Looks like there’s going to be about seven hours of PSN maintenance today, starting at midnight on the 3rd, Japan time, according to Sony.
We get that to be from 4pm today onwards, UK time, and thus affects our WipEout 2048 meet and will mean today’s Store Update won’t be immediately browsable – please see update below.
The Japanese PSN state tends to be updated more often and with more notice than anywhere else, so it might be worth keeping an eye on this page in future.
This particular downtime was listed there two days ago.
The maintenance will definitely affect the PS Store, and possibly Account Management and Account Registration. We’ll update with confirmation if any is forthcoming.
Sony Europe seem to think it’s next week.
Update: Sony have confirmed today’s maintenance but highlighted that it’s little more than a Store thing, so everything else will be unaffected. The information above will carry over to next week’s update though.

I had loads of problems yesterday, kept on getting server connection errors and maintenance errors on the store.

How about listing times it’s not down. Much easier.

I am not bothered by weekly maintenance as I play wow and we have weekly maintenance. I am not bothered by it as long as it doesn’t happen when the store updates.
If this stops people hacking the PSN again, then so be it.

I’ll bet it’s not for 7 hours at a time & that you get no notification about it until the day though!!

Doing maintenance the same day the PS Store updates is a very bad idea.

I had some problems last night trying to log in. At first it told me my password was out of date and no longer valid, then it gave me an error code then logged in.
I wonder if all this hacking/ custom firmware is playing a part in all this. I know its a pain in the arse maintenance but if Sony are keeping on top of it you cant blame them. Its must be hard the amount of different gaming machines they have that can access their network.

Just posted via twitter that it is minor maintenance and shouldn’t effect anything major and if it does just retry.

Yep, just updated the post, thanks.

So just the store is down today in today’s maintenance window & the rest will be down in next week’s maintenance window?
Have I read that right?

Just read it is, so the store is down this store update day and then next week everything else is down, which may also include your ability to access the store
And people still stick up for them.
Is there another network in the world down as often as this, I’d quite happily pay the £26/yr Live costs for a network that doesn’t go down 1/7th (14%) of the prime gaming time.

Its a nice sunny day so not bothered , as usual tons of single player titles and psn games ive barely scratched the surface of . I enjoy these maintenance days . Must be good for devs as well as we appreciate our other games other than COD FIFA and Battlefield online !

the one market where they’re leading and they continue to shit on it.
contact the guinness people, sony clearly hold the record for the most stupid, idiotic, and downright moronic management of all time.
so the whole network isn’t going down?
that good, just the store, on the store update day of the biggest market for the ps3.
no wonder they’re fucking losing money, they’re all retarded.
forest gump could do better.
