As Sony stated earlier in the week, the Playstation Network will undergo a maintenance period today, July 26, 2012. Although gameplay should still be operational, the PSN store and PSN Home may not be accessible.
The official times for the maintenance window are 11:00am EDT through 3:00am EDT the following day. The official post on the Playstation Community board reads as follows:
During this maintenance period, you may receive a message that states “PlayStation Network is undergoing maintenance†when attempting to access the PlayStation Store or PlayStation Home. As long as you have signed in to PSN within 5 days prior to the start of maintenance (meaning: any time since July 21st), you WILL be able to play games online and enjoy apps such as Netflix, HULU Plus and Music Unlimited during this maintenance period. So if you haven’t signed in to PSN in the last few days, we suggest you do so before the maintenance period begins Thursday morning.
If you are experiencing difficulty logging into the network during these times, you can check the official Playstation Twitter account for updates on when the service will be fully restored.
