it'd be cool if Beyond Good & Evil HD was ready for PSN when it came back up.

Sony originally said there would be two stages to the restart. A partial restart of services within a week and then all services back within the month.
The May 31 bit refers to the latter, so there's not really any change there. I assume (hope!) they are still planning a partial restart for a core set of the services much sooner than that.

May 31st......
Huh? Yoshida just said that it would be up fully by then. That's what Sony has been saying since they mentioned the services going back online at that conference. We'll get online play back first and then the store will be up by the end of the month.

He did say fully up and running by end of May but the blog have always said some parts of PSN will be up sooner so I'm not going crazy just yet.

Sure it sux a lot but I think its expected.
Does anyone know how long it took to originally make/create PSN in 2006?
Even if that was 10 to 12 months.
What do you expect if they started from scratch and have it back in 2 weeks?
A month + is fairly quick I think.

fuck................ well its at least a date
Perhaps I have a lack of reading comprehension, but this latest piece of news is no different than anything they've said before. They always said the full PSN restoration should be done BY the end of the month, not AT the end of the month. Dunno why people get so riled up, all of a sudden.
Dropping that May 31st deadline for full restoration was cold as ice.
It stands to reason that the money systems and purchasing stuff is the last thing they will let loose after the internal testing, so...
When PSN is first brought back online, it could be that:

When PSN is first brought back online, it could be that:
- It is horribly slow and unstable.
- Syncing stuff and trophies will take forever.
- Online play is laggy and unstable.
- No store.
- No redeeming codes or actvations.
- PSN Plus accounts will be bugged.
- PSN will come and go as it pleases.
I've got to admit, I'm pretty pissed about the May 31st deadline, mainly because I've been waiting all of this time to buy Arcana Heart 3 and Mortal Kombat online. Neither of which I can do without full PSN service thanks to the great idea that is online passes and downloadable only retail sized games.
At this point though, I'm sort of over the PSN. I've filled the fighting game shaped holes in my life that it going down created with other stuff. Mainly single-player games.
As most people have stated, actual online play and other small services will be back soon, whilst likely most stuff involving transactions will be up by the end of the month, that has altered from their original statement of "within a month" when it was hacked in mid-late April, but it's sort of to be expected at this point.
Or you could be being a drama queen for the sake of it. I have bolded the two statements that are likely to be true. General network stuff may be slow for the first couple of days while they iron out the bugs and take a lot of traffic from people who have been eager to play online again, but hopefully not since they've spent so long remaking it.

Incoming journalist headlines of "PSN down till May 31st"?
The very fact he said that means it was already a discussed topic, not something new.
Oh and also...
As everyone has already said, don't we already know it's going to be at least a two stage process? I certainly do remember them saying multiple times partial restoration of PSN first, store and some other things later.

Christ it had better, this is ridiculous, May 31st?Nirolak said:
Yes, the OP of this topic clearly states it's a 2-step process.
Thanks SSX for finding the link I was looking for. This is not anything new, people.

i just want to play portal 2 and MK online. it's unfortunate that i managed to use my kombat kode before the outage otherwise i'd offload it for the 360 ver. kratos isn't that awesome :/
I read this differently.. I read it like the stuff that they had Scheduled for this month, would be checked before the restore the operations.. but maybe I´m just reading it wrong.. I just read it like the stuff scheduled for this month would be postponed untill the security is 100% done.. glad that I read it wrong..

Not missing PSN as much as i thought i would but then again i not buy a game since Dungeon Hunter and before then MVC3 had so much lag and broken for me to care about it .
I just happy this happen when there got nothing for me to really play but it must really suck for people who bought games to play online.
