The PSN downtime should be over soon, hopefully. According to the Playstation Blog, Sony has reached the final tests of the new system - an important step in getting PSN and Qriocity back online. Of course we're not getting an ETA, but the company promises updates as soon as they have them.
"We understand that many of you are eager to again enjoy the PlayStation Network and Qriocity entertainment services that you love, so we wanted you to be aware of this milestone and our progress. We will provide additional updates as soon as we can," Sony writes.
