PSN downtime is always a nuisance, especially when it's scheduled during a prime time gaming slot, but if it helps keep the network "more secure and better than ever", as Sony CEO Howard Stringer said in September, then who are we to arguePlayStation News: PlayStation Network maintenance this Thursday - ComputerAndVideoGames.com What they do during all of this downtime we will never know. Probably maintaining their back-ends again...lol For those wondering...yes, that's another 10 hours on Home update day from 11am-9pm EST.
Thanks hops!! I appreciate you keeping us informed! I didn't know and would have been surprised. And the est translation was very helpful. Looks like most of Thursday after the update will be kaput for us. Especially for us on the west coast. I really hope they didn't plan one of their limited one time specials on that day. But you never know.
