PSN to receive maintenance tomorrow

Posted on June 23rd, 2008 at 18:44 EDT

Tomorrow, June 24, the PlayStation Network will see some downtime in order for maintenance to be done. The downtime will occur from 10 AM to 4 PM CST (4 PM to 10 PM GMT). During this period, you will not be able to access the store or play any titles online.

With Firmware 2.4 just around the bend, this could potentially have something to do with that update. We'll see in due time.

Next: Grand Theft Auto IV patch released

Rockstar is continuing to improve the quality of their record-breaking title Grand Theft Auto IV with yet another released patch. This will mark the second patch released...

PS3 fanboy just found out that the"Update This is just a regularly scheduled maintenance; it has absolutely nothing to do with firmware updates. We're sorry for any confusion."  So there we go not for 2.4.

are you kidding me? they decided to do this on the day that a huge multiplayer title, battlefield bad company is coming out? wtf are they thinking...I'm all about a great performing network, and it should be done for a title like this....but shouldn't they do this today instead of tommorrow?

posted 7:20pm EDT - June 23rd, 2008

Well lets see, if not I'll wait like HaMmOdY

I'm always down for better performance of the network, that is if it isn't for the 2.4 update.

Anything to make the system that we have better is a great thing. I like updates and maintenace. It really goes to show you that SONY is working hard for it true fans and if they are willing to do everything to give me a better system every month, then i'm all for it. I'LL BE A 25 YEAR OF FANBOY WHO GETS UPDATES AND MAINTENACE AT NO COST TO HAVE A BETTER SYSTEM THEN ANY OTHER OUT THERE!!!!!!

Go to PS3fanboy they got confirmation that it's just a regular scheduled maintenance. Sorry, everyone, no 2.4 tomorrow.

I will have mixed feelings if it comes tomorrow. I'm not home for the next days. Oh well, might get home earlier than expected if this is true:p

psn id: gingo... this will probably be making sure the psn can cope with the mass amounts of downloads they r expecting from 2.4 and i think we will see 2.4 within the next 2 weeks

They aren't going to be taking down the PSN for a FW update. don't get your hopes up...

i dont like the way you guys are saying that this maintenance might be because of firmware 2.4... im tired of reading comments without base... dont give people false hopes.  When it is released well everyone will know for sure ;)

posted 9:05pm EDT - June 23rd, 2008

I doubt it has anything to do with FW 2.40. Keep dreaming guys.

posted 9:35pm EDT - June 23rd, 2008

It doesn't, ps3fanboy already said they got conformation that it has nothing to do with 2.4

So this could mean that we MIGHT  get the 2.40 update thursday.

Who knows, we'll get 2.40, when we get it. EVERYONE KEEP THERE PANTIES ON NOW, IT'S ALMOST HERE!!! PSN I.D.:Demented007 Patience, BREATH! BREATH! BREATH! LOL!

this has got to involve 2.4. remember the last time we had it down? it was for hte fw that the new PS Store came in, but even than we were able to sign in and play games online, just not get on the PS Store. now we cant even play online? this is something big...

I'm with you Demon, something bigs a comin. Hopefully 2.4 will follow within a day or 2 of this maintenance.

you never know. sony does not comment on rumors....but have they ever faked us out before though?  I really dont think so.  My best guess is your best guess....and it's almost guaranteed to not be home......although that WOULD be cool.....

It's Just  Standard Maintenance Work. I Was Just On PS3fanboy And That's What They Found Out. Bummer Though.

tuesday June 24th does sound like a nice day to roll out FW 2.4 so idk, but im pretty sure we shall see 2.4 before july 4th. But i bet the update will take a heck of a long time to download lol.

This has nothing to do with 2.4. Don't get your hopes up people.

Mostly upset about not getting to play MGO.  I will just have to play through MGS4 again, I'm on my second play through, trying to get the stealth camo (no detections).  BF:BC comes out today too which I am getting for my xbox so I will have that to play...
