The reason behind the PSN maintenance

That Gaming Site:
We may have got a bit ahead of ourselves yesterday, with the PSN having maintenance.

Speculation immediately spread leading to the Home Beta. It never arrived though, and yes we was disappointed, even though it was the slightest chance.

So this is where the maintenance was really going on....

1.8 - I agree

To OP but I fail to come to senses with the actual article itself. Just because Konami reported it first off in MGO doesn't mean it was essentially an MGO maintenance, Konami reports all PSN Maintenance, just like the one a few weeks (months?) ago it had nothing to do with MGO but they still reported it.

I think it's great that Konami is keeping us all up to date on PSN activity (even though it's not detailed, it's still awesome to know these things are coming).

amazing how sites get things wrong...

the PSN maintenance was due to sony doing whatever they were doing..

Konami took the opportunity to make their maintenance and updates at the same time.. makes sense..

as for the psn maintenance doing nothing.. lets not forget that the last time sony did this a week or two later the video store went live.. not only that but it went live without the need of a restart or download

there is no way of telling what went on behind the curtain, but with so many upcoming features (xmb updates, Life With Playstation, HOME, Server Stability Updates etc) its easy to guess

but its silly how some of these sites act like they know first hand

I noticed that immediately!

What's even worse is that when you go to the actual site it says

"We where disappointed"

What's wrong you ask?

They used "where" when "were" should have been used!

Examples- "Where did Jim go?" or "were you there too?"

i looked around this site

Mr Cheese is a 17yr old student who runs his own site

now let me say

i give kids some leeway for spelling and grammer but dam if this doesnt explain the issues we have with N4G...anyone with a webstie can be seen and some fools on this site will take the word of the website

rule of thumb

If Sony doesnt tell you why the servers are down just wait till they get them back up because they WILL explain the work they did!

please dont talk about Konami servers...guess you missed the MGO beta than....
and recall GTA online when it first came out..the PSN handshake problem..
I am only guessing its may be related to it being Socy, a very high profile game that is gonna swamp PSN next week...and Socy is not allowing the beta d/l early so its gonna be a massive bw drain

13 - I want to call "FAKE" on this.

Konami uses their own servers and systems. I'd even wager that the entire MGO network in independent of PSN because of how they handle their logins. Looks like the site is just speculating as much as we are. Is this really news-credible then?

They don't work for Sony and don't even have a source so why are they telling everyone "The Home Beta is coming after maintenance!"

They're just speculating like every other gamer! These uninformative articles are on "news websites"?

One thing i can guarantee they've done is sort out the status list.
When somebody lists themselves as busy it moves them out of the alphabetical list and puts them at the bottom of the online list. much better in my opinion rather than having the two all mixed up.

Small thing maybe, but it please's me!!

E3 Sony says Life with Playstation (or LwPS as the hipsters are calling it) will be released by the end of July

Literally on the night of July 31 the official PS blog says that it's delayed until August

It's the END of August and there was just PSN maintenance

SO LET'S PUT 2 AND 2 TOGETHER

End of August maintenance + LwPS releasing August = LwPS will release soon! Maybe Thursday during the usual PSN Store update?

Something so good, we won't even care that they delayed everything for so long. Ah yes, in a perfect world, in a perfect world.
