Can it be happening? Is Sony’s security nightmare finally over? Seems to be. On Tuesday, Sony promised full restoration of its PlayStation Network and Qriocity services in the Americas, Europe, and Asia (excluding Japan, Hong Kong, and South Korea) by the end of the week. Now Sony is proclaiming that today is the day for full restoration with details of its “welcome back” package to be announced from each region. The PlayStation Store is already up with a “huge lineup” of new games, demos, add-ons, themes, avatars, and videos along with an updated Playstation Plus. Hey, look on the bright side Sony, even though you’ve lost the confidence of millions of your customers, at least now they’re aware of your Qriocity service. Full press release after the break.
Update: Working fine for us from London. We signed in to the PlayStation Store and even fired up Black Ops multiplayer just for kicks.
Update 2: We’re now seeing error “80710D36″ occasionally when trying to access the PlayStation Store, presumably due to congestion. We’re seeing this from both London and New York.
