Much to the chagrin of many gamers like myself, PlayStation Network is still down, and, now, we are being told that it will be around the end of the month that it is back up again. I seem to recall Sony having said that it would be up by the end of last week, but it is not, and it is very frustrating.
I respect the reasoning - they have to iron out all security flaws they can find before it gets rolled out again. But that doesn't change the fact that it is majorly trying my patience. Oh well. There's not much you can really do in this instance but wait, and hope, and rant about it in blog posts.
