PlayStation Network Temporary Unscheduled Maintenance

As some of you may have noticed, we've temporarily taken down some functions of PlayStation Network - specifically access to the PlayStation Store, account management and registration. Online gameplay will remain uninterrupted. We thank you for your patience and will report back here as soon as the Store and registration functions are back online.

Hmm..i wonder what that's all about..

[Hagaf22]

i dont know but its holding up my r2 beta download... lol, they better hurry, could it be home? could it be??? not likely, no one out there hold your breath please, dont want any one dying over home.

[Overr8ed]

I feel you pain Hagaf.
I think its more for fast downloads via PS store. (or thsts is what i hope for)

[meepmoopmeep]

LBP avatars for PSN

:)

[UNCyrus]

sry guys... It was me... I HaXXoR'd teh PSN~!

[unitalfredo]

probbaly some thing big is coming with this ps store update?????

[Hagaf22]

yeah its call SOCOM!!! :D

[pwnsause]

SOCOM was out yesterday in the store.

[orakga]

With the 100,000-ish download requests for that X-gigabyte beta... This is yet another reason why digital distribution is still a good few years away from becoming the norm. (unless you follow STEAM's idea of "pre-downloading" a game before a release date then "unlocking" the file after the official release date)

Either way, it sounds like I'll have to continue playing Dead Space tonight. Those space zombies are hella scary/cool.

[DasBunker]

hope they surprise us with a huge psn store update..

[Amnesiac]

My ps3 just got shipped back from repair land...I WANNA PLAY!!!!!!!1

[El_Colombiano]

What the hell did you to to it?! Those things are like Tanks!

[Pain]

me not GIVING A SH!T!!!

[Blackmoses]

everybody hear about the Killzone 2 beta? there will be a killzone 2 theme to download that gets you on the list if downloaded. None the less this is rather strange...right when the store is to update.

-black

[LevDog]

Secret Home release??? Ok Ok I know it wont be.. I like the lil fixes they always do.. Something has to be coming out.. HMMM

[STEVIE_]

Are you coming out?? :D

Sorry, couldn't resist.

[Zip]

lol I definaly doubt it would be a secret home release lol

[SIX]

I just want to start downloading my R2 beta. Gonna be so good!!!

[Brawler]

ya i wonder what it could be

[air1]

did sony get the socom memo yet?

dedicated servers lmfao...

[Xlll]

Air you bots shouldnt be talking about servers while you pay for P2P loser

[El_Colombiano]

Whoa, what? Whoa. You would rather a 5 vs 5 laggy match than a 256 person war with zero lag? Amazing!

[ZombieNinjaPanda]

Told all you guys in the R2 Beta one :D

Anyway, they say it will be over soon, so just wait it out I guess.

Me on the other hand, I'll be workin on my essays :(

[rajman]

"Online gameplay will remain uninterrupted" welll Warhawk isnt working so I guess it has been interrupted

[Crazywhitie]

don't get mad at them hey it's Free..
Every PS3 Beta has Hiccups.. LOL R2 has started early... I Still haven't gotten my beta key... what about Qore People??? I also did the Web site thing.. about a week ago I got an email stating this was about to happen and still know Code Hmm...

[ReTarDedFisHy]

I wanted to download the freakin' Killzone 2 theme so I could get registered into the beta HOURS ago! >:O

[jerethdagryphon]

chances are a hdd crashed and there trying to fix it

unscedualed means unespexed or sugar something went tits up

[CoBrAbOy]

What? ^

[Wolverick]

Unscheduled means they didn't plan it which is probably due to some type of hardware failure. HDD was my first guess as well.

[Gish]

Chances are slim that a HDD crashing caused this outage. Clustering and fail over servers ensure of this. If SCEA is running PS Store without disaster recovery, I have a ton of things to sell them (i am an IT solution provider :) )

[Xlll]

This has to do with R2 public beta being posted up for download. I got my email today.

[cyclindk]

It's probably just a Killzone 2 public beta launch or another LBP beta or something awesome like that...no biggy!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[air1]

so what? 50 bucks a year isnt going to break me i have a job..

every ps3 game at launch cant be played online out the box look what happened to mgs4 lol.. patchity patch patch..

you broke as$ sony fanatics. cry foul when the free sh!ty psn dont work but dont want to pay..

free free free.

p2p works psn doesnt lol

[PirateThom]

Think about what you've said.

You like paying money for p2p, which is basically hosting games on your own hardware.

