Just when you thought it was over...
Well...shit.
Despite Sony's growing wave of optimism about the imminent return of PSN and the first bits of information of their "Welcome Back" rewards have come to light, another bear trap has been triggered and we're still at a stand still. Saturday has come and gone and the return of PS3's online functionality still sits in limbo.
From their latest blog post, Sony states: "As you may know, we’ve begun the process of restoring the service through internal testing of the new system. We’re still working to confirm the security of the network infrastructure, as well as working with a variety of outside entities to confirm with them of the security of the system. Verifying the system security is vital for the process of restoration. Additional comprehensive system checks and testing are still required, and we must complete that process before bringing the systems online."
If indeed the case, I can't really blame them. If it ain't ready, don't send it out to the fire. I think I just feel so disappointed because it looked like the return was set for the week and I'm set in a little period of limbo with my gaming. Brink comes out this Tuesday and I'm all set to get that, but that leaves me two days of gaming with nothing to really sink my teeth into. I don't have enough time to really start something new, but it's enough time that I wish I just could be playing something, you know?
What really sucks is that if PSN is still down by mid week, it will really hinder the functionality of Brink. I was really interested in seeing how well the game would meld the single and online portions of the game but, with the current state of things, that doesn't really seem possible. Hopefully it will be a non issue by then though. Hopefully. The wait continues...
