Now I don't know this 100% but a lot of people are reporting that it's back up in Japan. Apparantly NA and other regions will be up and running the following day.

Rejoice everyone. It was a long wait, but I'm sure it will be worth it. I'm excited to finally be able to get more time in on Socom 4 and Homefront. I know the PS Store won't be up until possibly the end of May but once it does, I can't wait to use that one month of free PS

What has everyone done during this downtime? What games have you beaten, and what has been your experience through all of this?

I went on to complete New Vegas, Mortal Kombat, and Socom 4. I'm starting to finish up Mass Effect 2 right now, and I have a few more games under the radar but I imagine the PSN will be back up before I get to them.

That's great news but I'm not sure what I'd do with PSN anyways.

I'm also completing Enslaved (great game!) and I just completed Sly 3.

I'm also casually playing LoL every now and then.

PSN Alive In Japan, May Return To NA/EU Tomorrow

Sony says some PSN services will return this week, and it appears Japan is already back up and functioning.

According to various sources and reports, there have been plenty of Twitter and Facebook entries that claim the Japanese Network has returned, although gamers in North America and Europe have no such luck just yet. Apparently, U.S. users can expect the PSN to be back up tomorrow, which just so happens to be the normal update day...sadly, without the Store, that won't mean much. We won't be able to access the Store for some time yet, although we should be able to play online with the resuming of services this week; and "this week" may mean "really soon." Also, just as a reminder, you will receive a mandatory firmware update that requires you to change your PSN password. You may also want to change some other data, if you're still leery about the system's stability.

At any rate, we'll keep a close eye on the PSN's status 'round these parts. Feel free to let us know the instant you see service return.
