I heard a while back that they won't bring it online until the entire world's PSN is back up. There are credit card companies in Japan preventing the PSN coming back up in Japan because they fear more hacks will happen. Until those credit card companies back off and allows the PSN to be turned on in country, there probably will be no Store for a while.
