    Sony is performing the old salt-in-the-wound trick by informing Bloomberg that the PSN/Quoricity outage should last another 22 days with an expected return date of May 31. This came from an interview with a Sony spokesman in a Bloomberg interview. Security is the key here. Sony is adopting new techniques and practices to beef up its online services and apparently that takes some time.

    Luckily online gaming was never a core tenet of the Playstation Network or people would be really upset. In related news, co-op mode on Portal 2 is really cool.
