PSN isn't back up yet, but mandatory software update available now for download.
Worth doing in advance so when the network is back it's one less thing you'll have to do.

I'll update once I know the firmware is safe and possibly brick systems.
I know it's a rare occurrence, but I won't be taking any chances for now.

I was going to post this, but looks like Frankie beat me to it. I just downloaded the update, thought it was best to do it now, rather than when everyone else is. This more than likely means that the PSN will be up sometime soon, some speculate as early as tonight.
Phase 1 of restoration has begun.

I went ahead and updated, given that when everything does come back online, it's going to get hammered to hell and back what with everyone updating their trophies and downloading games.
Just finished installing the update...no PSN access yet. Still, this is something.

The image on the PS blog is just a static image right now.
At any rate, my PS3 Blu Ray laser crapped out this week and I "upgraded" to a slim today. Of course, I formatted my phat while diagnosing the issue, so I can't set up Netflix again until PSN is back. The update went fine on my new slim, which is a CECH-2501A if that helps anyone worried about bricks.
Aaaaaand the PSN blog is crashed. Probably overloaded from news outlets, blogs, message boards and twitter posts linking directly to it.

We're officially back on in New Jersey!
w00t!

I just took a closer look at the map. Apparently, Puerto Rico has shifted far to the west and doubled in size, and Cuba is gone. I didn't know a network intrusion could do that...
Check this out. Scroll down and read the comments.
Apparently, part of their new security system is reducing the number of PSN accounts to one for everyone to share. Our new collective PSN ID is "jitender."
Aaaaand Florida is back online.
