PlayStation Network Almost Restored In Japan

You've probably been using the fully operational PlayStation Network since early June…unless you live in Japan. The country remains the only one without full access to PSN's offerings, but that changes tomorrow.

On July 6, Japan will finally have full PSN functionality restored, including the Qriocity Service (which I doubt anyone missed) and the PlayStation Store.

Why did Japan have to wait so much longer? Though Sony never issued a statement, rumors point to delayed restoration being tied to Sony meeting the security demands of the Japanese government.

Starting tomorrow, Sony can officially say the debacle is in the past.. though the company still has a long way to go in rebuilding good faith among gamers.
