Yeah that shit is annoying. Should let you opt out of receiving those.

Wha...What? You have to opt IN to receiving them.

[monocromo]

Is it currently down for everyone ?

It says that my password is no longer valid and isthepsndown.com seems to think its down but my us account does log in =/ ... wtf ?

edit: ... disregard this. After four tries it did log in.

[netguy503]

It's down for me and I was playing dead nation with a friend last night and it was REALLY laggy at the end there. What's going on?

Edit: No, don't disregard this above poster. There is a problem with Sony's servers here. I can get online but everytime I try to enter account management or download history it says server under maintenance. ugh. :(

[Diablos]

I can sign in, but I am having problems accessing the store. Basically:

First attempt - black screen
Second attempt - Gets to the store but when I go to a menu it times out.
Third attempt - Gets me a little further into the store but still times out.

FINALLY it tells me that the service is "undergoing maintenance".

This is ridiculous. I know it's a free service but the outages lately have been completely unacceptable. Wasn't it just down for maintenance last weekend? I'm off today and I want to fucking buy something. I'm sick of this shit.

[The Albatross]

I fucking hate PSN. It may be free, but I am sick of having to download a ~20 minute update & installation every time on turn on my PS3... that does nothing.

[Sylver]

Maybe they're removing PSVita hen enabler game.

[Diablos]

Maybe they should figure out how to manage a fucking network or not have one at all.

Everytime?
I guess you don't use your PS3 that much? :p

It's Sony. It'll be in the middle.

my experience is the same as yours. I'm free today and want to play dead nation with a friend. If I don't play it today he usually plays with a friend and that OVERWRITES OUR SAVED GAME. How annoying is that. We could be playing right now but SONY is stupid and didn't give us advanced notice this was happening. Also, are online experience last night was EXTREMELY laggy. What gives?

But, above poster, at least you don't have to play a game in a certain window of time because your game overwrites your save file everytime you play it. I mean, in this day and age, is there really any excuse for that?

[Combichristoffersen]

I was about to buy some shit off the PSN store, but apparently Sony hates my money so much they took the store offline.

[Diablos]

netguy: There's no excuse. I love a lot of Sony's first party stuff, but in terms of how they operate as a company/business I'm starting to get a bit scared. They're slow to react and don't seem to know what they're doing.

If they take down the network without notice, it is most likely an unschedueled thing.

About Dead Nation, let Housemarque know: http://www.housemarque.com/contact

It's not "every time", but it's very true that they are a bit OCD with the firmware updates.

If they take down the network without notice, it is most likely an unschedueled thing.

Makes me wonder if Anonymous breached security again. So much for all that initial + scheduled downtime since this time last year if true.

[Wario64]

Maybe they're removing PSVita hen enabler game.

Someone just told me that Super Collapse 3 can be used to exploit the Vita. Looks like they are pulling it. By pulling it, I mean bringing down PSN. smh.

[Diablos]

Seriously? That's how inefficient it is? They just can't delete it from the servers without having to take the whole store offline?

[Wario64]

It could be just a coincidence. A big coincidence..

[Sylver]

Seriously? That's how inefficient it is? They just can't delete it from the servers without having to take the whole store offline?

Well that game is not in all the stores only some of them. They have to remove search tag tables from those stores too. The same way they did with Everybody's Tennis and Motorstorm, they removed demo version, too. Full versions turned up but demos don't :(.

Or someone tripped in a wire and spilled coffee over a server :) It could be anything really.

I doubt it. I cant recall seeing this with Motorostorm and Everybody's Tennis.

[Diablos]

Well then maybe it's time to nuke the store and come up with a better design. That's completely unacceptable.

[Craiji]

This is why I always watch the jp network status, as SCEA is very bad at PSN status updates.

For the past 6-7 weeks there has been maintenance about 3 days a week, I have never seen it at this frequency.

The is some scheduled today,

http://www.jp.playstation.com/psn/state2.html

But it is a bit early...

