The PSN Store Update might be a tricky one tomorrow, as it looks like Sony are pulling the Store offline for a good few hours just at the time when it normally goes live.
According to PlayStation, the service will be offline for “scheduled maintenance” from just after 4pm tomorrow until 3am on Thursday morning, GMT.
During the maintenance, you will be unable to access the following services:
- PlayStation Store on PS3 and PSP.
- PlayStation Network Account Management.
- PlayStation Network Account Registration.
In addition, you will not be able to sign in to PlayStation Network from eu.playstation.com. If you wish to play online during the maintenance, Sony say, please ensure you sign in to PSN before 16:05 on Wednesday 9 March 2011.
Of course, you can still grab Trophies when you’re offline, and they’ll sync just fine when the PSN comes back online.
Still, bizarre timing, presumably not times set by SCEE.

Is this going to impact on tomorrows’ Killzone 3 meet-up??
BrendanCalls
Definitely, I was looking forward to a TSA mash up too
Looks like I might spend my time getting through KZ on Elite then
TheDeathAvenger
No, the maintenance should be finished hours (about 16) before the KZ meet.
TheDeathAvenger
Completely ignore that, I somehow got mixed up!
Sympozium
It shouldn’t if people are still online after 4pm, its risky though
quinkill
I’ll try to be online before 4pm then…fingers crossed!

Hmm, I won’t be getting home til after 6, so I may try and leave my PS3 folding all day so I can still make it to the meet…
