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. Not tried to sign in yet as ive yet to get round to doing 3.50

  2. Hmmm – after updating to 3.5 it seems I’m unable to log-in, but the PS3 doesn’t want to log me in cos it’s forgotten my PSN password. Seems the one I remember doesn’t work either. Maintenance or memory loss…not sure!

    • same here was freaking out that some one had locked me out of my own account.

      • Few im not the only one, i though my account had been blocked, looks like theyve deleted my password as my one dont work

  3. thank the lord! i thought my playstation had broken!

  4. You can sign in now.

  5. not impressed at all with the user experience, if PSN is down thats fine but tell me as much when I try to sign in rather than some message about my login being incorrect. Then I won’t click ‘Forgot Password’ and start sweating when it just gives me an error message – really poor

    • How can they tell you if it’s down…? I know, they could announce it online and have gaming sites report it. Oh wait…

  6. I’m sure its technically possible, re-route requests to a “PSN currently down…” message for example
