Patches that I've noticed use the Internet directly, not PSN. So they were down loadable even when PSN was down.

Game patches have don't have anything to do with the PS Store.

patches have never been offline. All you had to do was put a game in to test that. I got patches for Blops, monopoly Streets, Time Crisis and Crysis 2 while the network was down.

You've always been able to download game patches. They are seperate from the PSN and hosted on different servers.

Wow, I'm an idiot. Bought Heavy Rain 3 weeks ago and was waiting for PSN to come back up to patch cause I heard it had crashing issues.

Could have been playing all this time.

Thanks for info!

hahaha. Yeah I was surprised when I got SOCOM 4 in the 1st days of PSN being down, that it still updated. So it seems that game patches were available the entire time PSN was down.
