The Sony Playstation Network is back up, to include the store. But wait, there's more:

i can finally put the brand new PS3 i got for free a few weeks ago to good use, i for one will be playing a lot of fat princess as soon as i finish L.A. Noire. Then again Little Big Planet and Infamous might distract me as well.
