It has been announced via the PlayStation forums that there will be scheduled PSN maintenance taking place this Thursday 3rd November from 16.00 until 21.00 GMT.

You all know the drill:

The following services will be affected between 16.00 and 18.00.

  1. Great, the PSN doesn’t get much maintenance. I’m glad the haven’t forgotten! :S

    • I like this comment, it amused me, well done.

  2. Wonder what they are maintaining this time? Please guys don’t say cross game chat – It ain’t happening :)

  3. seriously though, what can all the maintenance be for? Surely we don’t break i that often?! What have they changed that now makes it almost a requirement to be doing work on it once a fortnight??

    • Suppose they have to keep changing things up to keep the hackers out.

    • Possibly could be getting ready for Vita, the fact its regular definitely means there up to something!

      • Surely being up to somehting would mean proper downtime, followed by a few maintenances to fix things up?

        Regardless, at least its not an extended period of time and they are all just short sessions

      • maybe they would rather no more downtime after the hack, so are doing the update in small manageable chunks, so people don’t get annoyed?

  4. There’s a typo in the headline, this Thursday should be every Thursday.

  5. That’ll give everyone a chance to try the single player on BF3 then.

  6. getting things ready for Vita maybe Japan launch soon.

    UC3 SP will entertain me fine.

    • Isn’t it something like 17th December?!

      • that is right tony not long really.

  7. No problem for me . Won’t be even playing PS3 then :P I do wonder why in the last month there has been regular maintenance.

  8. Is the PS+ auto-download still broken….can’t remember when I last had a notification when starting up that a patch had been downloaded?

    • there is a non mandatory update that fixes that I think try updating your PS3 on manual.

      • Thanks for the response, but I did that a couple of weeks ago.

        Maybe there haven’t been any patches. I did have a trophy sync notification, but not sure if they come under the same thing – I mean, can one work but the other doesn’t?

      • it should come under the same thing.

      • Thanks – then in that case maybe just had no patches. Cheers mate

      • I don’t use it any more, it didn’t work for me in the first place.

    • The Auto-download was fixed a while ago.

  9. Dammit, why Thursday?? Why not this evening when i am spending time with the missus instead of playing?? Are they not cheking my calendar before they arrange these things??

  10. Nice of them to pick a time that will affect the least amount of people…..not.

    • of course, they are so considerate………not
