That's kind of a long window. Wonder what the maintenance is for.

So this only affects EU? Or NA as well?

Wonder if it’s a new look we’re getting? Xbox Dashborad got a facelift.. Sony could be following suit with a new XMB?

As much as I'd like that, if they were going to do an interface update they would have put it in the 4.00 firmware. Most likely it's just regular maintenance that won't have any visible impact.

Damn it! And I was just about to buy Sonic CD. And once again, Europe gets the short end of the stick, with the maintenance running up until the early hours.

Plus, how many times have they done this in this year alone?

lol, that's the only alternative? Either have tons of down time for "maintenance" OR have the PSN breached?

This is crazy, I spend good money for PSN and it should never go down. I might just call them sorry suckers over at!!!!!! Oh wait, never mind.
The PSN is still the best investment that i never had to pay for.

Yeah since we don't pay for the PSN, people can't really complain. That's the beauty of being a multiconsole owner. You don't rely on one console.
