Believe it or not, the PlayStation Network is undergoing maintenance later this week, and as per usual, it seems to be of the standard sort.
"During this time, we will deploy a series of back-end improvements to the network," Sony says. The service will be impacted on 15th January, and the maintenance will last four hours, from 17:00PM GMT to 21:00PM GMT. However, in a post on its support site, the Japanese company states that "if you've signed in to the network any time prior to October 8th, you will be able to play games online and access partner apps such as Netflix during this maintenance period". See, it's not so bad.
You won't be able to access the PlayStation Store, Account Management, or PlayStation Home while the service is being tampered with, though, so make sure that you're not planning on nabbing some downloadable goodies during this time.

I'll be at work for those hours, nicely planned downtime for once
Maintenance this week as opposed to?
I would genuinely like to know why Sony has to take down psn to do maintenence on it where as Microsoft can do all their maintenance without any service interruptions. It has always confused me.
@mitcHELLspawn Maybe because Microsoft have way more servers for XBOX Live whereas Sony has way more users on PSN with much less servers than Microsoft.
Um, are you sure there's no maintenance today? I tried signing in and it said something along the lines of, "PSN is undergoing maintenance."
It stinks because I was going to play Destiny but I can't now. I wish it had some sort of offline play...
@Alpha2797 Yeah, psn is down for me too.
PSN is back up for me.
