PSN is offline tomorrow

The PlayStation Network will go offline for scheduled maintenance tomorrow morning, Sony's noted.

The PS3 online service will be unavailable from 8:00am GMT until 11:00am GMT (though that's an "estimate" finish time), a community man notes on the official PlayStation forums.

"During this time, you may be unable to sign in to the PlayStation Network. We expect that users will be affected for only 15 minutes during this period," the Sony man says.

Could they pick a worse day to do this crap! I took off Tuesday so I can sit on my butt drink beer and play MW all day while the wife is at work. I know it's not a life or death issue here, but I'd seriously like to kick whoever scheduled this in the vaj.

It is 8am-11am GMT on a work/school day. That is 3am-6am EST or Midnight-3am PST. I don't foresee too many people having an issue with this. In most parts of the world people are either working/at school, or sleeping.

Maybe it to configure something with the heavy traffic, in which case it would make perfect sense to do it today. God, 15 minutes, you'll live.

I'm hoping they're implimenting the CoD 1 download. I knew nothing about that till I got MW2. Very nice surprize to get the original game from PSN.

Its 15 minutes so who cares. On top of that I highly doubt its a Firmware update considering there haven't been any heads up of one coming, and Sony has already said there won't be anymore this year.

On top of that didn't IW confirm there's no party/cross game chat support for MW2 on the 360? I thought they said its only the in-game chat available, and if thats true why would Sony even bother putting up Cross game chat tomorrow?

Its PSN maintenance, for roughly 15 minutes.
