PSA: PSN is down for maintenance [update]

Oh hey, were you about to jump on the PlayStation Network for a quick round of gaming on your lunch break? Actually, we can answer that for you: you weren't, even if you thought you were, because PSN is currently unavailable.

Trying to log in brings up the message "Site Maintenance Notice: The server is currently down for maintenance. We apologize for the inconvenience. Please try again later." We'll do our best to find out when a good time to try again will be, but in the meantime you're on your own. Perhaps you could get some laundry done, or find a new sandwich recipe.

Update: A Sony rep tells us that "this maintenance should be completed by 1pm Pacific."

[Thanks, Matt!]
