If you try and log into the PlayStation Network today and get an error message don’t be alarmed – the PSN hasn’t been hacked again, it’s just undergoing maintenance.
The PlayStation Network is expected to be down around 4:00PM to 3:00AM in the UK.
“During this time, registration and Account Management will be inaccessible, including the password reset process. While some users may experience difficulty signing into PSN and the PlayStation Store, the majority of users will be able to play online as well as sign in to external sites that require PSN authentication (like this one).” Sony posted on their blog.
So while you should still be able to sign into the PlayStation Network you don’t have to sound the alarm if you can’t. In the words of Corporal Jones “Don’t panic!”
