In a phased roll out, the Sony’s Playstation Network started to come on last night, with Canada popping online around 4:00 am EST according to Playstations Twitter account. Some jurisdictions around the globe remain in the dark as of 11:00am EST today, however Sony has stated they will be restored very shortly and have PSN access. The official time frame that players haven’t been able to connect to the PSN is about 3 ½ weeks. Sony’s CEO Kazuo Hirai officially announced the restoration phase last night with the below video:
