Boo

There’s never been a better time for you to take the shrink wrap off that copy of Wuthering Heights and lose yourself in the (occasionally uncomfortable) love story of Heathcliff and Catherine. Sony has announced that the PlayStation Network’s pre-arranged maintenance period is set to run until the early hours of Saturday morning in...

Don't panic

You’ll have ample opportunity to build a snowman, learn to juggle, and trim your toenails today, as Sony has announced that it's extending the PlayStation Network's scheduled maintenance for a few more hours. The period – which had been set to run from 16:00PM to 04:00AM GMT in Europe, and from 08:00AM to 20:00PM PT in North America...

It's been a while

The PlayStation Network will take a short break for scheduled maintenance starting 15th October, platform holder Sony has announced. We daresay the offline time will be spent preparing for the upcoming PlayStation Store overhaul. During the allotted period – scheduled to take place from 13:00PM BST through until 02:00AM BST the...

Pass the scalpel

Maintenance watch

PlayStation Network maintenance periods are always given plenty of publicity around the web, but we rarely find it interrupts our playing schedule.

Be known, valued reader, that some facets of the PlayStation Store will be unavailable this coming Thursday, February 2nd

As usual, the whole "scheduled maintenance" notice seems a bit overboard — as we've never had a problem connecting and playing games online during these periods of "supposed downtime". But it's still worth...

It's been a while since we posted about PlayStation Network maintenance; the Christmas break has clearly been kind to your gaming time

But Christmas is like a distant memory now, and so it's only appropriate that Sony's regular maintenance should return. The platform holder's issued a notice of warning on the official PlayStation forums, noting that certain services will be unavailable from 16:00PM..

It's been a while

Almost, what, two weeks since the last wave of PlayStation Network maintenance. But we were never going to get away with it for too long. And sure enough, Sony has announced that the PlayStation Network will go offline overnight while the platform holder tweaks a few knobs and does, erm, general maintenance stuff. The maintenance is set to run between 02:00 and 08:00AM UK time on..

We're getting to the point where we can only imagine Sony has something brewing

That's what we'd like to believe. Because the amount of maintenance the PlayStation Network's getting lately has been pretty bizarre. It's not like this is a common thing. We remember in the 'olden' days, the PSN would get scheduled maintenance once a month at most. Sometimes once a quarter. Now it's twice a week. To be..
