PSN: PSA is down for maintenance today
Err, wait. Scratch that. Reverse it. This is a helpful PSA reminding you, dear reader, that the PSN will be down for regularly scheduled maintenance for at least part of the day today. Servers are going down for a hasty sprucing-up at 8:00 PST, and are expected to stay down "for several hours." In the meantime, why not step outside? It's a beautiful day today -- unless you live in select parts of the midwest, which is currently experiencing a phenomenon meteorologists are referring to as "razor rain." You guys should probably hide in your bathtubs or something.

What the hell is razor rain? Sounds like something from my worst nightmares
zaphodb42 @ Aug 25th 2009 10:56AM
It is the smoothest shave you'll ever get!
Nick @ Aug 25th 2009 11:14AM
Living in Iowa (Iowa City at the moment), I certainly have experienced painful "razor rain" before.
ToadStoolPorridge @ Aug 25th 2009 11:27AM
I'll tell you what it's not.
Fun
Paul @ Aug 25th 2009 11:42AM
you guys in the midwest seem to get a new kind of storm every few years.... tornadoes, softball sized hail, derechos, razor rain...next it's gonna be like nuclear lightening
Nobledevil @ Aug 25th 2009 12:25PM
I wonder if roaches will be the only thing that survives after a nuclear lighting storm. Well, maybe them and Moira Brown.
Mo @ Aug 25th 2009 1:07PM
I thought it was a prince song
Jerses @ Aug 25th 2009 10:56AM
Maybe theyre testing the 3.00 firmware and in september 1st they will say due to some glitches they need to improve the upgrade and it will be out in october. :P hope everything goes well with this server mantenance.
andrew.lgp @ Aug 25th 2009 11:05AM

Mo @ Aug 25th 2009 10:56AM

sadly... i expect nothing... but thats always when it hits you... right?
*sigh*
Jerses @ Aug 25th 2009 10:56AM
Hey! i forgot... did the ps3 slim arrived???
Heavytoka @ Aug 25th 2009 10:57AM
yeah it came out today
Jerses @ Aug 25th 2009 10:59AM
Sooooo it came earlier than expected nice, where are you from? and what store did you see it? Im going to buy me a slim and give my 40gb to my brother :P
Heavytoka @ Aug 25th 2009 11:03AM
I'm in the US and got it at Crapstop this morning
Lambrick @ Aug 25th 2009 11:39AM
i read that sept 1st was just the date that the slim would be everywhere, though it could be in a lot of other places before the date.
Heavytoka @ Aug 25th 2009 11:48AM
I got mine at Crapstop this a.m. and I'm in the US
Phoenix8387 @ Aug 25th 2009 10:57AM
Or... you could always just pass the time with some Batman: Arkham Asylum.
Mo @ Aug 25th 2009 11:09AM
EGADS! I didn't realize it meant I couldn't look at my trophies from work... Dang Integration!
Mo @ Aug 25th 2009 11:36AM
ooh yeah I can, I just need to click my portable ID! w00t!
karlwulfekote @ Aug 25th 2009 11:12AM
good thing BatMan is single player!
Jack Hollow @ Aug 25th 2009 11:25AM
Who planned to take PSN down on the day that Arkham Asylum is released? I mean, the whole appeal of getting the PS3 version was to be able to download the exclusive Joker maps on release day. Of course everyone can just download them when PSN is back up, but still, seems a bit odd.
Such is the folly of scheduled maintenance I suppose
DaveC @ Aug 25th 2009 11:28AM
Isn't it: "PSA: PSN is down for maintenance today"?
Mo @ Aug 25th 2009 11:35AM
isn't it RTFA!!!! or RTFP!!!!
jezzuzz, you assume you know it all don't you ;-)

Mo @ Aug 25th 2009 11:34AM
maybe they are so awesome they had to take psn down to make them available?
im just saying... maybe... lol
Evildude @ Aug 25th 2009 11:43AM
This is one of the Joker's ways to get batman mad....think about it..he wont be able to play...damn
Bodachi @ Aug 25th 2009 11:44AM
Well its the jokers doing!
j.howlett @ Aug 25th 2009 11:47AM
the joker maps have been on the psn store since friday
Paul @ Aug 25th 2009 12:03PM
it's just a few hours dude
Jack Hollow @ Aug 25th 2009 12:12PM
@Paul
Like I said, can just download it when it comes back up. Still find it odd.
Traceur_Ryuk (PSN: Ryuk_shinigami) @ Aug 25th 2009 12:26PM
What j.howlett said. They have been available for a while now.
Evildude @ Aug 25th 2009 11:41AM
Nothings gonna happen, they just gonna check the "complaints" box and a few ppl will get banned...I think they should also check that the mice aren't pulling out the Ethernet cables in the server room....that's all
Nobledevil @ Aug 25th 2009 12:21PM
The mice do that at my house too, but that's because I have wireless and they hate tripping over cables. Did I mention I have huge, intelligent mice in my house?
Evildude @ Aug 25th 2009 12:24PM
lol I bet it looks like "Lester" from beakman's world!!!
Paul @ Aug 25th 2009 12:26PM
that happened to me for the longest time, than one day I stopped smearing peanut butter on the router...worked like a charm!
Fane @ Aug 25th 2009 6:48PM
Damn pan-dimensional beings.
butlersp @ Aug 25th 2009 12:47PM
No, Sony usually waits until the day before or the day of the release then issue the statement that the update is delayed. Or in even better cases wait until they have reached the required number of calls saying that their systems have bricked and then tell us the update was pulled, they know what the problem is and will have it up after further testing.
Angel Mass @ Aug 25th 2009 12:55PM
So for now people, you just have to go back to face your empty life
Traceur_Ryuk (PSN: Ryuk_shinigami) @ Aug 25th 2009 12:58PM
You're quite the hypocrite aren't you? Come on a video game blog just to insult people, great job.
Mo @ Aug 25th 2009 1:07PM
is it back yet? is it back yet? is it back yet? is it back yet?
:-P

Gee, I was just kidding, take it easy people
CrashSpyro123 @ Aug 25th 2009 1:05PM
Is that a Willy Wonka reference at the beginning?
Neo Asuma @ Aug 25th 2009 1:18PM
The "PSA" and "PSN" should be reversed in the title.
"PSA: PSN is down for maintenance today."
traceur_ryuk_shinigami @ Aug 25th 2009 1:25PM
Read the first sentence in the article.
Makes me wonder if people just read the titles of these articles and think they can comment about it.
