The PSN Is Undergoing Some Routine Maintenance Just Now. Sit Tight.

One worried PushSquare reader just sent us an email claiming Sony had "shut down" the Playstation Network, claiming that neither he nor his friends could log on.

Sony want you to know, "hey don't worry - we're doing a spot of maintenance". Those of you in Europe, like us, should be back up and running by now (we are) with Sony claiming:

The PlayStation Network is currently undergoing maintenance, which should last until 19:25 tonight. You will not be able to sign into the PlayStation Network during this time. However, if you are already signed into the PSN, either on any of our sites or on your PlayStation 3, you should remain signed in until you choose to sign out.

As for you American types, you should be fine too with the exception of the Playstation Store:

The PlayStation Store is down momentarily for maintenance. The rest of PlayStation Network (PlayStation Home, Friends Lists, Life With PlayStation, trophies, online gaming, etc) are up and running.

Everyone can relax now huh?
