InFamous 2 beta extended due to PSN downtime

Posting on Twitter, developer Sucker Punch explained, "We've decided to extend the beta. Once PSN is back up we'll determine by how long, but rest assured: your outcry has been heard."

Meanwhile, Sony has yet to offer a concrete timeframe for PSN's reactivation, but said in an update this morning that it's working to get it back up quickly. Aside from the statement that "an external intrusion" is involved, Sony has not released the cause of the outage, but current speculation suggests that a recent release of custom firmware may be the reason for the shut down.
