Reminder: PSN down for maintenance tomorrow

Sony has reminded gamers today that the PlayStation Network will be down for maintenance starting tomorrow.

The Network will go down at 9AM EST, and be down for the next 13 hours.



Says Sony: "This maintenance will last roughly 13 hours. During much of 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 [the PlayStation Blog]."

The maintenance will be to optimize and clean up processes and Sony confirmed nothing is "broken."

When asked for more information on the downtime, Matthew Harper, the Senior Manager of PlayStation Digital Platforms noted "Part of my job is to make sure that the lines of communication are open between our users and PlayStation. While I don't have more details to share at this time regarding the downtime, I will certainly work to include more info in future posts."

  It would be better for them to stay down permanently.

I hadn't been on for months (a solid 3+, maybe 6+) then got on semi-recently to play with a friend. Couldn't because that was the day they had "scheduled maintenance."
  

  Doesnt expecting the unexpected make the unexpected expected and therefore mean youre expecting the expected which was the unexpected until you expected it?
