It’s been announced that the European PlayStation Network will undergo another round of scheduled maintenance starting this Thursday afternoon, which means that all online services related to PSN will be unavailable.
From 4pm GMT / 6pm South Africa on December 15th until 2am / 4am South African on December 16, the following PSN services will be offline:
- PS Store (PC and Console)
- Account Management
- Account Registration
- PlayStation Home
A forum post announcing the maintenance says:
“Users who [attempt] to sign into the PlayStation Network during this period may be presented with the site maintenance notification page.
“Users who are already signed into their PlayStation account when the maintenance begins should remain signed in, however the above services will still be unavailable.”
Sorry p33ps, looks like our planned Uncharted 3 Thursday will have to take a back seat again - if this carries on, we might need to find another evening for our games. Should we continue to try for Thursdays at 20:00, or try for another day?

Damn, I was so looking forward to this Thursday night. Perhaps we can fit it in another night this week or weekend? Otherwise we can schedule double the fun for next week :)
I'm so sorry for the p33ps that is going to miss the Uncharted 3 evening. Its really sad, Double sad for me as I don't have the game too. But Double the fun sounds interesting.
Nooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo! Of all the days in the week they could have selected. This is distressing news!
I know - the first thing I thought when I read it was: "No Uncharted 3 Thursday."
Then my smiley, winking face (Example ;) ) turned into a frowny face with no winking - only a single tear (like so ;( )
Why?! Why does it have to be on our UC3 nights :'( I'm fine with choosing another night. Seems this is hapenning a lot now :/
