Playstation Store Reportedly Back Online for 5/24 Update, Missed Content Published By 6/3

Gamasutra reports that Sony has sent a memo to partners detailing when their content will be published on the Playstation Network.  The memo informs partners that the store will reopen on 5/24 with an accelerated publishing schedule.  Rather than only the normal Tuesday release, each week will see two releases for the next two weeks to return the schedule to normal:
  • The 5/24 reopening will see that week's scheduled content alongside the content that should have been released on 4/26.  
  • On 5/27, another update will go live, publishing content that originally was to be released on 5/3.
  • 5/31 and 6/3 will round out the distribution of the backlogged content.
So it looks like the PSN will see complete restoration on 6/3, nearly six weeks after the initial disruption.  Certainly this has been a monumental disruption for Sony.  Hopefully after 6/3 we will see a much more stable experience for PS3 users.
