PlayStation Network is offline for scheduled maintenance from 16:00 on Tuesday 21 September 2010 until 02:00 on Wednesday 22 September 2010, BST.

During the maintenance, you will be unable to access the following services:

* PlayStation Store on PS3, PSP and PC.
* PlayStation Network Account Management.
* PlayStation Network Account Registration.

In addition, you will not be able to sign in to PlayStation Network from eu.playstation.com. If you wish to play online during the maintenance, please ensure you sign in to PSN before 16:00 on Tuesday 21 September 2010.

During this maintenance, you can continue to collect in-game trophies and these will be updated on your profile once PlayStation Network is back up and running.

If you have any questions about this down time, feel free to visit the official PlayStation Forums where you can post your query and a member of the moderation team will get back to you.

For the latest maintenance updates, visit the PlayStation Blog, keep an eye on our Facebook page and follow us on Twitter.

Was on the PSN blog on Monday.

Thanks mate!!

So should I be able to sign in at present or not? I get an invalid username password message on both my accounts. I think in the past you actually get a message that says "PSN is down for maintenance" or words to that effect.

confused.

pingwing · 21 Sep 2010 at 18:32

Yep no psn

FlukeRogi · 21 Sep 2010 at 18:36

You'd think they'd actually let you know this via the PS3 itself before it happens.

DannyW · 21 Sep 2010 at 18:50

Mines down too, I thought i'd been hacked until i tryed to get onto the psn homepage

Bossy papa · 21 Sep 2010 at 19:07

thats ok then , 360 can now have a bit off attention

TheHitMan-1973 · 21 Sep 2010 at 19:25

When is network back up ? any ideas :mad:

C64 · 21 Sep 2010 at 19:37

Why on earth would they choose to do this in peak usage time ? they should have the down time 2am to 12pm not 4pm to 2am.

rp2000 · 21 Sep 2010 at 19:41

I don't mind the downtime, but the misleading error message is likely to confuse people, especially after most people have probably only just installed 3.5

i tried to remember and retype my password about 10 times:/

thought i was going mad. 'to the internetz!'

wozza2k · 21 Sep 2010 at 20:05

It filled me with rage for a moment, coming straight after an update.

V4nger · 21 Sep 2010 at 20:58

I just raged a little as I can't remember my password and the password recovery isn't working. Then I realised. I've calmed down a bit now. RDR instead of BC2 tonight then

wozza2k · 21 Sep 2010 at 21:40

someone on my fb said its back up now, anyone else to confirm?

I don't know where the most PSN users are but I will bet that it will be the US and they are a Japanese company so won't want to affect people in their home territory. So the timing they have chosen will not affect the US too much and won't hurt Japan at all.
