  • Thank you for this personal message. It’s appreciated.

  • I’m am so glad to be back. Patience is a virtue and boy did it pay off this time.

  • Can we get a free download of anything in he welcomback package

  • THANK YOU SONY!!!
    THANK YOU Kazuo Hirai!!!

  • Mr. Hirai, thanks for the reassuring words. I’m soooooo happy to be back in with my Playstation friends safer, stronger and better than ever!

  • when is the free welcome back package and what will it contain

  • FINALLY IE BEEN WAITING FOR A MONTH!

  • when do I get my free games?

  • Thanks for the announcement Kaz. I wonder if that was filmed in Tokyo.

  • no zthank you, kazuo, zthank you!

  • SUCK IT XBOX!!! they say that microsoft is better because “this would never happen to them” but really this just proves that sony is better because they actually came out of this situation quicker than i expected. if you can come out of a problem like this pretty much unscratched then even though it did happen they were quick to restore their serveces so yes they are pretty much the same console. ive gotta say if there IS a better conslole or better company it is definately sony

  • add travious513

  • Thanks Sony! Just get the PS Store up ASAP!

  • WlkrTex4sR4nger

    I never lost faith sony! Thank you for bringing it back online

  • Thank you to all the people that worked so hard to make this happen(NOT THE DBAG HACKERS THOUGH). There are many that did, still, and will support the PS3. I am pretty sure the ones that traded in the PS3 in the past few days are regretting it now, and if they aren’t then oh well.

    I am sure that Sony has learned some very valuable lessons throughout all of this, hopefully they will never have to put that knowledge to use first hand!

    When the inevitable happens and the XBLA service goes down, I hope that the majority of us take the high road and stay classy. My grandma always taught me to “kill em with kindness”.

  • Thank s sony finally PSN its back online.

  • any word on what is gonna be offered as a “gift” for the inconvenience and stress (lol) of not being able to play online ?

  • LETS LYNCH THE HACKERS! THANK YOU SONY YOU ARE THE BEST.

  • To,

    Mr. Kazuo Hirai

    Hello,

    I am very happy you are with Sony. You are the last remaining face of the PlayStation Boss family that gamers recognize. I have some requests to make to you.

    1. Please hire great anti-hacker specialists from outside Japan and keep them permanently at Sony to keep PS family and me safe.
    2. Canada needs its own PlayStation Blog. The US PlayStation Blog thinks Canada suffered a nuke attack and is now extinct. There is never any competitions or lottery game prizes available for Canada to take part in.
    3. The people who post news blogs on the US Blog currently are not very sophisticated or professional. They seem rather average with almost no real info ever.

  • 4. Please buy up some real EXCLUSIVE GAMES (NOT DLC) for PS3. I purchased my PS3 at launch for $700 and $200 warranty and got hit with YLOD outside warranty so another $200 total $1100 on hardware alone. My investment did not pay off so far by far. Exclusive or timed exclusives of GTA5, MGS5, FF15, Tekken 7, COD will make me and a lot of PS3 gamers very happy and satisfied.
    5. PS3 XMB needs a News feed even when PSN is down to let users know what is going on and not just display an “error” message all day.

    Thanks,

    and I hope you read this. Plus, I hope you become Sony’s overall full President and put a PS3 inside every Television in the future!!!!

  • thank you guys i’m happy we are so close to getting past all this.

    P.S. when you catch the hackers do the world a favor and have the trial in china so we know true justice will be served :)

  • Thanks sony, get those hackers PSNFTW

  • Thank you to the people working for and with Sony to get this up and get it done like it should be… for the comsumers. As we as a world move on into a more technological part of our history, this whole event will be a lesson we all will learn from. I will not participate in any lawsuit against Sony, because they didn’t distrupt my favorite hobby, some “hackers” did. And I dare say that until I am just a memory in a grave somewhere, some one will still be “hacking” things I care about…
    Again, just wanted to say “Thank You!” to Sony.

  • Thanks Sony for your continous efforts that you put into making this a safer and more secure network. Im ready to beging my online functions again. :)

  • Atheos-Unchained

    No need to apologize, I’m just glad it’s back and safer than ever.

  • Thanks Kazou. It totally wasnt urs or sonys fault it was those playstation haters that did it. Thanks (:

  • Thanks Sony…proud to be patient, I am sure that this will only solidify the network’s strength and Sony’s service.

  • Just wanted to say thanks for getting us back on line and lets game like no tomarow !!!!!!!

  • C-LOSKIANATOR101

    when will the PlayStation store be back up and running. good job sony

  • oops sorry for the swears… :(

  • I apprieciate all the work you all have done!

  • Just broke out PS3 Rehab. Know I am good to go. Time to feed my addiction.

  • Would have been a perfect public announcement had Hirai also announced his resignation…

  • This has been a very hard process for you sony and for the SOE. I would like to Thank sony for their hard work and effort to bring services back up and running as soon as they could. Through this long process, many sold their playstation 3 due to this intrusion and process of this security breach. I would like to say that bringing back your customers sony by providing free content is a great idea! Like the “Welcome Back” plan, thats great but many customers aren’t asking for more but they are asking for your trust. And i think doing that will gain your trust. But also, by having more “new” features to the system like the ideas many people have or other things will bring the customers back and create more customers. With new features to “not only” to the system but to other products will make and would help your company so much that it would create a new “face” for sony. I and many other customers appreciate the hard work as i said. Keep up the great work and try to make a new face for sony and for your customers.

    Sincerely,

    Many Customers.

  • Thanks Sony Worth The Wait

  • My dad says that Sony was supposed to send an e-mail about the credit card bit. I didn’t get that, is there any update on that?

  • Thanks Sony! Hope it won’t happen again! I’m looking forward for the “Welcome back” pack. A hope it will not be lame and restore the good reputation of Sony.

  • It about time this is beginning to work . Florida is still down I hope this will be sooner than what it has been . It seem like the security system that they had was very old . In today world with all the hackers Sony should of updated there security long time ago instead of waiting to see if they are hacked. I was just about ready to switch to a different unit because this was getting to be to much and I hope they don’t put the cost of their mistakes on the price of the games because there high enoughs

  • der psn we r sore to say that sum of r meders of jkl r reatin cilin so plis do wut u can so palers r owes playing

  • Thank you very much for the good news Mr. Hirai.

  • Thank you for offering a FREE network to play online games. XBucks Live would’ve cost me over $200 dollars by now. Your still the best and still FREE.
