Playstation Network down for maintenance?

Mush

6.0
Anyone else having issues signing in? I wanted to play some MW2 and I'm greeted with the message: "PlayStation Network is currently undergoing maintenance". Was this planned? I've looked on the EU and US blogs and I can't find anything about it.

Edit: I have an EU account.
 
Me too, I wanted to get onto Singstar Online, and it said it was down for maintainance. Oh, and I wanted to buy Scott Pilgrim too :(
 
online in EU now... 5 friends online and someone just came on...?


weird.... sony says psn is off.


edit 2.... but it just let me sync my trophies.

XGAME CHAT INCOMING!!!

damn, and i was gonna play some BC1 or BC2 after i finish cleaning this chicken too...

Cross-game chat, universal video recording, Killzone 3 and LBP 2 betas and cloud saving to go live during the CG conference next week confirmed? Holy shit, can't wait!
 
PC Engine and Neo Geo games?
 
I was just able to log in now. But I had the maintenance message first until Scott Pilgrim crashed on the title screen and I restarted the PS3.
 
I just got kicked the fuck off in the US. I logged in for a second and it was cool. Then "You have been disconnected from PlayStation Network". I tried to log back in and got the maintenance message.

This always seems to happen Sunday afternoons. Why doesn't Sony wait till night? Or a Tuesday early AM when no one is on.
 
Bizarre.

Same machine with two Euro (UK) accounts and a US account. One of the Euro accounts can log in but the other can't! (The US one logs in too.)

FWIW the Euro that can log in is usually logged in from the other side of the world. Not that I think it matters...

EDIT: All is well with the world again. Warhawk here I come.

i have a feeling this is related to the USB jigkick thingy...
Or just a regular maintenance like in the past. They likely schedule these things. You're reading into it too much. Hacking related fixes would require a FW release.

Me too, but wouldn't they have to release another firmware to prevent people from using it? They've never had the PSN down to publish a new firmware, have they?

Unless they need to change something with the PSN stop people with the jigkick connecting to it?

maybe they just want to observe and gather data first before going for the strike (banhammer). and this maintenance is to deploy some kind of psn monitoring stuff on their side.

or maybe its just a regular maintenance too :D
 
Ahh, so I wasn't the only one having problems. I thought I'd been banned or something when it wouldn't let me sign in :lol. How long does downtime like this normally last?
