Say what you want about the Titanic, at least it only went down once. Sony's PlayStation Network? At times it feels like that ship sinks more than it swims. That isn't actually the case, of course, but frequent maintenance following the high-profile hack job last year means more periods of downtime than gamers would like, including today. If all goes to schedule, PSN will turn back on at midnight PST.
Sony pulled PSN offline at 6AM this morning for routine maintenance, and while "most online play will be unaffected," the following services are out of commission until late tonight:
You also won't be able to sign in to PSN from u.playstation.com or the PlayStation Blog, Sony says. As always, you'll still be able to collect in-game Trophies while PSN is offline.

have to agree- what is it- a 2 month cycle and a 16 hour maintenence window now? yet we never notice anything after except for the new patch we have to install about 2 weeks later.
how about you xbox folks- how often is your maintenance?
- more frequent with short time frame?
- non- existant?
- just as long but timed to start on the overnight during US hours?
