The Playstation Network Recovery

For the gamers of the Playstation 3 and PSP, April 20th 2011 to this day (May 15th 2011) must have been frustrating. Many people lost their hope in Sony, they thought that it was the end of the Playstation 3. But why and how did this happen? It started around April 20th, whenever someone tried to sign in to the Playstation Network (PSN) it would say that there was an error. It seemed like a minor problem to me and to many others, I truthfully thought that it was a problem with my internet. Days later, it was something many people couldn't ignore. Reports were sent to Sony and to the companies surprise, they were hacked. A group of hackers, who's identity aren't known managed to hack into the system and therefore able to steal the accounts of many users. A lot of people lost money due to this and it was a major problem for Sony. According to a variety of resources, Sony lost millions of dollars. It wasn't an easy thing to fix, Sony claimed that they were recovering weeks after the incident but it seemed like nothing happened. At last, Sony made a claim that they were recovering Sony fully and bring its service back on May 31st. But it turns out that it came earlier. The Network is now fixed but it is currently available in the US. The rest of the world should find it available later in this week. Sony promised a type of 'reward' for all of the users, its taken as a 'thanks for waiting patiently for the network to be fixed' type of reward. I waited long for this but its okay, every once and a while it happens. I think PSN is better than paying for online services which is required for the Xbox in the Xbox Live. So there it is, the Playstation Network is back for the Playstation 3 and PSP! I mentioned that the identity of the hackers is unknown but rumors have it that the inventors of the Iphone/Ipod/Ipad jailbreak were behind it. Another rumor is, that Xbox is next. Brace yourself Microsoft, you may be next!
