Will PlayStation users be without access to the service for another three weeks? According to a Sunday report from Bloomberg, Sony's PlayStation Network and Qriocity online services will be down until at least May 31.
In an interview with Bloomberg, Sony spokesman Shigenori Yoshida said Sony is currently installing an improved security system and will get its services back online by May 31.
Sony's PlayStation Network has been down since April 20, and Sony Online Entertainment (SOE) has been offline since May 2. During an April 30 press conference in Tokyo, Sony said it planned to have the services online within a week, but in the wake of the SOE outage, the company said it needed more time.
"We won't restore the services until we can test the system's strength" when it comes to security of the network and the safety of users' data, Sony said in a Friday blog post. "We were unaware of the extent of the attack on Sony Online Entertainment servers, and we are taking this opportunity to conduct further testing of the incredibly complex system."
