Sony continues to restore PlayStation service

SAN FRANCISCO - May 31, 2011

The company shut down the services in April after a massive security breach that affected more than 100 online accounts.

Sony started restoring access in the U.S. and Europe on May 15, and began a phased restoration of the service in Japan and elsewhere in Asia on Saturday. Video game consoles such as the PlayStation are effectively banned in China.

Sony says it has added "considerable" security enhancements to its service.
