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.

  1. Time for some more forza before f1 then!

  2. Looks like I’ll soldier on with tumble, maybe do some veteran levels on MW2

  3. Best of a bad situation I guess, doing it the day before an update rather than the day OF the update as they’ve done before… even so, it’s still annoying, just as I was starting to get back into Borderlands… guess no online there tomorrow.

  4. Tumble will keep me busy (half-way through zone 8 in my 02:00 insomniac peak gaming period, cigarette break!), not that maintenance has really ever bothered me that much anyway. If you just leave yourself logged in 24/7 you never get logged out during maintenance anyway.

  5. so for those who get up at 1700 and start the night shift at 2200 no pre work play ‘not of the gaming variety anyway’ ;)

  6. Dammit I’m already in the middle of transfering my data from the phat PS3 to the Slim it will be done today but don’t know what time and I need to activate my account

  7. hopefully there will be some nice PS+ content added

  8. lucky my f1 2010 arrives wed :)

  9. Strange, firmware 3.50 is out already, I wonder why they need maintenance as well?

    • yeah, i signed in a couple hours ago to find out the update was ready and there to download. I even came back here to double check the date and time of the downtime…

  10. I cant sign in to psn anymore is this because of the PSN Maintenance?
