Sony announced via Twitter yesterday in the middle of the night that the PSN would undergo maintenance today between the hours of 12:00 AM PST and 12:30 PM PST. This can prevent access to the Playstation Store, prevent sign in to the PSN at all, prevent online gaming from operating properly, and cause a maintenance page to appear when trying to access the PSN on the web. The maintenance is reportedly to complete a "major database upgrade".
Here's hoping the database upgrade somehow speeds up PSN downloads. Sure would be nice to get a little more advance notice, as well as more conspicuous notice, considering the magnitude of the reported work. The average gamer trying to use the PSN today likely has no idea why they can't game online right now. I know I don't recall seeing any notice of this while using my PS3 even as late as 11:30 EST last night.
