Check your country's PSN site to see the news. Have to do system update first (which I'm currently 30% through) but hopefully, within the next half hour I'll be able to use the network again to change pw etc and maybe connect to a few other servers again (EA for example). So I'd guess by their rollout strategy, the US are up, Europe is up/on it's way up, and it'll be spreading out towards the eastern side of life and the aussies over the coming hours.
EDIT
From the PSN site:
"Sony Computer Entertainment introduces increased security measures ahead of PSN service restoration.
Sony Computer Entertainment (SCE) and Sony Network Entertainment International (SNEI, the company) will today begin a phased restoration by region of PlayStation Network and Qriocity services. The phased restoration will be on a country by country basis beginning in the Americas, Europe, Australia, New Zealand and the Middle East.
The first phase of restored services for North America and Europe will include:
Sign-in for PlayStation Network and Qriocity services, including the resetting of passwords.
Restoration of online gameplay across PlayStation 3 and PSP.
Playback rental video content, if within rental period, of PlayStation Store Video Store on PS3, PSP and Media Go.
Q Music Unlimited, for current subscribers, on PS3 and PC.
Access to third party services such as VidZone and MUBI.
'Friends' category on PS3, including Friends List, Chat Functionality, Trophy Comparison, etc.
PlayStation Home.
"
Then it goes on about security stuff but reading that will take forever >_>
