UPDATED: PlayStation Network Scheduled Maintenance Today

UPDATE: The maintenance has been completed, and Account Management and other affected functions are once again accessible. Thanks, as always, for your patience.

PlayStation Network is scheduled to undergo maintenance today, from about 8am until approximately 5pm Pacific time. During this time, registration and Account Management will be inaccessible, including the password reset process. While some users may experience difficulty signing in to PSN, the majority of consumers will be able to play online as well as sign in to external sites that require PSN authentication (like this one).

For those asking about the PlayStation Store, we’re still targeting restoration of all services by the end of this month. Contrary to reports, the Store will not be publishing today.

Stay tuned to the PlayStation Twitter feed for updates and a notice when maintenance has concluded.

We apologize for any inconvenience this may cause.

    Im Pleased to hear a heads up

  • how do you copy or forward messages?

  • SamuraiSixString

    hey, here is an idea……lets stop releasing crap about preorder bonuses and gow3 how to make a monster and start telling your customers when your going to restore the psn download list and store. i for one am not going to buy anything else until the store is back (since i have 4 games i cant even play online with right now because of the online access voucher i cant redeem). lets focus more on what the consumers want and a little less on patting yourselves on the back for offering a theft protection plan to us…..if we dont have a store to spend money in, whats the point of giving us theft protection!

  • @1941 Again I post this to people saying think about the earthquake and tornados..this is the psn blog not the red cross..again should we go post there and say sorry for what happened but what about all the people that dont have the psn..would be pretty moronic. let the people vent thats why there’re here. If Sony would give better info the crowds would be satisfied.

  • This has to be the worse PR ever…

  • I finally got my free Big Mac after a month, but I’m still waiting on those darned fries I paid for!!! See what I’m getting at here.

  • The outage was killing me. Playing single player was getting soooooo boring. Got a couple free downloads coming my way, but the dang stiore still is closed. If it were a real store, I would already have gone to Walmart or something, but I am not going to sell out to the Microwimp Lamebox. I want my DLC and some new COD:BO map packs.

    Comparatively, who has been crashed longer, Greatstation or Lamebox? Rumors I heard were Lamebox was down once for 3 months straight. Anyone confirm?

  • Where can I aplly for the Sony PR position? I am sure I can do a better job for less $. Just respond daily and I won’t complain. People with plus service must be livid.

  • USA government has worse PR but not by much.

  • the Japanese government is denying it permission to restart. They say they’re not convinced that Sony is any more able to protect its customers, this time around. thats why there is no psn in Japan

  • Japan: Good looking out!

  • I dont mean to sound dumb…but i was wondering if anyone knew when the playstation store would be back up and running. I just bought RB3 yesterday…and i cant connect to the Music store…cuz that is connected to the PS store…anyone ggot any ideas??

  • GL kip_man. We are all on standby.

  • thanx for the good work

  • Like a good neighbor, State Farm is there… …with the PS store up and running, and the girl from 3C, and a Dagwood sandwich.

  • I am amazed that so many of us are still in the dark about this whole thing. Pipe up Sony. Spit it out. What’s going on here? Just call it a guesstimation of time. Then nobody can call you a liar.

  • Any news about the PSN in Japan?

  • +++1951-samuraisixsring…
    i 2nd ur thought..they shouldnt post updates on DLC’s & games just tell us when the store will be up
    :)

  • i have another idea…. Playstation just announced they are building the next playstation. DONT BUY IT

  • Ok, I just wish sony would have said something, so everyone isn’t excited that the ps store is coming back up on 24th. They just ticked off a lot more ppl.

  • I would like to formally announce that I am now going to put in my resume for Public Relations into Sony.

  • @1941 i agree with ya…Japan is hurting we just need to be patient.
    (disregard last post)

  • XGenocide-AngelX

    its May 26th here, and i cant log into my psn account on my ps3. is this due to this update?

