It's never almost over. Every time you think it might be, "just a few more days". So stop worrying and learn to love these threads.

I don't really get why people care that much about getting updates. All the updates are is "we're working on it", they could post it once a week, once a day or once an hour it makes no difference.

Yeah, the PSN Downtime threads have been absolutely hilarious. A nice, entertaining feature that Sony's going to take away when they get PSN back up. Always with the taking. Y U NO LERN LESSAN!

You are... no, it can't be!

A poster on the NeoGAF forums, Kagari, says that he has confirmed with sources in the development community that PSN is up and running, although she says "things are still a bit shaky at the moment."

Well, first off, they don't need to be that lazy. Second of all, it does clarify the situation a little bit in the sense that, if it's been a few days since the last "few more days" update, and they say it again, you now know that the last "few more days" update wasn't a sign that it should be up momentarily now. That is, of course, assuming you're the optimistic type and thought it would be up soon in the first place.

They said "at least a few more days" I believe. I think that's easily a week. I'm thinking Tuesday maybe, but we'll probably get an update Monday.

It's a sign that you're working on the issue and you care about those who might be wondering at that time, "What's going on?" It's just good business. Being in the dark and seeing no updates for days gives the appearance that nothing is going on, even if Heaven and Hell is being moved to bring something up.

And they sure as shit won't release anything over the weekend.

So Monday-Friday next week if we're lucky?

The fact that you're prefacing your estimate with "I think" is exactly why a clarification might be in order. Further, I don't think it would be a bad idea to spin a yarn about what the process has been like.

LMAO at the comments.

"The Playstation Blog guys are jerks. I just asked them what they were doing for lunch and they replied "We have no updates concerning lunch""

If an update came with new information yeah, I'd welcome it, but people seem to want daily updates even if they say the exact same thing as if they need constant reassurance Sony is actually working to fix it. We know they are, I don't really see what difference it makes personally.

UH OH

(Reuters) - Sony Corp's computer networks remain vulnerable to attack three weeks after the company learned that it had been victim of one of the biggest data breaches in history, according to an Internet security expert.

The expert found a handful of security flaws in Sony's networks while remotely studying its systems via the Internet to see how difficult it would be to penetrate the electronics giant's systems in the wake of the attacks.

Security researcher John Bumgarner discovered a potential bonanza for hackers by using little more than a web browser, Google's search engine and a basic understanding of Internet security systems.

"Sony still has several external security issues that need to be addressed," said Bumgarner, chief technology officer for the U.S. Cyber Consequences Unit, a research group funded by government and private sector grants that monitors Internet threats.

None of those flaws relate to the Playstation Network- just random Sony sites and other companies that aren't SCEA/E/I/N.

Bumgarner also found an access point to a server running an identity management system that he said controls access to logins and passwords for employees throughout Sony Pictures Entertainment. He located that system by conducting a Google search using the terms "site:.Sony.com identity."

Most companies attempt to hide these servers from the prying eyes of potential hackers because these systems are linked to sensitive employee account data, he said.

In a file on Sony's website that alerts search-engine crawlers to which sections of the site that Sony wants a search engine to avoid cataloging, the company provided a link to an internal password-protected software application.
