As far as tech outages go, the recent Playstation Network downtime is a real doozy. The company has been working hard to recover from the security breach, but that involves a move to a new server bank, software upgrades, testing, and on and on. But just how bad is it?

That graph from The Technologizer should tell you. You’ll probably remember a few of those dates from the wild amount of wailing and gnashing of teeth that accompanied those outages. And that graph says nothing of the amount of personal data that was pilfered from Sony servers, which led to the outage in the first place.

How does an online service recover from massive data theft and 3+ weeks of downtime. In all honesty, it might not. We’ll have to see how Sony plays its cards for the remainder of the year.
