Sony Memo To Developers Claims May 24 PS Store Return

May 19, 2011

According to a Gamasutra report, Sony is telling its publishing partners that the PlayStation Store will return on May 24. The report is based on a leaked memo sent to developers and publishers. Of course they say that the relaunch of its its digital marketplace will come back barring any new developments or technical problems.

"We thank you for your patience as we work to resume service of the PlayStation Store," wrote PSN content manager Jack Osorno to developer partners.

Sony also sent partners a tentative schedule that confirms two content publishes a week for the next couple of weeks to get all caught up on previous and new releases that were put on hold during the security breach that lasted three weeks.

When the service relaunches users will be able to choose two free PSN games and two free PSP games as part of Sony’s "Welcome Back" program.

"If there are concerns, we are willing to consider adjusting the release date of your content on this schedule," continued Osorno. "Adjustments will be made on a case by case basis."

And you'll not hear a complaint from me!

Although I'm hearing hackers claim to bring the entire PSN back down on the 20th. Which would be... Today, in my time.

I just hope it proves to be false. Hackers have ruined enough of our fun.

Same here, on both counts.

I belive that it's just a bunch of greedy lazy script kiddies, but if they're doing this to hurt Sony, or even for the lulz, they're just terrible people.
