PlayStation Network returning, paranoia (hopefully) not

PS3

It might have taken nearly a month, but it's finally happening: the PlayStation Network is coming back online. Sony commenced a slow rollout of the service across the world, spearheaded by a mandatory firmware upgrade and a forced password change.

After Sony completes the big switch on, they will undoubtedly roll out their "Welcome back" package, which will include a month's free access to PS Plus, among other goodies.

While this may seem like the end of a very bitter chapter for Sony, the fallout from this and the enquiries will surely plague them for a good while yet.
