The PSN maintenance, which was scheduled to be completed by 8 AM this morning, has over-run, according to official PlayStation channels.
The downtime is now expected to remain until this evening, with SCEE stating 18:30 GMT is the time you should be back up and running.
The maintenance window was for unspecified (although scheduled) reasons, with Sony stating that online play wouldn’t be affected if users signed in before the servers were tinkered with.

Update: It seems like the network will remain down until approximately 22:00 GMT tonight, according to a reply on the PlayStation forums.

People do need to stop complaining about this happening. firstly it does happen on xbox from time to time. but in the end. it is a service that you pay for. so obviously they are going to make sure they keep it up and running. even if it does need to be updated. they will keep it on for as long as possible. Psn hasnt gone down in a fair while. i play alot. and it hasnt gone down since the big system crash. sometimes things just need work done to it. and thats fine. m ore work and more updates. make for a better expierence. so be patient you cod fan boys. and try playing the single player modes that you did not know existed
