PSA: PSN is down, Sony's 'working to resolve the issue' [update: it's back]


Nope, that guy didn't just rage quit on your Super Street Fighter IV match ... it's worse.

PlayStation Network's down, we're sorry to say. It seems that Sony wasn't planning the outage, as a Twitter message from the company states that its "working to resolve the issue," without acknowledging what led to the sudden loss of service. Interestingly, the message is only directed at "some of you," rather than "everyone," so let us know if your service isn't experiencing any hiccups -- two of our US-based staff members were unable to connect as of this writing. Sony also notes that it'll keep folks updated via Twitter, so keep an eye out. Update: It appears to be back in operation, for us at least. Is PSN down for you right now? Yup, it's down for me in North America! Yup, it's down for me in Europe! Yup, it's down for me somewhere else! Nope, all clear here. I can't check because I have a real job, you lazy monsters. I just wanted to mention that I think PSN is junk and that's why it's down. Also, I'm a troll. Vote
