Today our global network and security teams at Sony Network Entertainment and Sony Computer Entertainment began the final stages of internal testing of the new system, an important step towards restoring PlayStation Network and Qriocity services.
As previously mentioned, we’ve been working around the clock to rebuild the network and enhance protections of your personal data. It’s our top priority to ensure your data is safe when you begin using the services again.
We understand that many of you are eager to again enjoy the PlayStation Network and Qriocity entertainment services that you love, so we wanted you to be aware of this milestone and our progress. We will provide additional updates as soon as we can.
Note: It was pointed out that the article mentions nothing of SOE.
SOE is not mentioned in the quote. Why is SOE referenced in the headline?
restoring PlayStation Network and Qriocity services.
Qriocity Services by my estimation means SoE and other services that are not PSN.

Qriosity has absolutely nothing to do with SOE games, so that’s not a very good estimation. Thirty seconds and a google search would’ve led you to a different conclusion.
And Grugg, very astute observation. In fact, SOE is barely mentioned in ANYthing that Sony has released of late. It’s all talking about PSN and PSN affiliated services. Truth be told, when SOE comes back online and we start asking for our compensation that they pledged in their “make good” campaign, they can honestly respond, “We never told our SOE customers that. That was for our PSN customers.”
