Can’t sign into the PSN? Looks like it’s down for most, currently labeled as ‘unscheduled maintenance’.
The PlayStationEU account has just tweeted the following:
We’re aware that PSN is currently unavailable and working with the technicians to find out when it will be restored. Apologies.
Community mod RabidWalker backs this up:
Currently there is an unscheduled maintenance on the PSN, which is affecting the PSN and forum Sign In, I will update when I have more info.
No further information has been given, as soon as we hear anything further we will let you know.

PSN was playing up last night, and Sony posted some tips on how to get online working with forwarding ports etc, so they must have known something was up!

“which is affecting the PSN and forum Sign In”
It means people can’t sign in, if you were signed in before then you’re probably ok, just like when they do scheduled maintenance.

Reassuring, as when we were hacked, they pulled the plug & naturally everyone was signed out.
The waiting game it is, luckily playable offline.

Lol, i’m playing that now too as Resistance 3 froze my PS3 and i had to reboot.

Another leak?

Looks like I’m gonna stay signed it then. I have access to everything. :)

Yersal
Yeah I see you Mr Bodachi, right at the top of my friends list.
Yersal
Don’t worry Forrest I’m keeping a close eye on him, I won’t let him touch your stuff or nick your trophies
Forrest_01
Lol – Good stuff, ’cause i’m at work at the moment & going out afterwards, so he could make out like a bandit!
I worked so hard at that Red Dead plat too! XD
Bodachi
I haven’t got that platinum…. *Shifty Eyes*
Yersal
If you are going to plunder his list could you get me his Arkham Asylum plat please. I envy that one the most :)
Bodachi
Yeah sure I’ll get a list together.

This can’t be another hack, somebody at sony has just pressed the off button by accident.
I hope it isn’t another hack though.
StevenHibs
I agree, especially after they only said a few weeks ago that PSN is secure as ever!
Awayze
Maybe the hackers thought it was time for a new challenge…
GhostViper
Ah, well that explains it.

What would happen if games were only available through clouds like onlive? All of a sudden no access to any games. Always good to have offline as a backup

This is exactly why i will always want a boxed product.
Well, that & that fact that i can trade boxed stuff of course!
I will buy the odd thing from the store of course (not at the moment obviously!), but that remains to be smaller bite-size games, not AAA titles.
