A maintenance PLAYSTATION Network is scheduled for tomorrow (Tuesday 14 October 2008).

Tuesday October 14 at 21:00
Wednesday October 15 at 02:00

During this maintenance you can not connect to PLAYSTATION Network.
If you are connected before you should be able to play online without problem.

Thank you for your understanding.

Rumours are abound this is in preparation for FW v2.50, some rumours go further and suggest Home is making an unexpected early appearance

  1. If its home, I’ll eat my shoes


    • If it’s Home I’ll eat your shoes


    • I’ll eat everybodys shoes :)


      • mmmmm, Shoes…


  2. It would be nice to be forewarned of this by Sony rather than having to wait for someone to find it and translate it!


  3. YAY, that means I can still play, but my LBP beta’s expired…. so I have nothing to play…. nooooooooooooooooo.


  4. That means it’s time to FREAK OUT!


  5. I’ve just eaten my home.


  6. I’ve updated. I don’t know what the fuck i updated though. I certainly don’t have Home though.


    • updated? is it live… it’s not for me


  7. This is strange that put’s it about 5:00 pm – 10:00 pm US time where I live. Now I believe Socom is released today although I still need to check with Gamestop to make sure. That means I will not be able to play it tonight which does not make sense. With one of Sony’s exclusive titles and the fact it is online only I would think they would not have PSN being down for any extendid period of time. So either I was wrong and Socom is actually released tomorrow or PSN will not be down or of course Sony is making a huge mistake here.


    • *or Sony is making a huge mistake here. (didn’t mean to add the of course)


      • :-)


    • Yeah interesting point,

      The FW update is reported to contain the feature which will enable the Sony headset to communicate in HQ mode with the PS3

      It would have made sense for this to be live in time for the shops opening in the US, rather than peak time in the evening

      We’ll have to see how it pans out


      • Exactly why I figured it would of been live this morning when I got up. O well not like Sony has never been late with something before. Here’s to hoping I can at least play some Socom tonight wether U can talk on the Mic or not


  8. I didn’t know about the maintenance to PSN until I stumbled onto this site. Hello everyone,by the way


  9. better be 2.5 with flash 9 in there…


  10. btw, when is home officialy scedualed for?


  11. don’t worry about that ill eat yours :)


  12. I don’t have a hat or shoes. Will you buy me a drink, instead? No? Bug’rem! Mmmm. Confectionary.


  13. well I just talked to Gamestop and no Socom till the 15th in the US at least if you got it thru Gamestop. So PSN going down tonight and the firmware update tomorrow does make sense now.


  14. It comes out here same day as Res2 (28/11)…what kind of crazy release schedule is that!!

    We would have liked the benefit of the h/set ready for when Res2 comes out… now for man peoples it’s going to be an either/or decision of which game to choose


  15. agreed that doesn’t make any sense. It would of been one thing if it was released on 28/10. But that is a month and a half after the US. Plus we get R2 on 4/11. That is really strange. But then again I guess you guys are getting used to this.
