Thank you for your patience and encouragement over the last few weeks. As covered in the post from earlier today, you can now update the firmware on your PS3 and change your password. Kazuo Hirai just announced that we have begun the phased restoration by region of some of the services, starting with online multiplayer functionality.
Please note that these services will take a bit of time to be turned on and rolled out to the whole country. The process has begun and some states are being turned on now, so please be patient as we reach your city and state. We’ll be updating the map below as service comes online in individual states. It will take several hours to restore PSN throughout the entire country, so please keep checking back for the latest updates. In the meantime, now’s a great time to get your PS3’s firmware updated, which is required to get online.
Notice: If your state is illuminated but your service has not yet been restored, please be patient – it can take a little while for the servers to populate fully.
Until we get the comments functioning correctly, we’re putting all comments on hold. I’m sure Jitender would appreciate not having people put words in his mouth ^_^
In the meantime, we’ll keep updating the map, and those of you already back online – enjoy some games!

I like how it just came back on after 24 days, you have all this ‘beginners luck’ for not playing in a long time. I got a knife and tomahawk across map glad it’s back on :)
Sony ur the best

Sony! You rock! I’ve been a fan for so long and even though this hacking event happened and the servers were shut down for some time,I knew you guys would fix it! I’m so happy to be online again! :)
when is the store going to be up i wanna spend my 50$
PSN is back up in Wisconsin. I can’t stress how happy I am about PSN being back! I recently bought Brink, and I can’t wait until I can play online! Now I am patiently waiting for the free content! I heard that Sony will be giving us a selection of 5 greatest hits, and we can choose 2. I hope that the games are actually good, not some old games that no one cares about. I congratulate Sony on fixing the problem, and I hope that the impatient people who can’t stand not playing multiplayer don’t all wast their money on an Xbox. please friend Sarge435.
I always knew you guys would get us back online. Sony has never let me down once. Thank you!! I can’t wait until PlayStation Store comes back online. It will be then that I will require a change of pants.
They droped the ball again. The mesures they took to make your login safe & secure were bogus. I logged in on a ps3 that had never been on the network changed password and walla . anyone with the info that they said was stollen could have hijacked any of your accounts & made that account useless. nice downgraded security!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
thanks
hey, does anyone know how much money we get in our accounts free?
Thank god i live in cali, whats good
I got a question Patrick Seybold,

awesome!! I had to wait until 130am, but it was worth it
says I don’t have undead for red dead anymore. Is this because the store is still down? Oh and good to have some of the network back.
