In its bid to keep information flowing after a heavily criticised period of non-information, Sony has confirmed what it said on the 26th of April regarding PSN uptime - but has limited expectation.
On the 26th of April the PlayStation blog stated:
"These malicious actions have also had an impact on your ability to enjoy the services provided by PlayStation Network and Qriocity including online gaming and online access to music, movies, sports and TV shows. We have a clear path to have PlayStation Network and Qriocity systems back online, and expect to restore some services within a week."
It has updated this as follows:
"Our employees have been working day and night to restore operations as quickly as possible, and we expect to have some services up and running within a week from yesterday (26th). However, we want to be very clear that we will only restore operations when we are confident that the network is secure."
This also means when the company has relocated its data centre as reported earlier today.

You know, I use the network, but I'm not even remotely bothered. Of course, if my bank-account is breached, that's another story- though I'm sure if it is I will be renumerated eventually.
I just don't understand the fuss. Take time to do something else. Read a book perhaps. Or, as I have been doing, watch Buffy The Vampire Slayer from episode 1 right the way through. That's an emotional roller-coaster (I'm not even being sarcastic here), this PSN thing is just one of those little blips in a relatively unimportant area of life - that is to say, life will go on uninterrupted.

That certainly one perspective, and one that I personally share. But for very many other people PSN is a major part of their leisure and social lives. And for those people, the level of frustration must be intense. If I was prevented from using email for two weeks, or from riding my bike for two weeks,I'd be incensed. It is understandable that some people feel the same way about losing access to PSN.

I do remember you commenting (paraphrasing of course) 'I do not care about GeoHot cause Anonymous hacked PSN!' If you do not care about the law or context behind a court case or its windfall, do not reply or comment to me, please, unless you can make more sense than 'I hate all hackers', 'BooHoo', and what not. Answer my post or quit being sore over something in another thread.
