    I've been wondering about Canada too. I don't know what you mean by 'it will be represented on the map'. Are they changing the map?

    Also, I'm in NS (North of New England) and it's not up.
    New Brunswick here. Just check 20-30 min ago and was still getting the error.

    Everyone looking for Canada! The first update says the map will reflect Canada going online as well. They're playing by American rules and not even bothering to label it, haha.

    You should be keeping an eye on Sony's map right now.

    Well, here I had faith that because California went up so early, Colorado would follow suit. Doesn't appear so. I'll probably have to check it out in the morning at this rate.

    Why couldn't they have done something like this the week it went down explaining what was happening?
    This is, in fact, why I'm still conflicted about how to feel about Sony right now. It's also why I'm bothered by the Bush 9/11 speech comparisons, as those were made ON 9/11, the day that sense of safety had been disturbed, and not multiple weeks of vagueness and blogging before finally doing the right thing.

    I'm bothered that it took us this long to get here, as something this direct, apologetic, and human would have put my mind at ease over the last few weeks. I didn't even have any vital information really taken from my PSN account, but as someone deeply emotionally invested in the video games industry, it's been a fucking nightmare trying to keep up-to-date on the PSN outage only to discover we really still don't know anything until this release.

    But, of course, this approach was the right way to go all along, and it's a marked change in attitude from the style of press releases they've been giving these last few weeks. I wish we'd even had an acknowledgement as personal as this was weeks ago, but it's gone the way it's gone, and now we're at the point where they really are taking the appropriate approach. I'm just trying to decide if it's too late after all they've put everyone through.

    Glad its back up, but since the store is still down I can't put in the MK online pass which means no MK online and that is pretty much all I want to play!

    Well that announcement certainly boosted the consumer confidence a lot, sounds like Sony has taken necessary actions to repair the damage and perhaps stepped up on the cyber crime defense.

    Shame on those hacker bastards (who have no lives) that committed this, they should all go to jail and get their bumholes "enlarged", and don't laugh at Sony because this can happen to any large corporations or anybody else, just take a look at Eidos/Square Enix and you will see.
