PSN Down for 8 Hours Today

GazD · 24 Jun 2008 at 15:11

Just seen this on the IW forums. Apparently the whole of the PSN will be down, so no access to PSN Store and no online gaming. I think this is 4pm till 12am GMT, can someone confirm this?

The PLAYSTATION®Network will be taken offline during the following times for a scheduled maintenance:

Starting on June 24, 2008, at 8:00 a.m., Pacific Time
Ending on June 24, 2008, at 2:00 p.m., Pacific Time

During this time, access to the PLAYSTATION Network will be restricted, including:

* No access to the PLAYSTATION®Store
* No access to play online games on the PLAYSTATION Network

They have certainly picked a good time to bring the network down.

People finishing work, kids back from school etc.

eh? i thought the time was longer for EU?

EDIT: Apparently not. Just reading that link again. 6 hours is right.

GazD · 24 Jun 2008 at 15:41

Indeed the link is 6hours, I basically copied the post on the IW forums indicating an 8 Hour downtime. Even so 6 hours is long enough at that peak time.

Logsi · 24 Jun 2008 at 15:43

And unfortunately this downtime means nothing. Just a routine maintenance.

Bring us something good sony! A surprise 2.40 update would be awesome!

Thats what I thought at first, but I'm sure I'm just clutching at straws. O well time to carry on my master league on the PC.

Joystiq have said that they contacted Sony about it and that they said it was a routine maintenance and nothing to do with the 2.40 mega woopah update.

Shame

Rumours circulating the tinterweb are that 2.40 maybe launched sometime next week.

TheStig1 · 24 Jun 2008 at 15:58

would anyone notice? if not posted here?
i went on golf last night
3 people playing

GazD · 24 Jun 2008 at 16:00

I was on COD4 last nite and the lobbies were always full?

andshrew · 24 Jun 2008 at 16:00

Is it not just for the US only then? Thought they did maintance seperately.

And if 2.40 does launch next week it will probably be a Tuesday morning since thats when they normally come out.

Streeteh · 24 Jun 2008 at 16:01

They're probably preparing for 2.40, doesn't mean they'll be launching it just yet though.

Logsi · 24 Jun 2008 at 16:21

When's the update start then. I thought it was at 4?

Josh

EDIT - PS store is down for me but i can still log into PSN.

Psypher5 · 24 Jun 2008 at 17:32

everybodys golf is still up :/

CliffyBiro · 24 Jun 2008 at 17:33

Is it down? Might pop on Resistance for a while.

Inazuma · 24 Jun 2008 at 17:38

We will have to make up for lost time with a mega MGO game at 10pm!
