The PlayStation Network's going to be undergoing some scheduled maintenance next week, Sony has announced. Starting at 04:30AM BST and 20:30PM PST on Tuesday the 18th August - or Monday the 17th August for you Americans - it's unlikely to disrupt many users in our neck of the woods, although we can't say the same for our readers across the pond. The maintenance will last around 90 minutes.

As always, though, the whole network won't be down for this period - some services will simply be taken offline. In this case, you won't be able to access account management, PlayStation Video, or the PlayStation Store, so make sure that you've got all of your business in order beforehand.

Does this maintenance have any effect on your plans? Do some panic buying in the comments section below.
