PlayStation Network could be down 'a day or two'
The PlayStation Network outages may take longer than expected to fix. In an update on the PlayStation Blog corporate communications director Patrick Seybold said it might last "a full day or two."
While we are investigating the cause of the Network outage, we wanted to alert you that it may be a full day or two before we’re able to get the service completely back up and running. Thank you very much for your patience while we work to resolve this matter. Please stay tuned to this space for more details, and we'll update you again as soon as we can.
It's hard to imagine worse timing for Sony, as this comes during the launch of multiplayer-focused SOCOM 4, the cross-platform Steamworks debut of Portal 2, the Infamous 2 beta test, and the fighting game Mortal Kombat. Sony's servers are probably being taxed to the bone, but the word "investigation" seems to imply there's more at work here. We'll keep an eye on the situation.
