Those that have signed in to PSN in the last few days or do so this weekend shouldn't be affected by the maintenance period and can play online Monday. PlayStation Home, the PlayStation Store and account management sections are off-limits, however.

PSN will be down in Europe on Monday from 6am until 9am GMT - that's 1am until 4am Eastern, in case you're one of those Europeans who keeps time that way. No judgment!

During the outage, the PlayStation Store and online account management settings on the PlayStation 3 and PSP will be inaccessible. The Vita, strangely, was not listed in the maintenance notice. The downtime should have no affect on your Trophy-gathering - they'll be reflected on your profile when the network is restored - and you should have no problem getting your early-morning online gaming fix.

This Monday, October 15, from 4am PT/7am ET until 4pm PT/7am ET, PSN will experience some downtime.

If you've logged into PSN over the past few days or make some time to do so this weekend, you shouldn't be affected. That's not to say you'll have access to all of PSN, though - during the downtime, the PSN Store, PlayStation Home and Account Management sections of PSN will be unavailable.

The maintenance affects both North America and Europe. So, that's 11AM until 2AM Eastern and 16:00 until 07:00 Friday in the UK.

According to Sony, as long as you have signed in to PSN within five days prior to the maintenance, you will be able to play games online and use apps. If you haven't, you may receive a message saying "Playstation Network is undergoing maintenance."

The PlayStation Twitter will give the "all clear" when full functionality is restored.

As per usual, 13 hours chock full of network rejiggering are scheduled to begin tomorrow morning at 9 a.m. EST, during which time the PSN Store, PlayStation Home, Account Management services and online play will be unavailable.

PlayStation websites hosted on PSN servers, like the Official PlayStation Blog, will also be offline during maintenance. The official PlayStation Twitter account, however, will continue to function properly, since it's on Twitter and everything. Updates regarding maintenance can be found there, though extended periods of downtime are usually situations where no news is good news.

All users will be automatically signed out, and all PSN services (including online play, the PlayStation Store, PlayStation Home, Account Management and official websites like the PlayStation Blog) will all be offline and inaccesible. Thankfully, last Thursday's delay gave us time to prepare an Extended PSN Maintenance Survival Kit, which is essentially a Rainbow Brite lunchbox full of beef jerky and Harvey Birdman: Attorney At Law DVDs.

Carry on!

Original story:

The PlayStation Network will undergo "significant maintenance" on March 1 from 8AM until 10PM Pacific (that's 11AM to 1AM for those on the Atlantic; 16:00 to 06:00 in the UK).

Unlike the "regularly scheduled maintenance," the PSN will go completely dark, signing out anyone online for the duration of the maintenance.

There will be no access to the PlayStation Store, PlayStation Home, account services nor play online. The PlayStation Twitter is expected to give the clear when the maintenance is complete.

The regular maintenance is expected to run from 8AM-5PM Pacific (11AM-8PM Eastern; 4PM-2AM BST) and will prevent access to the PSN Store, Home, Account Management. Users "may encounter difficulty while signing in to PSN."

Due to the maintenance, Sony will have its regular PSN update today. Follow the PlayStation Twitter for updates tomorrow on when the network will return to normal operation.
