PSN Maintenance Scheduled for this Thursday

PlayStation Network Maintenance has been scheduled to take place this coming Thursday 29th September from 17.00PM until 21.00PM BST.

During this period the PSN will be unavailable from 17.00PM until 19.00PM BST. The usual blurb can be found below.

This will affect the following PlayStation Network Services:

  • PlayStation Store
  • Account Registration
  • Account Management

If you attempt to sign in to the Network during the downtime you will be presented with the site maintenance notification page.

If you are signed in prior to the maintenance, then you should remain signed in and be able to continue with your gaming session (although the above services will be unavailable).

Hopefully this won’t get in the way of the Battlefield 3 beta too much, as it goes live the same day.

  1. Almost daily maintenance now, isn’t it.

    Getting on my tits to be honest especially that timing for us in the UK/EU

  2. So Resistance 3 Meet still on for 7pm, that’s good :)

  3. Hang on; so is that maintenance between 5pm and 9pm, or between 5pm and 7pm?

    • 5 and 9, but you should only have issues between 5 and 7. Unlike me. Im full of issues.

  4. lol im at work those exact hours

    • What job do you do? 4 hour shifts sound lovely!

      • But it also means less pay. ;) He could be working part time at a factory.

  5. Whoah there , doesn’t the 2nd coming happen tomorrow with the battlefield beta beginning ! I’m going to leave mine switched on and signed before I go to work (if I go to work)

    • Whenever I do that I always come home to find I’ve been signed out. Think it must be a setting on my router or something but leaving my playstation signed in but inactive always leads to me getting signed out.

  6. Dammit, this is really beginning to pickle my grits!

    Seriously, what’s all this maintenance about eh??

    • Yeah, those “scheduled maintenances” are unusual frequent at the moment. I’m wondering what they’re working on.

  7. They always say you need to sign in before 4pm but I’ve always been able to sign in during the maintenance. Not once have I been unable to. Wonder why?

  8. Looks like I picked the right night to take my dad out for a curry after work. I don’t understand why the maintainence always happens at peak times. Surely 11am would reduce disruption

    • Because the team is in Japan. So it’s not peak times. For them.

  9. Wow. Better get on early, then. Nice timing, Sony.

  10. Cross Game Chat? ;)

    • was waiting for this :L

      • I know right, its like a tradition now on TSA lol. Someone has to say XGC on all the PS3 maintenance posts.
