Oh, it's nothing against the game at all - I agree the series is awesome. I just finally broke down and rented a game because I assumed PSN would be down until Monday at the very least. However, once PSN comes back up SOCOM isn't leaving my system.

SOE services going up in phases today: http://www.soe.com/securityupdate/restorationannouncement.vm

SAN DIEGO, May 14, 2011 - Sony Online Entertainment LLC (SOE) announced today that restoration of its game services will begin today. The phased restoration will include the return of nearly all of SOE's portfolio of online games, the reinstatement of SOE's game forums and websites, and added functionality to require players to reset their passwords.
Increased Security Measures

As the result of a criminal cyber-attack on the company's network, SOE shut down its game services in order for the company to undertake an investigation and incorporate rigorous enhancements to the overall security of the network infrastructure. SOE worked with several outside respected security firms during the course of implementing significant security measures that strengthen safeguards against unauthorized activity and provide customers with greater protection of their personal information.

SOE made enhancements to overall data security as well, including updating and adding advanced security technologies, additional software monitoring, performing new penetration and vulnerability testing, and increased levels of encryption.

"Our main priority is the safety and security of our customers' personal information," said Kazuo Hirai, Executive Deputy President, Sony Corporation. "We are making consumer data protection a full-time, company-wide commitment, and have applied enhanced security technologies so that our customers can feel protected and confident about playing our games."

Hirai added, "We are committed to delivering secure and entertaining games for players of all ages and thank each of our players for their patience and support during this difficult time."

SOE will also be offering its customers a "Welcome Back" program that includes special game content and services to all registered Station Account holders. As part of this program, players will receive 30 days of additional game time plus one day for each day SOE's services were down. The details of this program are available at www.soe.com/securityupdate/welcomeback.
 
downloaded the whole thing pretty fast after having it crash once at 20 percent

nothing seems to have changed but this is something at least.

Forgive me - I hope it bricks mine only.

it was the first post in the thread that made me lol... I mean, imagine how much worse that would make it if they shipped an update that was meant to fix it but actually bricked machines. It would be a comedy of errors
 
For those concerned that the updated is dated December 10... It's technically not. All that date represents on the TOS page is the date the latest revisions to the TOS were completed, not the date of the updated itself. It just means there were no revisions to the TOS in this update.
