PSN Maintenance 3/4: 14 Hours & Completely Offline (Sunday 12pm PST - 2am PST)

[Trace17]

Normally I wouldn't think this would deserve a new thread, but it's a bit different this time. As bolded below, typically some can usually play and sign on during maintenance events, but not access the store or their account. But Sony says this week, NOBODY gets online and anyone online gets kicked off at 8am Pacific.

PlayStation Network will undergo a significant maintenance period on Thursday, March 1st. Maintenance is expected to start at just after 8:00 am Pacific and will last for several hours, until approximately 10pm Pacific.

Unlike typical maintenance events, consumers who are already signed-in to PSN will be signed-out, and consumers will be unable to sign in for the duration of the maintenance window. During this time, users won’t be able to access the PlayStation Store, PlayStation Home, Account Management or play online.

PSN enabled websites will not be able to service users, including this one. Please stay tuned to the PlayStation Twitter feed for a notice when PSN is fully back online.

We apologize for any inconvenience this may cause.
