Like I said some pages back... the great hurry up and wait. That's what I am calling it anyhow...lol. edit to add: okay it may have been another thread that I called it that.
Its already saturday dawn here. No PSN yet... I know a lot of ppl are trading PS3 over xbox360 because of this, I just don't do that because I love PS Home and PS3 exclusives.
I shall never get a xbox360. I don't like there controllers and you have to pay to play online, unlike ps3 where it is free. XD
"SOME PLAYSTATION NETWORK AND QRIOCITY SERVICES TO BE AVAILABLE THIS WEEK " This week ends at day end today !! ,earlier if you live in Japan ,Australia etc... ,and without any further update from Slowny ,I would expect that part of psn must be on later today ,but I am guessing it won't , thank you for your patience ,umm I have had no choice in the matter I have experienced bad customer service before :wallbash: but Sony win hands down on all accounts, and I must say congratulations :cheers:for getting in the record books for the longest outage ever ,well done :clapping::
They updated the blog this morning Roz, basically they are in final testing but its taking longer than planned and all that, my guess would be mid to end of next week now.
Don't know if this makes any difference or not - but tried to sign in on the PS blog this morning - and instead of the "maintenance" message - I got this instead: Forbidden You don't have permission to access /external/index.vm on this server. Additionally, a 403 Forbidden error was encountered while trying to use an ErrorDocument to handle the request. Apache Server at store.playstation.com Port 443 :confused1: JPConway
DC Universe Found this on my facebook page for DCUO - looks like the weekend is "out" for restarting of PSN and SOE We wanted to let you know that our games will not be up this weekend. We are working around the clock to get our services back up and running soon. Thank you for your continued patience and support. JPConway
Free Realms won't die but this is looking to be a huge blow for DCUO. Considering it's had broken features since beta that still aren't fixed on the PS3 side. I'm betting close to half the population will be gone.
at least on the PS3 side - lol. The PC users have only had a few days worth of downtime - they are not as upset as we are. Wonder what they will be doing for us PS3 players? If anything??? JPConway
In Japan 07 May 2011 "PlayStation Network" / "Qriocity" schedule for resumption of service "PlayStation Network" and "Qriocity" about, and apologize for any inconvenience.

"Well your friend is correct, I just read and double checked the site under "What`s New" (from the Sony website) and it does indeed say that The PSN will resume today for Japan, but it doesn't say a time, just says "Please be patient while we are restarting all services", so chances are it could be up today in Japan." is psn back up on 5/7/11 for Japan? - Marvel vs. Capcom 3: Fate of Two Worlds Message Board for PlayStation 3 - GameFAQs
Lol, that just leads to the link you just posted above which was posted on the 7th, I can see though where he'd get confused by translation...
Sorry for the confusion. That was a quote from the poster that I linked to and it is possible that the poster speaks/reads Japanese? IDK? My only purpose here today is to stir the pot. ;D So it seems. EDIT: D'oh. Poster doesn't know what it says. After reading a couple of Japanese sites when I Googled "2011年5月7日 日本国内での“PlayStation Network”/“Qriocity”のサービス再開スケジュールについて", the word used most often in their comments is the word "vague".
Well, now its almost 5 pm, and since here in Brazil the timeline is 12 hours exactly before Japan, then in Japan its now almost 5 am, which means this week is the one thah starts in may 8th through may 14th already in Japan and that leads to Sony beeing a japanese enterprise. So Sony lied to us all already.
Sony did not lie to anybody. They set a tentative target date (like everybody keeps asking of them) but they were not able to meet it. All the more reason to quit asking for them to speculate on a return date.
I would like to see them make estimates for a return date. Even if they can't make it, it gives us an idea of what's going on inside there.