You're paying to host games on your own hardware (which you paid for), using games (which you paid for), using your own bandwidth (which you paid for), something PS3 can do anyway for free.

And no one cried foul, if you'd read.

[Xlll]

Air you are b3yond retarded. Tom pretty much summed up anything i had to say. As far as socom goes its working just fine now. Like all big online games it gets flooded with more ppl the expected. Just like CoD4 did. Thing is its fixed now, lag is gone and it didnt take weeks like Live does went that service u paided for goes down. Pretty funny how PSN which is free response to issues and resolves them quickly unlike your lag heavy live.

[Zip]

this is getting annoying, I want to download the new motorstorm PA demo

[sandip787]

lol calm down with the conspiracy theories, its probably nothing.

[Vip3r]

I think this might have been because of a money glitch where people got free credit. But then again it could be something else.

[PSWe60]

probably has something to do with R2 beta and/or HOME. Instead of having one big ass download they're probably cuting up into smaller chunks so that when HOME is ready it won't take as long downloading it. Just a guess though.

[dagreylion]

My guess it has something to do with the R2 Beta. Hopefully its fixed soon.

[Gish]

BUT!!!! anyone that has high velocity bowling, the update is UP! I am passing time throwing a ball online. With a beer of course.

[Zip]

im getting inpatient here ....!

[air1]

thought about it,

yup, i pay for it.. its like i said 50 bucks for a frikin year isnt much.

ps3 cant do it right now for socom now can it.. psn can only do it after patches.

just cause its free doesnt make it better. could you imagine if they did charge? to only play half the time lol. networks always have problems, but damn psn has problems with every new game.

EDIT

live laggy? seriously, were do you ppl get your info from? why dont you get last months gamepro, egm, gi, play they all say live trumps psn so deal with it..

psn down less than live? wtf? so mgs4 tourney being cancled now socom and many other games that didnt work at launch isnt down time? you sony fanatics just love to over look sony fvck up.

games dont cost 50 bucks its 60 plus tax. its for a whole year you know 12 months. so it was easy for you to pay 600 bucks on a console that at launch had no great games but wana b!tch about 50 bucks all because sony's is free but has problems with all new games.

[PirateThom]

It's the price of a new game. Which is more than it needs to be, considering it's P2P.

The problem with this is that it's free and in the entire time it's been around, it's gone down less than Live. This is the first time I can recall there's been unschedualled maintainence.

I'm able to get better online play with PSN than I am with Live. Live is laggier, by far. So, I'm happy enough to use the free service.

[xtreampro_REVENGE]

anything thats made by humans needs maintanence, its not a patch, if it was it would ask us to update again you IDIOT!, and paying for a service that breaks down aint good now is it?, PSN works realy good, the XBL works good as well, the only difference is features, one has better features then others, and personally i think PSN takes the win

[xtreampro_REVENGE]

actually if you think about it, by the end of YOUR 360's life you would have payed about 800,000 for the 360 or even a million, so baisiclly you payed 800,000 for a console that uses DVD9 as storage and its not even full HD hence why its got an upscaler chip inside it, YEAH! i've seen that upscaler chip inside the 360, its no SECRET OK! dont try to hide it!

[DARKDRAGON254]

Between the normal update, Socom being released on PSN, and everyone trying to download the resistance beta....I believe the are trying to prevent a clusterf**k...just my thoughts

[slymaddox]

It is because there was a exploit that allowed you to get a free credit onto your account.

[SickNick85]

I Hope into a Home release for tomorrow

[rajman]

Yayy its back up...but nothing new =(

[[email protected]]

lol... ar least I'm download it the Motorstorm 2 demo from the European store. This unschedule its hold up my Resistance 2 Public Beta redeem code lol ^^

[BLow]

It's back up now..at least for me. 6:52 eastern time

[Gish]

its up if you consider looking at your wallpaper instead of the store screen an impovement

[Zip]

I live in Denmark, and its "up" however it freezes, and the it comes with the error and log you off the store again

[HairyBrownSack]

did u expect something different from a free "service"?

[Gish]

Actually now it is up. Just downloaded linger.

[na2ru1]

thanks 4 the post

[na2ru1]

warhawk hdd version didnt start up either

thanks 4 the post

[shawnsl65]

what the hell is up with all the xbox fanboys doing on a psn thread.. gdamn lowlives. And what's this imaginary lag which xbox boys are speaking of? i don't feel any lag on the ps3 what so ever. i own both xbox360 and ps3 and am not a fanboy of neither. get on your system and just shut your mouth if you haven't experience what the other system can provide.
