In what’s hopefully just a blip, it appears that for some, the PlayStation Network has gone back down for ‘maintenance’ again, with that message that we’ve all been used to seeing for weeks.
Earlier today the PSN stirred back into life, bolstered by a new firmware, and this evening here in the UK we were back in business, changing passwords and signing in online.
However, in the last half hour we’ve heard that many users are now getting messages that the PSN is down for maintenance, and are unable to sign in.
We’re assuming that, at this stage, this is all just a by-product of heavy traffic and everyone trying to reset and sign-in at the same time, and that in a short while it’ll iron itself out.
Sony’s Steve Reynolds has tweeted that he’s aware of the issue. “There is a problem with PSN in the latest countries we rolled out to (except UK, IRE & ME),” he said minutes ago.
“We’re dealing with it.”

I can’t get in again either. I assume it’s just traffic with people changing passwords and syncing trophies.

If it’sall just because of high traffic why are we getting the maintenance BS

Haven’t bothered trying to sign in and change password as I thought there would be heavy traffic, gonna wait until tomorrow.

Now this is exciting.
first its dead, then it slowly starts coming back to life and then it crashes again. (though this could just be since this is all still a test to see how stable the servers are)
im sure in due time the network will return to a stable norm.
(ill check my PS3 in a moment)

Just checked, its still down down.
thankfully i have a full day of school today, so ill have something positive to do while i mentally wait for the system to do a Jesus and come back to life
and when i get home ill try jumping onto some Uncharted2 multiplayer.
