PSN will receive 'essential maintenance work' today

by Alan Tsang on Oct 14th 2008 10:10AM

Our beloved PLAYSTATION Network will down today for five hours for some "essential maintenance work" during the following time: 2PM - 7PM EST / 11AM - 4PM PST. This downtime applies to both the US and Europe. So what are you going to do during those five long, agonizing hours? Come read PS3Fanboy, of course!

I'm gonna assume patch 2.5 will follow after this.

It's obvious this is to add the little "redeem Card" button to the store. And we will get the update 2.50 tomorrow.

Super Mario's wife is working on the PSN?

LOL. Wonder what she thinks of peach.

apparently network maintanence requires a monkey wrench and.. a candy cane, a level, or is that a sander?

I think she's building a pipe... Like the mushroom kingdom needs any more of those.

well im not worried maybe sony is doin somethin for Home? who knows

loool unfortunatelly the last few hours there were not so many news here... ;-p

I will stop working and go home to eat something... between 2PM and 7PM i'm never with the PS3 online XD

by the way: I WANT TROPHY'S FOR GTAIV!!! =)

These timeframes are confusing as hell. Which would apply to someone in Chicago? Why are they using both Eastern and Pacific times? Can someone simplify for me?

because not everybody is living in the USA??? Ever heard of europe??? ......

you're kidding right? you just add or subtract hours depending on your location. look it up. they're not going to post every time cuz you can't do simple math.

Chicago...my kind of town.

Chicago is CST, which is one hour behind eastern time. So for you, PSN will be down from 1pm-6pm.

Sorry to hear about your lack of education, btw.

It is confusing isnt it... almost as confusing as deal or no deal. that show gives me migraines its so hard to figure out!!

I'm surprised you're able to push buttons on your PS3 controller

hahah...man, you guys are cold.

Back off guys, no body exels in every single thing they study while in school. Some may excel in Maths & absolutely have no interest in Music or Science.

Just because someone has a hard time with a once in a blue moon subject such as time zones, doesn't mean they're idiots.

I bet most of you didn't even know what the hell you were talking about until you googled it up. Psht.

Give him a break.

They can't quote GMT, as most Americans

a) don't even know what it is, they just know Pacific, Mountain, Mid and East.

b) are too thick to work it out anyway.

Give the guy a break will you.

hey digdug, it's central time, aight?! midwest represent!

and yes, i know how to tell time. sorry, borgdronez..

I'm guessing this is to implement FW 2.50 as it adds features for the official headset which comes out today with SOCOM. However, they chose some pretty poor hours to do it.

There is not enough interesting material to read on ps3fanboy.com that would satisfy for 30 min let alone 5 hours!

Your crazy. There's alot of stuff. And hell if you're bored with ps3fanboy go to xbox360fanboy. And if you get bored there then you're just not a gamer ;]

Yeah ps3fanboy.com doesn't most enough for us to read for 5 hours.

I'll spend my time with the onscreen PS3 keyboard building bookmarks in the browser for 'select' sites that I'll be able to now visit with Flash 9 support.

Are you serious and if so how?

Flash 9??

Really???

I need proof.......lol

wow they announced flash 9, kspraydad shoots and scores, nothin' but net

oooooh I see now............

SWEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEET

Im still confused. 12-5pm central or 1-6pm Central?

ThePlake0815: Those are both US timezones. That is why I am confused.

Mr. Joe: the math isn't the problem asshole. The problem is that those are two distinctly different time frames in two US timezones. Go troll somewhere else.

dude, now you're just making an idiot of yourself. if you still can't figure it out, just try and sign on the psn; if it doesn't work, it's at that time! then go do something else!

Wow... just wow...

I don't blame the education system as much as I blame Borg's parents. People are licensed to drive a car but any set of idiots can have a kid.

Dude..

Dude, they might be two different time zones, but it's the exact same time. 2pm on the east coast = 11am on the west coast.

I thought basic understanding of how time zones work was taught in school. I still remember it from my 4th period geography class with Ms. White!

Woah, my 4th grade teacher was named Mrs. White too!

you're really going to call me a troll? i was only laughing at your inability to comprehend the depth of time zones.

it's like we're all here, man.. but at like.. different times. heh heh.

seriously though, it's better to google or wiki stuff before asking such bold questions from a fanboy site.

I agree this is a very bad time to do this, since most people will be picking up Socom today heading home from work/school. Beside that, Now is the best time to be a PS3 owner with all the great games coming out. Ladies and gentlemen, LET THE GAMES BEGIN!

nobody will be picking up socom today. it only SHIPS today but wont be available on the shelf till tommorrow.. yeah i know it sucks....

Can someone do the UK time conversion please? My brain hurts being at work :P

Its already Halloween in the UK and you guys have the PS4.

lmfao @ Eric E

lol

well ill be watching.movies& my kid ..20 years later. all hail the PS3 ...

Well, I will be jumping on xbox360.
peace!

and what time would that be GMT? GMT being the time that every timezone in the world is based on... therefore being the only logical timezone to mention. America isn't the center of the world you know... (Offically Greenwich, London is lol)

Rant over... sorry!!!

Yeah, GMT rules. England had a massive empire... and discovered America. Don't you dare ignore us. heh.

So if you're in Europe, kiss any online action goodbye tonight. That's 7pm - 12am GMT.

They probably have to get the system ready to take on the patch tomorrow. Anyone who remembers the last big patch will know why they are doing it.
