PlayStation Network Maintenance

We suppose that we should give Sony credit for delaying the PlayStation Network’s previously planned maintenance after Sunday’s outage – even if it was only for a few days. The platform holder has announced that Monday’s postponed preservation period will now take place later today in both Europe and North America, starting from 16:00PM BST in the former territory and 09:40AM EDT in the latter.

As is always the case, Account Management and the PlayStation Store will be unavailable, but as long as you’ve logged in to the PlayStation Network recently, you should be able to play online without a hitch. Not the end of the world, then, but we don’t think that these regular maintenance periods send out the best message about the stability of the Japanese giant’s servers – especially considering the recent downtime.
