Some of you may have heard of a recent computer break-in to Sony Computer Entertainment involving some total theft of personal information and uniformly increased grades of University final exams. Approximately three weeks and a few missed deadlines later: portions of the PSN are finally back online and awaiting the eager college students who are finished with their finals to scratch the itch on all the games they missed in the outage. Just kidding, they are going to play Call of Duty again.
“… and then Kevin Butler crushed their heads.” (Quote accuracy disputed.)
Sony uploaded a video to Youtube on May 14th announcing that access has been regained to the following services:
- Sign in for PSN and Qriocity
- Online gameplay for PS3 and PSP
- Music Unlimited (if you are a current subscriber) for PS3 and PC
- Access to Netflix, Hulu, Vudu, and MLB from PS3
- Friends list, chat, trophy comparison, and PlayStation Home
Gamers returning to their PlayStation are required to change their account passwords prior to reconnecting to the PlaysStation Network and, as reported by PCMag, install a firmware update for their console. It has been a long and hard journey for fans of Sony’s console but it appears as if tangible progress has been made. Go forth, play Portal 2 Co-op, give Atlas a big hug, and let them eat cake. It has been a harsh famine.
