Sony's Network

If you are unaware or don't happen to have a Playstation, the Playstation Network has been down for the past month.  Parts of the network are just now coming back and Sony expects the full network to be back by the end of May.  The big question now is: How many people will come back and trust Sony and the Playstation Network again?  If you really don't know -- Playstation Network was hacked and brought down about a month ago.  The Hackers stole Names, Addresses, Phone numbers, Credit Card Numbers, Logins, and Passwords.  Sony brought down their Network and re-built it from the ground up to add more security measures and increase the stability of their network.  The country of Japan has also weighed in recently and said that they would block the network until Japan can be assured that the network is secure.
