They have made regular posts to advise what is going on and their best estimates of when service will be restored. 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 messages of May 10 and May 7 and the related question. Any other answer is not from them and is a Guess, Prank, or earlier estimate
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 of May 7 said the planned procedure to restore services regionally first week of May 2011 has been delayed while it is being tested and the May 10 message said that they were unable to provide an exact date and would be at least a few more days. 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
