Sony says PSN will be back in a week, hopefully

Sony’s PSN outage is in its second week as of today since 19 April, but good news is coming from PlayStation Blog rep Patrick Seybold, as he’s just posted an update on the current situation. We’ve already known that our personal information has been taken, but many users are still very concern over another important issue: “When will it god damn get back online? I want my Portal 2 co-op!” Hopefully I get it right.

Yes, good news indeed, as Mr Seybold said that Sony expects to have “some services” up and running within a week from yesterday. He also mentioned that important personal information like credit card numbers database was encrypted and there is no evidence anything was taken, but that’s a possibility that still cannot be ruled out completely, as Sony is still not able to comprehend the damage that has been dealt.

Also, Gamasutra reports game developers are getting new SDKs with updated security features as well. When the service comes back up, expect a mandatory system update that requires a new password before getting back to your Mortal Kombat or Portal 2-related plans for the weekend.
