Store back at midnight tonight? (EDIT: Nope still not up)

[scottscorpion]

PlayStation Network is offline for scheduled maintenance from 16:00 on Tuesday 24 May 2011 until 00:01 on Wednesday 25 May 2011, GMT.

During the maintenance, you will be unable to access the following services:

PlayStation Store on PS3 and PSP.
PlayStation Network Account Management.
PlayStation Network Account Registration.
In addition, you will not be able to sign in to PlayStation Network from eu.playstation.com. If you wish to play online during the maintenance, please ensure you sign in to PSN before 16:00 on Tuesday 24 May 2011.

During this maintenance, you can continue to collect in-game trophies and these will be updated on your profile once PlayStation Network is back up and running.

does that mean store will be available at 0001 on the 25th?


UPDATE_

guess the store wont be back tomorrow

PlayStation Network will undergo routine maintenance today, between 16:00 BST and 00:00 BST. If you wish to play online during the maintenance, please ensure you sign in to PSN before 16:00.
The latest information I have on PlayStation Store is that we are aiming to have it live by the end of May. Contrary to popular rumours, it will not be reopening tomorrow but we will let you know here as soon as the date is confirmed.
We’re sorry for any inconvenience caused by this essential maintenance.

Usually any updates in the Store have been coming up around 5-8pm EST and I don't know from the posting you have if that's 4pm EST or what time zone. I'll be checking off and on during the day. Have some comics I need to download for the PSP as well as see what we're getting in the Store updates.

Well for me, the PS Store used to be updated on wednesday, so this seems likely that this is Store related.

It also makes sense to bring the PS Store online around about now, a week before the official deadline (31st may). This gives Sony a week to fully check over that everything is working correctly.

I'd best get a couple hours gaming online before it goes offline at 4pm!

If you're already signed in at 4pm, you'll be able to continue playing online even while they're conducting maintenance, you just won't be able to use any other services.

the downtime is also on the usa blog so its not just the uk

The store wont be up today or tonight. "By the end of May" is still the official status. http://blog.eu.playstation.com/

[Typical guy]

I think it's safe to assume that nothing will be done on time. Id be surprised if the store is up before the middle or end of June if not July.

[radgamer420]

So first Sony tells us that the PS Store will be back up May 24 and now that its May 24 they tell us it wont be unitil the end of May. What a load of crap. Sony propably wont make that deadline either.

No, they never said May 24th.

[radgamer420]

No, they never said May 24th.

Actually I think they did. At least thats what I kept hearing.

[Zoibie]

Yeah, my mistake. They apparently said it to devs a week ago but they didn't say it in public.

[radgamer420]

Yeah, websites were reporting about it.

Yeah, from a leaked memo that wasn't supposed to be read by the general public. They've never announced a return date for the store in public. Everything you've read is rumour and assumption.

Well maybe Sony shouldn't have given a date to anybody. Anyway it doesnt change the fact that this is getting a bit ridiculous.

[Airmaxx23]

They are still targeting the end of the month for the Store being back up.

How is it getting ridiculous? Sony have said "the end of May" since this thing began. Any other dates have been nothing but rumour and speculation by the media and fans. You can't blame Sony for the rumours reported by non-official sites being wrong.

[JimG]

Well maybe Sony shouldn't have given a date to anybody.

I've been watching this since the beginning and it seems like Sony is dammed either way. If a date is even mentioned, and then missed, the backlash is tremendous.

Same goes for if they do not give a date; then they are burned at the stake for not being communicative enough.

I for one would hate to be in their shoes for this. Nothing they have done, or will do, is going to be good enough.

I guess it is kind of like being married
