LittleBigPlanet servers down until 5pm GMT

Sony has revealed, via ThreeSpeech, that the LittleBigPlanet online servers will be undergoing "essential maintenance" until 5pm GMT. That's midday Eastern and 9am Pacific, for all you Americans out there. Sounds like new servers are being installed to spread the weight of this week's European release. Hopefully this will be the last of the jiggery pokery necessary to get the online portion up to scratch. With the first batch of LittleBigPlanet DLC arriving today, we're looking forward to the new servers getting switched on so we can show off our new threads.
