So? this is what they have always said >_> PSN will take until the end of the month to be fully back on

I like how it says "Far ahead" When there's only 2 weeks left of May.

There are 3 weeks left. If it comes back this week, that counts as "far ahead."

How about SCEA just confirms that they too will be partaking in the 2 games for free, and I could, quite frankly, not care whether the service turns on tomorrow or May 31st.

good news

I dont understand why online gaming hasn't been restored yet. This is the most important thing for an online gaming console.

I am sure most people will have no problem waiting a while for the store side of things to be sorted out but this is going on too long.

can we officially say that it will take until the end of the year?

Really hope this doesn't hurt any plans Sony may have for E3.

Come on Sony I want to sync my trophies!

I'm level 8 now, probably pretty close to level 9 and I can't update it.  And I want to play Portal 2 co-op and Mortal Kombat online.  If I would have known how long this was gonna take I would've gotten both on the 360 instead but everyone said that the PS3 had the superior versions. 

So come on Sony, please restore at the very least, online gameplay earlier than that.
