Sony's Got A Day Of Maintenance Planned For This Bank Holiday Monday.

If you're unfamiliar with the bank holiday concept, it is when people have an added day-off. Three-day weekend, huzzah! Perfect for some time spent curled up in front of the PS3 right? Wrong — Sony's got PSN maintenance planned for the whole day. That's 8:00AM-9:00PM.

During this period, the PlayStation Store, PlayStation Home and Account Management will be locked out. Thankfully you will still be able to play games online, so if you were planning on a day in front of Modern Warfare 2, you should be unaffected.

SCEE says that Sony Japan schedules the maintenance times. The bank holiday is just a sad coincidence.
