The disruption is likely to have been caused by hackers, however Sony have not given a time or date when services will resume. In their American blog, Sony stated:
"We sincerely regret that PlayStation Network and Qriocity services have been suspended, and we are working around the clock to bring them both back online. Our efforts to resolve this matter involve re-building our system to further strengthen our network infrastructure."
Originally it was thought the hacker group Anonymous had attacked the network - however they released a statement saying "For once, we didn't do it"
The network problems come at a peak time for gamers over Easter - the long weekend and new game releases such as Portal 2 - have angered many gamers.
Still, Sony are wanting to secure their network - and why shouldn't they take their time? If it means a more secure network, they should take all the time they need!
