Community moderator Yaster has posted on the Official EU Forums that the PlayStation Network will go down tonight for “emergency maintenance”. The downtime will start at 5pm BST and run through until 9pm BST.
“For the first 45 minutes of this maintenance,” he says, “you’ll be unable to access the PS Store, Account Management or Registration pages. If you attempt to access these pages you’ll receive a maintenance notification.”
“You may, however, be able to sign-in to PSN (assuming you have done so previously on the PS3/PSP you’re using) and play online titles,” he confirmed.
When asked what the emergency was by a member of the forums, Yaster replied; “Can’t really say to be honest. Mainly because I don’t know myself what’s going on with it.”
Sounds like whatever’s going on needs to be fixed pretty quickly.

I wonder if this has anything to do with the email I got from PlayStation which was addressed to the wrong person. Hmm.

Someone at Sony just realised they didn’t add cross game chat to the recent firmware & thought they better get a move on ;)

Cross Game Chat really is the Godwin’s Law of Playstation communities, isn’t it.

If it’s ever provided, CGC would probably bring down the whole network.

I’d be surprised to be honest. It seems like one of those vocal minority issues – I’d imagine the overwhelming number of people would never use it, but for some reason it’s become the defining feature to prove Live’s dominance. It’s worth bearing in mind that most PSN users still don’t have/use mics at all.

If they ever introduce it I’m going to go on the playstation blog, and get back at the naggers by demanding on every single thread that they remove it :P

Why don’t people read things properly? Why is everyone moaning that they wont be able to play online when the article specifically states that you should still be able to play online?
Shakugan
Agreed.
