PSN Maintenance Tuesday September 21st

Kovacs 37 Comments

Just as we were getting all smarty-pants about the PlayStation Network going offline for North America, it looks like Europe, too, will be experiencing its very own online blackout. Deemed “scheduled maintenance” (as opposed to, you know, Sony’s more favoured maintenance of the chaotic and unscheduled kind), the following services will be offline between the hours of 16:00 (4pm for all you 24-hour clock deniers) tomorrow, Tuesday the 21st of September, and 02:00 (or smack bang in the middle of insomniac suffers’ most active gaming period), Wednesday, September 22nd: 

  • The PlayStation Store
  • PlayStation Network Account Management
  • PlayStation Network Account Registration

Those that wish to play online during the moratorium on multiplayer mayhem are asked to make sure to log in before the release window starts. This downtime is necessary to push out firmware 3.50, which you should know all about already.

In related news, Red Dead Redemption’s Liars and Cheats DLC will actually be released tomorrow morning between the hours of 9am and 10am BST. This is the exception rather than the rule, however, as the remainder of this week’s content will update on Wednesday as usual.

  7. No i may only be home 5-10 minutes before then. Oh well lent Final Fantasy off my mate today so ill make a start on that.

  8. I’ll be traveling next few days anyway, heading to Belfast to visit brother who’s only got a Wii. Oh well, i can tell him in detail how much better Move is mwuhaha!

  9. Am I the only one who can ALWAYS get on PSN during maintenance? Everyone says “oh, guess I’ll play [insert single-player game here]” but I’ve never had an issue getting online no matter when I sign in.

    • Is that you Jackie T.?

    • Nope, I can get on too. Everyone should be able to really as sony only say the features listed won’t be available, not online play.

  10. I suppose a Tuesday is about the best time for maintenance.
