The network may be offline for maintenance at various times.

Service was restored to most users on May 14, 2011 after the outage of April 20, 2011. Users were required to reset their passwords and download new software to connect to the network.

(to check the network status, see the related link)

I know you want an actual date for the answer. Only Sony will be able to say when the system is up and they have only said what is written below or available at the related links and questions. Any other answer is not from them and is a Guess or Prank

The PlayStation network has been shutdown since April 20 2011 after they learned they learned of a network intrusion. Information on the actual Intrusion is limited by security considerations and criminal procedures. Latest Sony post under related link said the planned procedure to restore services regionally first week of May 2011 has been delayed while it is being tested. There also was several messages about starting a program to provide customer bonuses. The posts at the related link will have the latest and best information that has been provided directly by Sony and is the only source for new information available. A number of Sony's earlier posts can be found in links under the related question

PSN's isn't down for once. PSN servers are commonly down. That's because Sony's security isn't so secure hackers have an easy shot at hacking the servers giving people free stuff from the PlayStation Store.
