Wait is over, PSN back up TODAY

For those that are still waiting (I know of several folks that have moved on), PSN and Qriocity are due to go back online fully later today in the Americas, Europe/PAL territories and most of Asia. We are still awaiting word on when Japan, Hong Kong and South Korea will be back online. For the rest of us, expect to get an e-mail or some other sort of communication regarding the promised Welcome Back package. You should have already received your credit monitoring offer, so I would think the Welcome back details and reminder will come via e-mail as well.
