This is so upsetting, the worst part about it is that this rumor began circulating mid week, last week. Sony had ample time to put a stop to the rumors, yet they didn't. Everyone got their hopes up only to have them crushed. I realize it was just a rumor, and shouldn't have been taken as fact, but I can remember before May 14th the rumors spreading saying the network would be back up May 14th, sure enough those rumors panned out and were true. Maybe the store was going to go back up today, I've been reading that Sony had another cyber attack, not on the PSN this time but on other online services that Sony offers for other products. Could be the real reason it didn't go up today.
Sony has said all online services will be restored by the end of the month. It is now my prediction, that the store won't be on until the 31st, and not a day before. Since the 31st is the end of the month, I can see them waiting until the last possible day to get the store up.
