Sony announced today that the PlayStation Network will undergo routine maintenance on Monday, October 13, for a period of around seven hours. It's currently scheduled to take place on that day from 10 AM to 5 PM PDT.

"During this time we will deploy a series of back-end improvements to the network," Sony wrote on its website on Thursday.

If you've signed into the PSN since October 8 you will be able to play PlayStation 4, PlayStation 3, and PlayStation Vita games online and access entertainment apps like Netflix during the maintenance period. However, the PlayStation Store, PlayStation Home, and Account Management will be offline.

"We thank you for your patience and support and apologize for any inconvenience this may cause," Sony said.

After six years of continued support, Sony announced plans in September to shutter PlayStation Home. The service will be taken offline early next year in the United States, Canada, and Europe.

Poor scheduling. That's a holiday for the US and many people are off.

Edit: I of course will be logged in today allowing me to access online games but for those unaware it sucks.

Not a big deal but the time frame is essentially a workday which negates the free time people had. It was just poorly scheduled not something for picket signs.

If I ever buy a PS4, and I most likely will at some point given that I own a 1, 2, and 3 - my multiplats will still be on X1 due to their superior Xbox Live experience. Online gaming is important to me and issues like this and 2 major Sony games having no multiplayer option (Infamous and The Order), are deal breakers for me.

<< LINK REMOVED >> Is it really necessary to try and correct someone's grammar when your original post was damn near close to having 2 run-on sentences? I can understand if you're an English teacher, but otherwise it really isn't necessary.

And those aren't 'run off sentences'. Are you reading them on a phone?

@Sevenizz "And those aren't 'run off sentences'. Are you reading them on a phone?"

Also since you corrected me, do you see the punctuation error you made with your sentence?

<< LINK REMOVED >> Seriously man? Read it again, the sentence does not need the "it," it is perfectly readable. Secondly, I said they were damn near close to being run-on sentences.

There really is no need to be a grammar police as people make mistakes. You have in the past and I don't recall people correcting you, so stop trying to act like an English teacher (unless you really are one).
