Have a Japanese PSN account? Noticed you haven’t been able to access it, despite being able to access US and European accounts? There’s a reason.
Japanese authorities have halted Sony’s attempt to turn PSN on in its homeland because it believes promised security countermeasures are “incomplete”.
“We met with Sony on 6th May and 13th, and basically we want two things from them,” Kazushige Nobutani, director of the Media and Content Industry department at the Ministry of Economy, Trade and Industry, told Dow Jones Newswires.
