May 24 : Playstation Store Will Revive

According to a memo sent to Sony's game developer and publishing partners, Sony's Playstation Store for the PS3 and PSP will be back at May 24. The company has sent a tentative publishing schedule to partners detailing when their games, expansions and other releases will become available to players

According to the memo obtained by Gamasutra, in order to catch up with the backlog of content, Sony will do 2 content pushes each week for the next 2 weeks.

The first push, set to coincide with the PlayStation Store's reopening, will distribute content that was originally scheduled to publish on April 26. Three days later on the 27th, another round of games will go live, which were originally scheduled for May 3.

The following week, pushes will take place on May 31 and June 3, using content that originally had been planned to be spread over three weeks. At that point, the company will be back on schedule and, presumably, return to a single content push per week.

Even though Sony is trying to maintain the queue already in place, the company said it's willing to move some titles around. "If there are concerns, we are willing to consider adjusting the release date of your content on this schedule," says Osorno. "Adjustments will be made on a case by case basis."

The return of the PlayStation Store also means that the 77 million PSN users inconvenienced by the network's nearly three-week outage will be able to digitally download the free games offered by Sony as part of the "Welcome Back" program.

Quite another uplifting news! Seems like that the end of the "PSN Outage" arc is almost ending! Just 10 days left to the end of May!
