PSU Interviews Bethesda's Pete Hines on Fallout 3Tomorrow, 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.

i hope firmware 2.40 follows the release of the network downtime
i believe that 2.40 would have something to do with the downtime because otherwise i dont know what it would be for?
optimistic... would be nice if it came but dont think so. ill lay a golden egg if it came 2moro n we all know humans dont
maybe this maintenace has sumting else to do with maybe
and also..correct me if im wrong but wasnt the last time the psn network was down you were still able to play games online...thats what i remember..because now the store and online are down..so it must be more of an update
@Bdare ill hold you too those words so dont forget them
could it be june 2.4.... maybe so... time will tell
@ Scarletspiderman : yup ill even get my nest ready but aint happenin LOL.
@ FreakyZekey firmware 2.4 = june 24, hmm cheesy , could be true , but i doubt it.........
2.4 on da 24th. we'll see. i hope so!
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?
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!!!!!!

Why does everyone keep saying they hope it's in thursday... PSN updates come thursday and firmware updates happen on Tuesday's usually

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
Yes as i said befor i belive it the realase will be 2moro allnighter... again!
i bet it does im sure they are integrating the trophy system and stuff because thats an odd time to do maitenance i bet its here in the next couple of weeks
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...
no but they have to put the tutorial video somwere :P
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 ;)
I doubt it has anything to do with FW 2.40. Keep dreaming guys.
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.
yay they may surprize us with HOME version 1.0
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.
why can't they do it at night!!!
This has nothing to do with 2.4. Don't get your hopes up people.

hopefully this means 2.4 update and that theyll make the psn store more like the american one as the europe one is crap i mean iit doesnt even have a demo section!
i was told the firmware comes out wendsday (6-25). but that source is so limited because it was a comment on a youtube video lol
WHAT! I can't play any games online during the maintenance? That's incredibly stupid. At least do it at like 10PM - 4AM. GF Sony.
As long 2.4 is nearly ready, i dont mind what Sony does.
Dont mind aslong as it is worthwhile.
What the... i am just about to play MGO after office hour :S
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...
Thanks Captain Obvious!
offically 10:11 am, and still able to access the store
FreakyZekey and Jonbori you guys have good idea hahahah xD
well i cant get into store as it comes up with error other than that ive been playing online on team so onlnie play might still work in other games too
