The PlayStation Network will be offline from 4pm today until midnight, suggesting that the Store will be back up and running tomorrow, as previously rumoured.
“PlayStation Network [will be] offline for scheduled maintenance,” says an update from Sony today, which also states that that gamers will be unable to access the following services:
- PlayStation Store on PS3 and PSP.
- PlayStation Network Account Management.
- PlayStation Network Account Registration.
“In addition,” says the bulletin, “you will not be able to sign in to PlayStation Network from eu.playstation.com.”
“If you wish to play online during the maintenance, please ensure you sign in to PSN before 16:00 on Tuesday 24 May 2011.”
“During this maintenance, you can continue to collect in-game trophies and these will be updated on your profile once PlayStation Network is back up and running.”
Thanks, GAF.

I will be amazed if the store can handle all the users jumping on for their free games!

Absolutely perfect timing for me =]
My second exam is tomorrow morning, and I have over a week before the next one, so was already planning on catching up on some gaming tomorrow evening – if the store is up, and I can get me some free stuff, well that’s even better!

If I’m still up after midnight, I’ll try getting online and see if the store is up. Fingers crossed!

During this time I’ll be unable to access the store eh? Important news that Sony, ’cause I’ve been using it endlessly for the past couple of weeks and wouldn’t want the surprise of it not working…

Just pointing out to people in the UK we’re on BST not GMT so the times are 5pm-1am for us.

Turns out this isn’t the case. GMT was a mistake and supposed to be BST. So it is 4pm-12am for UK users.