  • i got logged out for some reason, i went to get a bite to eat and when i came back i was able to log in again

  • everyone wants sony to tell them what’s going on right? sony already said it might be up by the end of the month. why are people still asking when is it going to be up? can you people not read? they aren’t going to tell you what exactly is going on….. here is a thought………..i ate a steak today…..you people ask, when are you going to s**t out that steak?…… i reply with the answer, in a about 2 days…….i don’t and then you get mad cause i didn’t give you an exact date that i’m about to throw some deuces down the jon………..just saying

  • Strange, played online last night…… played online this morning…….logged out at 8:30am, now just 8 hrs later, no network again. WTF.
    And for you Obama lovers…. that dont mean (W in T he F uture)
    Anyway, Maintenance again. I dont play online daily, or even weekly, but damn. Loyal to my PS since 1997. And for some reason I have come to rely on their undying ability to always deliver a superb product( no red rings of death) uhmm. Love my PS3 but this is getting rediculous

    @ 1919 Plz if your 13 and youve been a fan since ps1..lets see that came out in 95..you do the math.
    bet your rage quiter. just sayin)

    Gotta correct ya here.
    sorry man, it came out in 1997………Just sayin…….LOL

  • conservative1981

    You guys know when the store will get back up? I’m sick of New Vegas because theres nothing t shoot, so i have to download all of Fallout 3’s DLCs again.
    And also do you know if playstation store still has the data on our purchases from before the black out?

  • 1978: no one seems to know, its a game of sit and wait. Patience is a virtue that I dont possess much of anymore, but apparently i will have to grow some.

  • Thanks for the heads up! I cant wait til the ps store comes back up

  • lol @ gameman258 thanks for the heads up? this is laughable wow Sony you’re doing a splendid job! hahaha Bravo Sony Bravo

  • My GOD is this making me PO’ed! Everyday for a month its been the same Stuff. I hate having high hopes when I come home just to see that you guys are still messing around. In case you havent been noticing this sony so i’ll put it in big letters for you, WE ARE VERY MAD AT HOW YOU ARE HANDLING THIS SITUATION. DO YOU HONESTLY THINK WE CARE ABOUT AN ART CONTEST? I BET YOUR MAIN CONCERN FOR THE LAST MONTH (YES ITS BEEN THAT LONG SONY) HAS BEEN THAT CONTEST. DO YOUR JOB AND FIX THE NETWORK, ALL OF IT.

    You do wish to make money right? You are in deep at over $171 million and counting, how do you expect to get out of it faster… BY OPENING THE STORE

    please Sony, hurry up and give an exact date please

  • Well, i can’t wait to claim my friggin’ Mortal Kombat pre-order crap….i want that costume!!!

  • everybody stop complaining.

  • All I would like to know is if the music service is ever going to work right. All I get, is that it can’t connect to the server, then has me close it. Please get it working right if you are going to say it is restored.

  • darthgrievous184

    If the store will be back in june 28, we will all have the Uncharted 3 multiplayer beta earlier

  • darthgrievous184

    sorry, on may 28

  • thanks for the update

  • Sweet thanks PSN keep it up

  • My dcl for Borderlands will be expiring soon. Can you plz get the store back up by the end of this week? Thank you for your time, and plz respond to this message as soon as the store is comes back up.

  • Welp, there’s a little under 5 days left until the targeted date. Wonder if they’ll actually bring it back online on time. Not holding my breath.

  • The identity theft company offer actually gave a time frame of when you would actually get an activation code. Pretty bad when another company can give a time frame and sony can’t. Before anyone opens their hole in their face…it isn’t sony’s identity theft protection, its a third party’s

  • Jerometheknight

    According to CNET.com, “The failure of Sony’s server security has ignited investigations by the FBI, the Department of Justice, Congress, and the New York State Attorney General, a well as data security and privacy authorities in the U.K., Canada, and Taiwan.”

  • Its all about money when they are opening the store, sony is projecting losses of 171 million at the end of this fiscal year cuz of the outgage, they want to open the store at the beginning of the new fiscal year. which thats when they target the store to be open

  • And to anyone that does not believe people are giving their up their ps3’s for 360’s go to cnet.com for the story. I tried to trade mine in at the gamestop where i lived, i already own a 360, they wouldn’t take it cuz so many people traded theirs in, and now that i think about it i just bought my ps3 last feb. and refuse to only get a quarter of my money back, so i’m keeping it to get my moneys worth.

  • open the store open the store this weekend………………………………………………………………………………………………….

  • DAD_OF_2_ZOMBIES

    I know this has nothing to do with all the other posts, but has anyone else been having problems with black ops-zombies? since the network went down, our game is not working right, cant see your guns sometimes, dont hear the start of the new rounds, dont hear the guys talk or hear when people get perks…then all of a sudden every few minutes or so every sound plays at once, and then you can see your gun again, but then it all happens again

  • sony open the store this weekend so i can re download my map pack for black ops for some strange reason it got deleted or something wtf i paid $16 bucks for that WTF?

  • DAD_OF_2_ZOMBIES

  • DAD_OF_2_ZOMBIES
