Sony Network Entertainment VP Eric Lempel says "an exceptional experience with the new store" must be certain before a new launch date is announced, and that means adjusting the overhaul in response to inconvenient issues that have bothered customers elsewhere.<br /><br />The new storefront missed its <a href="http://www.joystiq.com/2012/10/18/playstation-store-reboot-misses-uk-launch-sony-unsure-when-itl/">launch date</a> with the UK, but is already available in seemingly imperfect form in PAL territories like Turkey, Greece, Hungary and <em>where can we get a panini right now?</em><p style="padding:5px;background:#ffffcc;border:1px solid #ffff99;clear:both;"><a href="http://www.joystiq.com"><img src="http://www.joystiq.com/media/feedlogo.gif" alt="Joystiq" style="float:left;padding:0 5px 5px 0;" /></a><a href="http://www.joystiq.com/2012/10/19/playstation-store-revamp-postponed-in-north-america/">PlayStation Store revamp postponed in North America</a> originally appeared on <a href="http://www.joystiq.com">Joystiq</a> on Fri, 19 Oct 2012 21:08:00 EST.

Following Sony's announcement of the PSN data leak, Congress <a href="http://www.joystiq.com/2011/04/30/congress-sends-inquiry-to-sony-about-psn-security-breach/">sent an inquiry</a> to the company seeking more information about the breach and Sony's response to it. And Sony responded to that with ... <a href="http:// http://www.joystiq.com/2011/05/04/sony-responds-to-congress-with-open-letter-suggests-anonymous/">an open letter</a>.<br />
<br />
Now Sony Network Entertainment president Tim Schaff plans to make an actual, personal appearance before the House  subcommittee on Commerce, Manufacturing, and Trade, to discuss <a href="http://bono.house.gov/News/DocumentSingle.aspx?DocumentID=241889">follow-up questions</a> sent to the company by Representative Mary Bono Mack. The questions speak to the nature of the stolen data, the method through which it was stolen, and how Sony plans to keep data safe in the future. Schaff will be joined by a representative from Epsilon, a marketing company who suffered its own recent <a href="http://www.engadget.com/2011/04/03/tivo-email-database-compromised-by-epsilon-security-breach-spam/">data breach</a>.<br />
<br />
We're guessing the members of the subcommittee will all have their "<a href="http://www.joystiq.com/2011/05/16/sony-reveals-choice-of-free-game-downloads-in-psn-welcome-back-p/">Welcome Back</a>" copies of <em>InFamous</em> hand-delivered.<p style="padding:5px;background:#ffffcc;border:1px solid #ffff99;clear:both;"><a href="http://www.joystiq.com"><img src="http://www.joystiq.com/media/feedlogo.gif" alt="Joystiq" style="float:left;padding:0 5px 5px 0;" /></a><a href="http://www.joystiq.com/2011/05/27/sony-network-entertainment-head-addressing-us-congress-next-week/">Sony Network Entertainment head addressing US Congress next week</a> originally appeared on <a href="http://www.joystiq.com">Joystiq</a> on Fri, 27 May 2011 18:30:00 EST.
