UPDATE: aaaaaaaaand we’re back. I really expected that to take longer. We’ve now increased our server capacity, which will allow us to continue to grow and implement new features to the blog. We’ll let you know what they are when we roll them out.
In case you missed it last week, Capcom’s John D. broke the Blog. Steaming pile of wreckage, it was.
So today, we’re adding another server. Truthfully, we had planned to do that anyway. I think Mr. Diamonon wants to take credit – and since they’re adding Trophies to Bionic Commando: Rearmed, I’ll let him do so.
Either way, if you try to log on to the Blog from about 2-3pm (Pacific) today and it doesn’t work, it doesn’t mean your internet is broken. Necessarily.
Note: the PSN is unaffected by this maintenance window.

Good idea! Thanks for the heads up. Any word on when we should expect that BC:R patch? Even an estimate would be nice. Thanks Jeff. :-)
Jeff Rubenstein replied on June 23, 2009 at 2:14 pm
Let me ask John D.

No kidding, is it true about Firmware update 2.80?

12
EvoAnubis | June 23rd, 2009 at 2:11 pm
LOL…you know John; he lives to break the Blog. You guys are going to need servers worthy of the Batcave to stop him from doing it again.

Draicus | June 23rd, 2009 at 2:12 pm
Mmmm, server space.
Jeff Rubenstein replied on June 23, 2009 at 2:15 pm

CitizenInsane27 | June 23rd, 2009 at 2:18 pm
Thanks for the warning, even though it only took mere minutes to pull off. Now you have enough server space to handle 4000 comments!
In random tandem Jeff, you really should remember to give us a heads up on when those BC:R trophies are going up. I’d love to earn me some.

Not gonna be friend, stop wishing.

Firmware updates have nothing to do with the blog update. Unless Jeff and the gang pull a fast one on us.

TubaDude49 | June 23rd, 2009 at 2:19 pm

STMaraj | June 23rd, 2009 at 2:27 pm
Jeff, why didn’t you answer comment #6? You totally skipped it. That’s mean.

EvoAnubis | June 23rd, 2009 at 2:31 pm
Why should Jeff waste his time answering a question that Eric is going to address in a later post? Time management, kids; google it.

Anything especially exciting coming to the PS.Blog soon? Ponies perhaps?
33
joseph2411 | June 23rd, 2009 at 3:04 pm
Why do i have the feeling that this PS Blog maintenance is all because John D.? Well we may expect him to break his own record of posts here at the blog now that it has more server capacity.
34
big-gunns | June 23rd, 2009 at 3:07 pm
“We’ve now increased our server capacity, which will allow us to continue to grow and implement new features to the blog.”
More community features on the PS Blog? You know like let us access our PSN friends and see what they’ve been posting around the blog (:

EvoAnubis | June 23rd, 2009 at 3:15 pm
Oh, and I’m still waiting for the PSP-compatible PlayStation.Blog, Jeff. Please tell me that’s coming sooner rather than later.
38
tearsofash | June 23rd, 2009 at 3:16 pm
So this means we’ll have to work even harder to break the blog?
Challenge accepted.
Well, as much as one person logging in helps. =\

juanpipe | June 23rd, 2009 at 4:23 pm
Jeff, one thing:
How do I know that you don’t know about the existence of PlayStation Cloud? Just kidding, but when are we getting some Beatles: Rock Band interviews, trailers, or gameplay?
