PSN to be back online next week

Sony has stated that PSN will be up and running by early next week.
Rumour is some services may be running before then.

I hope they are taking this time to improve the security and maybe add more features.
It will be intresting to see if as many users are online when things are back to normal.
Maybe this has been a bonus for MS hoping that some PSN users will jump ship and join Xbox Live.

Personally I hope the PSN is greatly improved before the PSP 2 is released as its one of the things I cant wait to get my hands on this year.
