News: Sony has revealed that certain aspects of PSN are down for a few hours for scheduled maintenance.

Certain segments of PSN is down for maintenance for a few hours today. If you have been trying to log on to the PSN Store whether it be via your console/handheld or their web store you will be greeted with a message with a “Site Not Available” message or something similar. Sony put up a short message on their community forums regarding this maintenance period which is below:

“Hi everyone,

We wanted to take a moment to inform you of a network maintenance, currently scheduled for Monday, April 21st from 9:50 AM to 3:50 PM Pacific Time (12:50 PM to 6:50 PM Eastern Time). We expect this maintenance to last approximately 6 hours.

If you’ve signed in to the network any time since April 16th you will be able to play games online and access partner apps such as Netflix during this maintenance period. The PlayStation Store, PlayStation Home and Account Management will not be available during this time, and users may receive a maintenance notification when attempting to access these services.

We thank you for your patience and support and apologize for any inconvenience this may cause.
