News Concerning the PSN... - Part II

So... Yesterday Gamespot told us that Playstation "says it plans to have its online systems fully back online by May 31" (J. Douglas).

In an article posted by Gamespot today; journalist Tor Thorsen claims that, Playstation says their online "services won't be restored until the end of the week--at the earliest."
I get that they're giving us an "earliest possible date and/or time," but how about we hammer it down, and then release our articles.

That being said, both articles may be telling the truth; I just find it frustrating that it ALL couldn't be said in ONE article. See where I'm coming from?
Could they not have gotten together and written that Playstation's services won't be restored in less than a week, but will be available by the end of May? Does that not make sense, and save time?

The helper - in all this - is Playstation released an article today.
"I know you all want to know exactly when the services will be restored. At this time, I can’t give you an exact date, as it will likely be at least a few more days. We’re terribly sorry for the inconvenience and appreciate your patience as we work through this process."

So, all in all; no one really knows when it'll be back.
It doesn't help that he neither confirmed or denied that it would take to the end of the month, but kept our hopes up that it may be back soon, "as it will likely be at least a few more days." (P. Seybold)

I get that Playstation doesn't know how long it may take to be functioning again, but don't get our hopes up if you can't follow through.

All I can say - as of today - is thank GOODNESS Brink's offline gameplay translates into online XP and levels too. Gives me something to work on until the PSN comes back.
