This video shows Kazuo Hirai announcing the return of PSN. Yes folks, PSN is back online. Well, kinda.
Hirai is the President of Sony Computer Entertainment as well as being a high-up in the Sony corporation as a whole. The company has definitely brought out the big guns as it attempts to regain the trust of its customers.
What won’t have helped is that the PSN went down again almost immediately after it came up. The problem this time is too many people trying to get online and change their passwords at once.
Did Sony not realize everyone would be super-keen to get back online to see what the state of things were after almost a month offline? Obviously not. Fingers crossed the May 31 date for everything to be back up and running is stuck to.
As an aside, doesn’t Hirai look a little like a Bond villain? All he needs now is to be stroking a cat on his lap.
