PSA: PSN Maintenance On Thursday

At the risk of being called a Microsoft shill again, here’s some news about the PlayStation Network having another outage for maintenance.

They’ve just tweeted that the service will be down between the hours of 02:00 and 08:00 UK time on Thursday (that’s after midnight tonight).

Apparently PlayStation Network services will be intermittent for some users. Some would joke that the PSN is constantly intermittent but not me. No, I’m not nearly amusing enough to try to make a well-meaning, lighthearted joke out of a subject that so many people get so worked up about.

So, there you go. Nice that this bout of maintenance is in the middle of the night, so less inconvenient than their usual scheduled outages. It will be even nicer if these mysterious maintenance periods do something noticeable to the service. I mean, all the extra security and server tweaking is probably invaluable but I’d like it if they even just changed the font every now and then. Just to mix things up. Keep us on our toes.

Not that it will matter to me, my entire network is having a sulk for the past two weeks. Oooh, I wonder if Sony will nip round and do some maintenance for me?!

  1. at a reasonable time for europe?

    did i wake up in a parallel universe again?

    i’m never going to get back to that one where the jaffa cakes fell from the sky like rain.

    • How amazing would that be! Jaffa cake lovelyness!

      • Depends if you like jaffa cakes i guess. Or have a bizarre allergic reaction to sponge.

    • I remeber when i woke up in the universe of raining ladies. And then the universe of ball crushing.

  2. Just need to post this again, claiming it’s another piece of maintenance and everyone will be happy ;)

    Good hours for it though.
