| Playstation 3 hacked |
There have been many reports of issues accessing the PlayStation Network this morning from both the PlayStation 3 and PlayStation Portable (PSP) consoles, and via a browser on PC. Sony Computer Entertainment Europe (SCEE) has confirmed that this is for maintenance, and that normal service will resume shortly.
No exact timeframe has been given as to when we can expect the PlayStation Network to return, though it’s likely to occur in different regions at different intervals. At present, Electronic Theatre has been lead to believe that access in the UK and mainland Europe will be restored before this evening’s primetime, and North America shall follow later in the evening.
This latest bout of maintenance is likely to be a pre-emptive maintenance designed to cope with the additional users on the network over the bank holiday period, in which it’s likely that record numbers of gamers will take to the PlayStation Network for extended play sessions. Rumours that this issue has been caused by syndicated hacking groups have already been quashed. Electronic Theatre will keep you updated with all the latest details on the PlayStation Network.
-END-
UPDATE: Sony Japan has also confirmed issues with the PlayStation Network in Japan, stating that they are undergoing, "search and recovery efforts." Additionally, they offer an apology: "We apologies to our customers, we apologise for any inconvenience."
