PSN to experience 'scheduled maintenance' on April 14

by Andrew Yoon on Apr 13th 2008 2:20PM

From 8AM-11PM PST on April 14th, the PLAYSTATION Network will be down for "scheduled maintenance." According to the US PlayStation Support site, the Store will be completely inaccessible as Sony makes the background changes necessary to accommodate the Store redesign. Once the downtime is over, a new firmware update will be available for all to download.

It's unclear whether or not online gaming and friends lists will be affected by this maintenance. Don't be surprised if you won't be able to enjoy a bout of Warhawk or Call of Duty 4 while Sony does their magic.

What times that in the UK? plus are we getting MGS4 beta with the update?

Pacific Standard Time (PST) is around five hours behind British Summer Time (BST)

So i would guess at about 1PM to around 4am

If I'm not mistaken, Britan is 5 hours ahead of the East coast. So you should be 8hrs ahead of PST. I think you are looking at 4pm-7pm your time. I'm EST so I'm looking at 11am to 2pm EST.

If you live on the east coast (EST), you are looking at downtime between the hours of 11:00 AM to 2:00 AM...not 2:00 PM like Nick said.

PSN back online 06:00 Tuesday April 15, 2008 in GMT

normally i hate downtimes but this one hopefully seems worth it.

well that sucks if online gaming is taken sown also. thats when my family is finally leaving and i can actually play some warhawk lol. its cool though will be playing plenty once the new booster comes out

The downtime sucks... but it will definitely be worth it

so sweet downtime...
i can't imagine how i will wait in the Home downtime...
:)

On my birthday:) Woho:P

Well I can't wait until Sony is finished with this new update because the new PS Store is going to be great.

when does the mgs online beta start?

Taken directly from the Beta pamphlet...

Download Available:
April 17th to May 5th 2008

Gameplay Available:
April 21st to May 5th 2008

Quoted directly from the source article...
"It is not anticipated that this will affect other PLAYSTATION Network services"

While theres a possibility of some disruption, I wouldn't could on a long complete service blackout.

Exactly.

nice... warhawks still on then

Downtime?!? I demand a refund!

yea im with you on that. how is the redesign of the store "worth it"
cross game chat, now thats "worth it"
adding stuff to the store i actually want. I dont own GH or RB so i feel like the store isnt for me

Refund for what? PSN is free. Unlike OTHER services...

@meximan

he was jokin around lol. just makin fun of 360

I think he was kidding.

hey man....Don't complain...When WoW went off for 13 hours on April first alot of people did not get their fix. They went into shock and different liquids came out of their mouths. I am happy enough that it will only last 3 hours.

its goin to be down for 14 hours not 3. 8AM to 11PM

This is how the world will end... when the internet dies

WHAT, 14 hours..... if the psn store is down for 14 hours fine who cares nothing good on there anyway but if cod4 is down for 14 hours im gonna be pissed !!!!

8am to 11pm is 15 hours not 14 you dorks

why can't we play on the 17th :P, i cant sit there looking at the frikin menu untill the servers come up :)

I'm wondering--has anyone confirmed that games online (WarHawk, CoD4, etc.) are working, or are not? I'm not by my PS3 but I'm just wondering..

They are not working, I can confirm this... I just tried to sign in and play COD4.

COD4 is working. I just played.

which one is it damn it? is COD4 online working or not?

It is. It has been working all day.

Thanks Dan preciate it, almost scared me there lol... im at work so i wont know till i get home and i dont like surprizes... i guess that downtime wont effect COD4 or is it over with already?

Weird that the playstation blog is down as well. what are they doing over there?
