I don’t recall any earlier messages about the PSN going down this afternoon but it is, albeit briefly, and – hurrah – whilst most of us are still at work.
There will be PSN maintenance this afternoon 14:50 – 16:50 BST. Online
gameplay will be available to those who have recently signed in.— PlayStation Europe (@PlayStationEU) March 31, 2014
Hopefully the maintenance will not over run and we can all get back to shooting people in the head when we get in from the office.

I have always wondered how recent ‘recently signed in’ is?!

Cool, about time it was at a reasonable time. Couldn’t of worded it better myself.

Can’t play Tomb Raider because the licence can’t be verified. Hoping it has something to with this and nothing else.

Go to your settings, go to PSN and restore your licenses. Should fix it. Annoying thing that happens randomly.

Tried that bud, getting an error relating to connecting the server.

What really annoys me is they never stick to the timeframe they give. Why even bother? Still can’t play anything.

Yep, still down ATM.
Can’t play Dead Nation :<[

Yep… Dodged the pub tonight on the way home from work & thought I’d settle down to a nice quiet night of Battlefield… Should’ve know better.

Everything back up for me. Looks like it was connected with the maintenance. Oh well.

I swear they only do this when I actually need something from the PSN.
Bought South Park from the web store from work and wanted to download the game when I got home but since I bought it from my US account which I rarely use I couldn’t sign in…
I had to leave an hour after the maintenance was scheduled to end and I was still unable to sign in.
