PlayStation Network maintenance extended

Today’s scheduled 12 hour maintenance window for the PlayStation Network has been extended, Sony has announced via Twitter. The announcement mentions the downtime has been extended “to tomorrow morning”, and as it was supposed to end at 8:00 PM PT, that suggests we’re looking at an additional four hours at the very least. Updates are promised when available. If you signed into the PSN any time in the last few days, you should still be able to play online while Sony tinkers, although some network features will be unavailable.

Holy crap Sony…who is your scheduler?

DO THIS CRAP on a late Sunday night into Monday or Monday into Tuesday! You pick one of the busier gaming nights to update AGAIN?

Thursday, Friday and Sat and then early Sunday are the biggest gaming nights. Why you choose one of them continually baffles me.

NEW update: won’t be back until Friday 18th at 11am.

Also, you told us as long a we signed in before this “update”, we would be able to game and that only the store and account info would be inaccessible….bull. No one I know can get in and we are always logged in for the most part! Grrrr….

i was logged in yesterday about 30 mins before the maintenance started and now i can get on. sony are a joke. the maintenance make no difference. it takes them 12 hours+ and they will probably change something that doesnt affect its users

I don’t care. It’s just like bad weather. I can’t go to the park today, I’ll read a book instead. I can’t play multiplayer Borderlands 2, so I’ll play single-player Far Cry 3 instead.

I was in the middle of a game on Madden 13 ahead 28 to 0 when it went down yesterday. It just cut off without warning, which really sucks because I have been trying to best that damn GOAT game for about 10 tries. I know it is a coincidence that I had 3 amazing strokes of good luck followed by the buzz kill, but man does that suck that not only that, but even 12 hours later I still cannot get on psn :(

I was terribly serious concerning my earnings. it had been 900$ per month. Then I detected of my friend’s brother,
WHO earns over k bucks at intervals per week. currently as he told Pine Tree State concerning this,
i’m currently ready to earn 3000$ per month with merely exploitation my laptop computer for
two to three hours on a daily basis. See this-+-+-+ bit40.cøm -+-+-+

Indeed.

You get what you pay for. (Alas, in Sony’s case you get the same but you pay for an overpriced brand name)

I just can’t decide whether it’s the broken Samsung firmware or Sony’s latest products I should loathe more.

There’s this useful Username string, to the right from the comment number.

PSN is shit, this is a fact of life, not a troll.

You’ve answered your own question already in #29.

Sony123456 has made about as many comments today as two socially deprived persons would struggle to.

@31 He’s actually fond of Microsoft. So fond of, that he blindly bashes everything that stands in his precious company’s way. I’d love to know how this hatred towards Sony was born. His girlfriend left him after he spent too much time playing on his PS3 and now he seeks revenge?

I feel like we’re already paying him too much attention, but it would be really nice if he would enlighten us on this matter, and stop poison every thread related to Sony. It’s getting quite annoying to be unable to scroll through comments without one of his killing your mood.

How come they can’t just give us exact time when the network will be available? If it’s 7 days just say 7 days instead of thousands of people sitting infront of ps3 and keep trying to log in LOL.
