Sony PSN Update - Coming Back Soon(ish), Maybe

An update on Sony PSN's blog suggest normal service is close to being resumed with the systems undergoing final testing. Sony says:

Today our global network and security teams at Sony Network Entertainment and Sony Computer Entertainment began the final stages of internal testing of the new system, an important step towards restoring PlayStation Network and Qriocity services.
As previously mentioned, we’ve been working around the clock to rebuild the network and enhance protections of your personal data. It’s our top priority to ensure your data is safe when you begin using the services again.
We understand that many of you are eager to again enjoy the PlayStation Network and Qriocity entertainment services that you love, so we wanted you to be aware of this milestone and our progress. We will provide additional updates as soon as we can.

Notice that the Vice Chairman in Charge of Fun (or whatever his title was) Kevin Butler has been remarkably quiet these last couple of weeks, not so cocky now are you?
