PSN Goes Down For Maintenance Again

In what’s hopefully just a blip, it appears that for some, the PlayStation Network has gone back down for ‘maintenance’ again, with that message that we’ve all been used to seeing for weeks.

Earlier today the PSN stirred back into life, bolstered by a new firmware, and this evening here in the UK we were back in business, changing passwords and signing in online.

Apparently, if you sign out, you cant sign back in, so whatever you do, don't sign out if you want a few more hours out of multiplayer before you got to go to bed or your PS3 automatically turns off.

+ You better pray you don't D/C ;P

How do I know? A bunch of my twitter followers just told me the same thing each. o.O

So yeah. That's the way it goes im afraid. So DONT LOG OUT. (And no. That wasn't backwards phsycology to tell you to log out... im actually telling you to stay logged in- OH NEVER MIND. Im confusing myself :/)

leogets4722d ago

tell me abut it. i was playin bfbc2 then decided to sign out to change other passwords on my main account and other accounts. then blop.under maintance sign. lol.. jokers mate

iamnsuperman4722d ago

I am still waiting to change my password and it wouldn't let me do it on the PS3 so I am expecting an email from Sony. Not sure how long that will take..

OT: Thought this might happen some time (lots of people trying to get on and bringing the rest of the system online). Probably back in a few hours max.

iamnsuperman4721d ago

Yep. I am checking my junk and inbox like every two minutes or so. I might need to call the up if it takes any longer

Black-Helghast4722d ago

Goddamn... I was in the middle of a Killzone 3 game and my internet went down for a second, guess who can't play Killzone 3 online anymore?...

WildArmed4722d ago

lol same.
I couldn't connect to Kz3 servers, so i was like.. maybe I should restart my internet?
Guess what, now I can't even sign in.

Thank you SONY!

paintsville4721d ago

Down again? I'm not surprised.

xAlmostPro4722d ago (Edited 4722d ago )

It lets me sign back in however i cant connect to any online game servers.

I have a feeling it may be a surge in high traffic though. The websites going slow. and some people are still managing to get back in and online.

n4gisatroll4722d ago

This must be a uk thing only because in Cali I've been signing on and off all the time.

norman294722d ago

Well im in the UK and just signed out and back in again to test it, nothing wrong with it.

Ares844722d ago

I signed in last night. Turn off the PS3. Signed in this morning than turned of the PS3 because we went to the cinema. Than just got home and it signed in again.

I think it's just a few people are that affected. I see some people on my friends list signing off and than back on.

I'm in NYC by the way.

Dee_914721d ago

ikkeweer4722d ago (Edited 4722d ago )

Istanbull4722d ago

I'm from Europe and our PSN just went online now. So I can't take this article serious.

guigsy4722d ago

It clearly says "FOR SOME".

ikkeweer4722d ago

guess I'm part of "some"
I had PSN back for 40 minutes, then it was more maintenance. Europe here, not US

pody4722d ago (Edited 4722d ago )

Wow, perdie! Did you seriously get a scar for that? That's some supernatural shit.

Playstation 3. It only does scarring!

Emilio_Estevez4722d ago

Sucks, I'm having this problem in NY. A friend also in NY is too.

MysticStrummer4722d ago

I'm in N TX. I don't have a problem signing in and out of PSN but I am getting kicked from SOCOM 4 matches. "Losing connection to game universe" O.o

Emilio_Estevez4722d ago

Love the disagrees for stating a fact

Dart894722d ago

Oh come on they're using new servers we should all have expected this give it time.

Tales Of Graces Ƒ Retro Review – Holding Out For a Hero

Gary Green said: Namco Bandai heard the call of many fans asking for the PlayStation release of Tales of Graces which was originally released seemingly exclusively for the Wii back in 2009. If you’re acquainted with the Tales series then Graces f won’t be something entirely new to you, yet if you’re a newcomer then you’ll find a plethora of gameplay mechanics and nuances that distinguish this series from other JRPGs. While the game finds itself following the traditional archetype of JRPGs, such as a somewhat clichéd story, Graces has something to offer to both veterans and newcomers alike.

Odd this and the xillia games still haven't gotten remasters yet.

It's A Crime That There's No Sleeping Dogs 2 Yet

Huzaifah from eXputer: "Sleeping Dogs from the early 2010s is one of the best open-world games out there but in dire need of a resurgence."

LG_Fox_Brazil3d ago

I agree, I consider the first one a cult classic already

isarai3d ago

You say "yet" as if it's even possible anymore. United Front Games is gone, along with anyone that made this game what it is

CrimsonWing692d ago

That’s what happens when games sell poorly. And I’ve seen people wonder why people cry when a game sells badly… this is your answer.

solideagle2d ago

Majority of the time it's true but if a company/publisher is big (in terms of money), they can take a hit or 2. e.g. I am not worried about Rebirth sales as Square will make Remake 3 anyway but if FF 17 doesn't sell then Square might need to look for alternative. <-- my humble opinion

Abnor_Mal2d ago

Doesn’t Microsoft own the IP now since they acquired Activision?

DaReapa2d ago

No. Square Enix owns the IP.

Abnor_Mal2d ago

Oh okay, Activision owned True Crime, but when that didn’t sell as intended it was canceled. Six months later Square Enix bought the rights and changed the title to Sleeping Dogs.*

*As per Wikipedia

boing12d ago (Edited 2d ago )

Sleeping Dogs was a sleeper hit back then. It was fantastic. It actually still is. Would love a sequel to this, or at least a revive of True Crime series.
