PSN Maintenance Tomorrow From 4pm Until Friday

PlayStation have just let us know that the PlayStation Network will be undergoing maintenance from 4pm tomorrow (Thursday) until 8am in the morning on Friday.

During the maintenance, you will be unable to access the following services:

  • PlayStation Store on PS3, PSP and PS Vita
  • PlayStation Network Account Management
  • PlayStation Network Account Registration

“Regular maintenance is a necessary part of operating a service such as PSN,” say Sony.

“As part of our efforts to continue to deliver you a world-class online entertainment experience on your PS3 and PS Vita devices, we will be performing maintenance on the network.”

It looks like online play is unaffected, but you won’t be able to log into your account – should you desire to – via the eu.playstation.com website.

  1. Seriously? 24 hours notice? Thats it?

  2. What is this network built out of to require the most maintenance of any network I’ve ever heard of, continually on an almost several times a week basis.

    I’m picturing a network make out of candle wicks, which keeps getting set fire too.

    Often when they say store & account management I can’t sign in to play games either.

  3. are they building a new sodding network or something. This is getting right on my nips. Sony I give you my middle finger.

  4. “Regular maintenance is a necessary part of operating a service such as PSN” – this statement seems to anticipate the cries of ‘not again!’

  5. I have actually bought myself a Xbox 360 and play that more than my PS3 now due to all the outages of PSN. Far too much maintenance for my liking. It’s always at the wrong times as well. I know they do it so it doesn’t affect the US market so much but PlayStation sells best in Europe. Bigger customer base in Europe so why do we always get the shitty side of the stick?

    • “Outages”? hardly any of these maintenances patches have actually effected online play.

      • Normally when they do maintenance I can’t sign into PSN. Not sure why but I can’t. I can’t get home before 4pm because of work so it means I can’t play online. Surely I’m not the only one that has issues signing in?

      • Fair enough. Never has maintenance effected my online play, but thats just my experience. For others of course it may be different :)

      • Always affects mine… and most people I’ve seen comment.

        Ridiculous volume of maintenance which impact the supposed world class service they claim to be trying to provide.

      • never affect me or the regulars on my friends list as well.

  6. Fine by me. Online play not restricted so don’t see the problem. Its not like I’m dying to change my profile information or buy something from the store on that day.

  7. One day they will just start telling us when the network is not under maintenance

  8. “Regular maintenance is a necessary part of operating a service such as PSN,” say Sony.

    The way things are going, the network will be constantly undergoing maintenance to make sure the network is running at peak performance that nobody can use!

    • “As part of our efforts to continue to deliver you a world-class online entertainment experience”

      lol

  9. I’ve never had an issue signing in during these maintenance windows and it surprises me to hear of other who are unable to sign in. I wonder what the difference is that makes it possible for me to sign in but not others? Seems odd.

    • It’s just like some people may get lag in certain games & others don’t – Just depends on your connection/ISP i would presume.

  10. Performing regular maintenance without shutting something down is entirely possible on a well designed well run service.

    Doesn’t Sony know that to shut down one server you don’t have to cut power to the building?

    • But if they divert power to the hamster in the wheel, he won’t live his expected 2 years!
