Here's the latest info from Sony in regards to the PSN outage.
"As you may know, we’ve begun the process of restoring the service through internal testing of the new system. We’re still working to confirm the security of the network infrastructure, as well as working with a variety of outside entities to confirm with them of the security of the system. Verifying the system security is vital for the process of restoration. Additional comprehensive system checks and testing are still required, and we must complete that process before bringing the systems online.
As you’ve heard us say, our utmost priorities are the security of the network and ensuring your data is safe. We won’t restore the services until we can test the system’s strength in these respects.
When we held the press conference in Japan last week, based on what we knew, we expected to have the services online within a week. 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. We know many of you are wanting to play games online, chat with your friends and enjoy all of the services PlayStation Network and Qriocity services have to offer, and trust me when I say we’re doing everything we can to make it happen. We will update you with more information as soon as we have it. We apologize for the delay and inconvenience of this network outage."

Unfortunately, this tells us absolutely nothing, at all, other than it won't be back up this weekend as expected. Sony has been taking a lot of flak for their handling of their P.R. during this outage. That said, it almost leads me to believe that as of this moment, they really have no idea when it will be ready to bring back up, and they're just re-wording what they already told us for the sake of posting an update. Honestly, I'd rather there be no update at all until they have some more definitive information for us.
