Sony Restores Network Services After Security Breach

After a data breach forced Sony to shut down in late April, all network services have now finally restored all PlayStation Network services. The estimated damages to Sony from this hacking is said to be roughly $171 million US Dollars.

Although the security issues have left Sony millions of dollars short, it has been stated by the company that it estimates to be back in the range of profitability before the end of next year and shareholders seem to have the same faith, as Sony stock value has risen 2.5% since their apology over the security issues.

What really matters is what the customers think; although PlayStation faces some tough competition it still remains the gaming console to beat. The PlayStation 3 takes pride in not only being a gaming console, but a home media unit, with built-in Blu-ray player, live chat, picture and music storage and playback, and a huge amount of games to choose from, and if you are the proud owner of a PlayStation 3 it will be sure to get daily use.

Sony is truly dedicated to bringing the best ‘one stop' media console possible to its users, but more importantly the PlayStation 3s network is completely free. PlayStation 3 have sold over 315 million games to date, including LittleBigPlanet, Call of Duty, Modern Warfare 2 and Black Ops, Gran Turismo 5, Uncharted 2, and many more.

The hard-core gamers will probably always go head to head on which is the best console, but if you are a PlayStation diehard and appreciate just what you have at your fingertips, you will not be disappointed. The PS3 is great value, thanks to its excellent Blu-ray Disc player and this feature certainly sets it apart from other consoles, the graphics are realistic and of course games and movies look great on an HDTV.

Apart from the data breach PlayStation has also been known to have operation problems, such as the YLOD (yellow light of death), freezing, and hard drive errors, but if you are dedicated to your PS3 then you can take steps to overcome these problems.

Of course you can send your console back to Sony, but be prepared to wait up to six or eight weeks for its return and this process will cost you an arm and a leg to post it off to get it repaired, or you can seek out a PlayStation 3 repair facility.

A spokesman for PS Pros based in London and New York said "we offer a same day PlayStation 3 repair service and we can fix all PS3 problems.
