Word around the web this morning is that developers are now able to use the PlayStation Network again. This info was rumored by a couple of places yesterday and now even more publications are claiming to have the same info. Apparently, developers were given an updated firmware version to load on to their units and now they’re good to go… sort of.
According to Giant Bomb, one of the features still not working is the account creation tool. This function is apparently necessary for development because developers need to be able to create a number of fake accounts for certain testing purposes.
We’re due for another update from Sony any day now so stay tuned for more info.

I say take your time Sony and build a fortress than rushing things.It would be worse if a second attack was successful.
New features are welcome to.

the play testers for the e3 releases are apparently on psn (on site? which seems strange.), which worries me slightly as e3 is a while away yet.
MrBlack
quote ‘ All US developers have received updated PS3 firmware in preparation for E3. Source says they have QA testers onsite right now playing online games to be announced @ E3 in the QA department via active PSN. She also mentions that they are playing live PSN with the game developers and studios statewide. Asked her when are WE going to play she said I’ll keep you posted’. this guys source seems legit as he has been right abour each restoration update up to now, as in he knew when the official announcements were coming.

I’m really looking forward to PSN coming back on, personally I haven’t missed online to much. So now when it comes back we should have a more secure and safer place to play games with our friends.

Seems to be good news, even if its not back this week, I’ll not worry about it, just how big is RDR anyway ;)

Well this is a start. It’s definately what sony needed to prioritise. Now I’m not really fussed how long it will take them to fix it as long as they’re sure they’ve got it right.
