How long is the Playstation Network going to be undergoing maintenance
5 hours so far to my knowledge

[#3]

[#4]

Hmm curious as I was on last night and haven't changed anything

[#5]

I can browse on my PS3 and use iPlayer etc but Playstation Network is unavailable....as it says due to maintenance

[#6]

I must say it was good to see this report as I have checked everything locally.

[#7]

At last it's back up.....

[#8]

I played on and off all day without any issues.
Anyone know how the PS3 determines which network to connect to. Isit automatic or are there settings for it?

Considering the problem was with European servers and US servers were up and playing I would have very much liked to have switched to them
