SONY'S international restart of its PlayStation Network has been stalled in the corporation's home country which is demanding to know the measures taken to prevent further hacking attacks.

Sony has announced that PlayStation Network services are being restored in Europe, New Zealand, Australia, Mexico and South America.

However no further details have been provided on local availability.

Services in Japan and Asia are still not functioning, pending talks with authorities.

"We are still in talks with various authorities (in Japan and Asia)," Sony spokeswoman Kumie Tanaka said.

Japanese regulatory officials said they were not yet satisfied with the details offered by Sony at two meetings about beefing up network security.

Kazushige Nobutani, the director of Japan's Media and Content Industry department at the Ministry of Economy, Trade and Industry, said there were two areas where further explanation was needed before approval would be given.

"The first is preventative measures. As of May 13, Sony was incomplete in exercising measures that they said they will do on the May 1 press conference," he said.

The second was in how Sony hoped to regain consumer confidence over exposed personal data such as credit card information.

"There were similar cases in the past that were caused by other firms, and we are asking Sony whether their measures are good enough when compared to countermeasures taken in the past," he said.

Sony has admitted three data breaches so far, the most recent involving details of customers who entered a product sweepstake being discovered on the internet.

The first breach discovered was the hacking of 77 million PlayStation customer accounts, with names, addresses, user names, passwords and possibly credit card details among the information. Sony said it occurred between April 17 and 19.

Then security engineers discovered the hacking of credit and debit card details of about 24.6 million Sony Online Entertainment accounts, of which 336 were from Australia.

Sony shut down the PlayStation Network and the Qriocity music streaming service on April 20.

In the first restoration phase, users will be able to sign in and change their password to the PlayStation and Qriocity networks, Sony said in a statement.

Online games and playback rental video content would be available again for the PlayStation 3 and PlayStation Portable consoles.

Qriocity services and access to third party services such as Netflix, Hulu, Vudu and MLB.tv also would be restored.

"The restoration of the services across the Americas, Europe, Australia, New Zealand, and Middle East are beginning, and consumers will be able to enjoy some of the online functionality provided by both the PlayStation Network and Qriocity services," Sony said.

"Phased restoration in Japan and other Asian countries and regions will be announced in due course. The company expects to have the services fully restored by the end of May 2011."

Happy to see PSN being back up. Anybody who got news to update on each of the PSN UK, US & Msia accounts please share.

Understand that PSN UK & US is up - but is PSN store accessible? Some of the games got codes. Are they redeemable already?

Even Thailand there got restored? Ouch then why Malaysia havent yet?

And its not very stable.. Quite slow and keep on and off , on and off.. Some email got throttled somewhere due to traffic... So , have to wait and not all can online..Complete fixing should be in the morning.. More info about other service and phase 2 also next day in EU then will announce..

really hope can play tmr since its public holiday =)

Thailand psn oso up dy ah...walao...

someone csi and zoom in on the map, see singapore up or not lol

still not up

I expect will be a lot of lag, slowness, etc due to over 75 mil PSN users are going to log in (36 mil in US accounts alone). Still, I just want to sync trophies and redeem my Dragon Age 2 goodies which needs PSN to be signed in (this is my Msia account btw).

Sony should use that map and give a live cast update (eg like Soccernet's gamecast). So surprise Thailand get first. Anyone can verify that?
