PSN is down!

[Maikel Steneker]

Judging from the reactions here many people didn't know this was scheduled. Sony should announce stuff like this earlier.

If they make the PSN+ thingy... i will most likely buy it.... extra features are always good

 

[giratina16]

Hmm my download speed is fine, it takes about 5-10 minutes to download stuff from PSN for me. When it's a firmware update it take like 20-30 minutes though which is just too long.

 

[Elritha]

Parts of it are back up for me. I'm able to sign in now, but the Playstation Store isn't working.

 

[luke_c]

Well there's still another 5-6 hours scheduled before it goes back up, and if you can get on now, you won't be able to access account management or the store etc.

 

[monkat]

Oh, god! It's February all over again! Gotta go stop a moon from falling...

 

[Thoob]

Yeah, I'm able to sign in now but I haven't tried anything else... my parents will rage if I start playing CoD at 10.30pm on a school night!

 

[BlackDave]

Lol I don't even go on PS Store... unless FFIX is out

 

[iFish]

Yeah, i can get on PSN.. sign in and shit...

But the store says it not available in my region.

 

[Raikiri]

FFIX is out.. at least in the EU PSN store

so it'll probably be in the US one as well

and i dont have any problems with downloading speeds either... its a little slower then my pc downloads but regular demo's (1~2GB-ish) take somewhere like 10 minutes or so.. weird that so much people have slow download speeds

 

[Costello]

probably getting ready for some E3 stuff like new channels for coverage and all ?

 

[shakirmoledina]

i guess the developer would say perfective maintanence... good to know
or possibly a problem with the transfer handling ie. load handling and redirection (fancy words)
most as ppl said, maximize real internet bandwidth

 

[ProtoKun7]

Well, that sucks. But it's not like I'd use it anyway, since I only have a hacked PSP and PSN is blocked on it

(And before you ask, yes, I know about those PSN Enablers, but I'm too lazy to install one

)

Same here.

And my guess is that it's probably either including some updates/blocks, or perhaps it was just unexpected downtime.
