PSN goes down tonight for a few hours

Sony has confirmed that PSN will be going down later today (14th October) for around five hours .The scheduled downtime is at 8pm (BST) til 1am tomorrow (October 15th). You will not be able to access the PS Store or play online during this time.

Like always, Sony has not said what exactly the downtime is for, just stating it is supposed to be for “essential maintenance work.” It could have something to do with the upcoming new firmware release, or maybe even the release of LittleBigPlanet.

The last time PSN went down was to make a few behind the scenes alterations for a change in the layout in the PS Store.
