company to buy it back -- SCEA PR director Patrick Seybold said that "to my knowledge there is no truth to this report of a list, or that Sony was offered an opportunity to purchase the list." It's not quite a categorical denial of credit card information being leaked -- but at least it's confirmation that nobody's trying to extort Sony with it.
Seybold reiterated what Kaz Hirai said Sunday morning: that nobody from Sony will contact you seeking any ID. Should someone do so, they are up to something nefarious.
So... any clue when/if PSN will be back up tomorrow?
The last I heard it goes up for everyone else tomorrow at some point. However, I haven't seen Sony come out and out right say that. They said within a week last Wednesday, though, so I would assume so.
Probably around the same time the usual PSN update goes up? Round 5 or 6 central?
That might explain what I was seeing this morning. I was seeing news reports that the PSN was up, though the Store won't be back for a little longer. Fast forward to when I finally come home tonight, and PSN is still down and all of those news articles have disappeared.

I figured the store would be the last to be up and for right now just basic online functionality.
I doubt it. I'm hoping/assuming it'll be up sometime in the morning. I don't see why they would wait til evening when the store is usually updated just to bring it back online. Of course, it's Sony, so who knows.
It will be interesting to see what type of hit paid services on the PSN network will take following resumption of services. I have no interest in seeing any of my credit info go towards the service... paid point cards only.
If it is just online gaming capability tomorrow, I could see first thing in the morning.
One thing that IGN brought up is the fact that those who don't have PS+ and are getting a month free....what happens when that month is up? Currently you lose what you got from PS+....due to this catastrophe, are they going to change that stance, and allow you to own it for life?
Doubt it. It's probably more about giving them access to discounts and having it serve as a trial to get people to join the service.
I was wondering this as well JB, I mean I'm not a member but will probably download some stuff for sure. It would be cool if you could keep it for life so to speak, but this would really surprise me big time if they did this. Great question though. This is your task today, find us an answer on that question.
Hell if IGN can't get that answer, I sure as hell ain't gonna
I can give you the answer right now... you're not going to be able to keep anything that was free once PSN+ runs out.
Yeah, there's a difference between a free download and a PS+ "free" download. Anything bought on the cheap stays but any "free" game received via PS+ will be unplayable after the month is up.
