Cross-game chat comments should have stopped a long time ago ;) http://www.thesixthaxis.com/2011/08/19/cross-game-chat-for-ps3-not-possible/

Oh well, seeing as I’m trying to finish Resistance 2 single-player before Resistance 3 comes out, that’s ok.

You can still sign in and play online.
colmshan1990
Only if you sign in before 5pm.
Otherwise, you’re out of luck.

its like psn is playing at politics giving with one hand and taking away with the other
cam the man
I thought politicians gave with one and took away by the dozen.

But, why do it then..? Surely middle of the night or early morning would be a better time for this?

It’s all about global times. It’s probably a more suitable time in Japan.
bacon_nuts
2am, you’re right..
McProley
no Dead Island For me after work tomorrow then :9
tonycawley
Why not? You can still sign in and play online, its just the store, account management and registration that are affected.
McProley
oh, thats ok then. damn my rush reading!

If I was a writer for this site, I think I’d just write the headline and populate the article with gibberish. It seems nobody reads anything beyond the headline anyway.
Youles
Not sure what you’re going on about, but I’m more concerned that I’m not going to be able to play online tomorrow! :p

The next maintenance article should be labelled:
BREAKING: You will be able to play online between 5PM and 11PM BST!!!
tonycawley
Don’t bother, they’ll just read “breaking” and think the whole psn is broken then start moaning that they won’t be able to play online as the whole internet is broken.
Origami Killer
I see your point tony, no where does it say you won’t be able to play online. People just don’t read the articles these days, puts in this case dan’s hard work to shame
Crazy_Del
Hmmmm what did I plan to play tomorrow…. ah yes Resistance 3 planned to play singleplayer and multiplayer on Friday ^^
Tony sometimes when there’s maintenance my PS3 sometimes won’t let me sign in, happens quite a few times (:-/
tonycawley
Never happens for me mate, though I’m sure it probably does for some. No reason why you shouldn’t be able to sign in though.

Hope it’s so they can stop the delay after adding something to your basket on the store. Hate that you can’t move etc for a couple of seconds.
Origami Killer
That is very frustrating, sometimes it’s longer than a few seconds now! and frequently the download option takes an age to click
Youles
More annoying for me is that there is no Seach function on your Download list, and everything on my Download list is not still available in the Store, so I have to spend ages searching or trying to remember the date!!

My PS3 has started to lag in MW2 this week for some reason as well :/
