We used to sing a song as kids. “Why are we waaaaaiting?” it went, along with various other poorly rhymed lines.
It’s getting ever more relevant now, especially as there’s precious little correspondence coming back from Sony regarding timescales or even word on the so-called “Welcome Back” pack.
Sony Japan have just issued one such statement, though, although it doesn’t say anything particularly new other than they’re still working on it, and they’re still very sorry.
They’re still working on the final stages of the new security systems and they’re hoping to get the service up and running as soon as possible, says a translation.
They’re also trying to make Jelly Babies out of cardboard, say we.
However, Sony Japan have repeated that the roll-out of the PSN, once finalised, will be regional, so expect Japan first and Europe after that, once they’ve pushed out the required firmware update to everyone in stages.

Aw man! well I guess it’s more Mortal Kombat for me then and might aswell just carry on Shift 2 as I prefer to play it online (Autolog)

Im starting to move from “mild annoyance” to “really dont care as I’ve found better things to do with my time”
Erroneus
I’ve moved from “Ey it’s not so bad, I’ll survive” to “mild annoyance”. Looking forward to “really dont care as I’ve found better things to do with my time”, because Sony is really not getting any love from here right now.

I’ve moved onto that “mild annoyance” faze to. Started Fallout: New Vegas last night so should keep me distracted.

I’m on mild annoyance. All the games I’m playing atm are single player, currently GoW collection. Most annoying thing is not being able to sync my precious trophies!

Yeah… I’m with TC on that, at first it was mildly annoying and now I barely even care, which if enough people feel like that is bad news for the industry hoping to sell things

Spot on TC!
I’ve now discovered the perspective and contents of Steam on my PC… that is actually quite nice!
But, PSN will be welcomed back when and if ever it resurfaces :)

Sony will get there…eventually, hopefully before we’re old and grey.

Yeh, I’ve been pretty reasonable about this until now. I just want the thing back online. I pay for plus and I pay for games at the store, I’ve also purchase a number of games that have a heavy online component which I cannot play. Screw this i’m going to pay for a month of Xbox Live and play halo Goddammit!

Jelly Babies out of cardboard ^_^ Made my day

Sony has promised alot of goodies, which is generous. I hope they deliver. We all know Sony are keen on testing. For example, I knew a Sony employee and he said that TV’s are tested at -20’C.
Oh, I hope Sony catch those swines that hacked them

They will, pigs tend to escape sometimes but thats just poor farming management

More money for Steam then… oh Getgames

I have a sweet dream that when it comes back online we have to activate our accounts to our ps3’s again as I am on my last one after having 5 ps3’s die on me. I didn’t realise you had to deactivate I thought just delete. So if this one breaks I’ll have lost a lot of games.

At this point continuing goodwill for Sony will completely depend on the ‘Welcome Back’ package & the returned PSN’s stability. The Internet will eat them if it’s less than perfect. In the meantime, I’m happy driving Sean Devlin around Paris.

Cracking little game that – Suffers a little from repetition, but awesome apart from that.
Also some of the best one-liners i have ever heard in a game. :)

At least I have my minecraft server to keep me occupied for now, come on Sony!
A Few more days, do you think they meant Earth days or Pluto days (Technically they never stated anything about this) because I think Pluto days are about six of ours. So if that is the case Sony may still be well on track! ;)
