Sony made good on its promise to restore the beleaguered PlayStation Network back to full strength, re-opening the online PlayStation Store and also allowing players to re-download past purchases.

The PlayStation Blog brags about the PlayStation Store’s long-in-the-making return and ticks off a dizzying amount of new items for sale.

Perhaps just as importantly, the PlayStation brand has a little of is swagger back, because silenced corporate mascot character Kevin Butler has ended his Twitter hiatus, just in time for next week’s E3 trade show. He tweets: “I’m not saying I was in “places undisclosed” with my SEAL team. But I’m not not saying it either.”

Now PlayStation gamers are only waiting on Sony to open up its promised welcome back program.
