PSN Down For Scheduled Maintenance Monday

Posted on Monday, April 16 @ 07:11:40 Eastern by Paul_Hanges


I wanted to use "PSN goes down like a $10 hooker" for the title of this article, but since this is scheduled maintenance, and cheap hookers rarely take care of themselves, I figured it didn't fit.

Instead I took the point-blank approach. So thank you for reading this post. Because, really, you could have just read the headline and been done with it. But no. You wanted more!

The maintenance started at 9AM EDT/6AM PDT and will last about 13 hours, so says Sony. Until then, anything related to the PlayStation Network, including the logins on some of their websites, will be inaccessible.

No reason was given for the maintenance, but here's a few things that definitely aren't the reason why:
  • Revamped PSN—Face it, we're stuck with this same ol' shit until the PS4.
  • Cross Game Chat—No. Just no. Buy a Vita if you want this (or an Xbox 360).
  • Insert Unwarranted Hype Here—You know you want to.
Nothing good is coming out of this. I promise you. Just drop it already. Besides, haven't you seen the ads all over GR this weekend? God of War IV is being revealed on the 18th—isn't that enough?

    I am curious what they plan to do for GoW 4. I thought 3 ended it pretty decently, with a nice little opening in case they decided to do a fourth one, but seriously, where do they go from there? What else does Kratos have to get revenge on?

    He converts to Judaism and takes on Yahweh.
    He becomes Buddhist and gets over it.
    He becomes a Mormon and bare knuckle brawls with John Smith.
    He follows Shinto and fights all Kami, everywhere, forever.
    He spends all his wealth to join Scientology and takes on Xenu and a pre-born Tom Cruise.
    He becomes a Muslim and .............................. if I finish this sentence we'll get death threats.

    After loving the first two, I was happy enough but not overjoyed by GOW3. Kratos didn't get enough console love this gen in my opinion and I've moved on to other platform/adventure games.