[Pookaki]

Man. I purchased a PS3 no more than 20 minutes ago. Get it home and I cant sign into PSN?

Awesome first impressions.

[The Albatross]

OMGZZZZ evry tym ders an upd8

Yeah, and it's deserved.

[DenogginizerOS]

I have been having trouble this afternoon logging in to BF3 servers as well as PSN. No word on twitter either.

[test_account]

It is up now, at least for me. Super Collapse 3 is not removed, so it was not related to that.

[Gez]

The heck is happening with the PSN? For the past couple of days im struggling to even play SF3, Tekken 6 and SFxTekken online. There is a good reason why this piece of shit serivce is free. I'm not just complaining about the last couple days its a reflection of the PSN over the last few years.

i'm sure sony will release a PR stating that with the influx of new users and games from other competitor's platform flocking to the free Playstation Network service they have been working long hours to fix the downtimes they've been having.

Its that time again!

PlayStation Network Scheduled Maintenance Thursday It’s been a busy month on the PSN front, as we put together yet another jam-packed PlayStation Plus update, kicked off the massively-popular Mass Effect 3: N7 Weekly Challenges, dropped the PSN exclusive game PixelJunk 4am as part of an epic PlayStation Store update, and more! Regular maintenance is a necessary part of operating a service such as PSN. As part of our efforts to continue to deliver you a world-class online entertainment experience on your PS3 and PS Vita devices, we will be performing maintenance on the network on Thursday, May 24th, starting at approximately 8:00 am PDT / 10:00 am EDT and concluding around 11:00pm PDT / 2:00am EDT. During this maintenance period, you may receive a message that states “PlayStation Network is undergoing maintenance” when attempting to access the PlayStation Store or PlayStation Home. Online play will not be affected and you will be able to enjoy apps such as Netflix and Amazon Instant Video during this maintenance as well, provided that you have signed into the network within 5 days prior to the start of the maintenance period. We will update you with any changes that may occur in regards to this maintenance. If you would like to receive a notice when PSN is fully restored, be sure to follow the official PlayStation Twitter account. Thanks for your patience and support.

[Mikey Jr.]

Not this shit aga-............

"Online play will not be affected..."

Ohh, I don't give a fuck then.

Further proof that no one at Sony takes a look at what their competitors are doing.

[test_account]

Or that the competitors doesnt do any maintenance at all! ;)

Seriously though, it would be interesting to know exactly what they do during these maintenance peroids. It is not about adding or removing products at least. They add new stuff every week, and they have removed some games without shutting down the PS Store first.

They started to happen way more frequently after the PSN hack. It probably has something to do with the increased security, or the changes they did to the network.

[Wario64]

[DMPrince]

using these stats for E3 i bet. Playstation owners are always connected online for more than 24 hours.

[Afrikan]

omg I forgot about Demon Souls servers eventually shutting down. :( never got around to buying it. Was going to eventually damn.

[Fuzzy]

Wario is back. That's nice.

[IceDoesntHelp]

Wow, how cool of Sony. They knew I didn't work tomorrow, so they're screwing me over. Jerks. ):

[WickedCobra03]

Yeah, so does anyone else have the problem of not being able to sign in? It keeps popping up an error of; "Sony Entertainment Network is currently undergoing maintenance". And I did sign onto PSN through my PS3 recently as this morning to play a round of CoD: BlOps at like 7 am CST. Anyone else having problems? Sony said that multiplayer is still supposed to work, right?

[Tiolazo]

I was trying to point out the time zone discrepancies

8 AM PDT =! 9 AM CT
8 AM PDT =! 10 AM EDT

[test_account]

I just logged in with my Vita. I logged into my PS3 about 3 hours ago, no problem here (located in Europe).

Yeah, it is probably related to security indeed.

[Cactus]

The game is amazing even without the online component.

[Rebel Leader]

So PSN is in maintenance?
