If you’re having trouble connecting to PlayStation Network, you aren’t alone. Sony has acknowledged some current problems with the service.

When issues were reported, we were able to log in, browse the store, and download items. We did receive an error once. Note that your individual experiences might not be reflective of the errors that the service is having.
We’ll update as more information becomes available.
Update: Sony is offering some conflicting information about the PlayStation Network status. The following images were taken one after the other moments ago.

It seems that Sony isn't using all the tools at its disposal, but we now have a bit more information. The company says that servers are undergoing maintenance, though none was announced in advance.
I’d like to ask you to support Game Informer’s continued coverage of games with a subscription. For less than two dollars per issue, we mail you a full year of 10 print magazines, each with cover stories and preview features filled with exclusive details about the most exciting upcoming games. We profile and interview game creators. We look back on the rich history of gaming, and we celebrate what’s next.
Here on the website, we offer much of our content for free, including game reviews, daily news, videos, event coverage, and more – all with minimal ads.
We do so with a small editorial team, alongside contributing paid writers from around the world – over 65 individuals from 9 countries around the world, just in the last couple of years.
It’s not possible without support.
In a time when game makers and games coverage have faced hard struggles and layoffs, the future of this 30+ year magazine and community is at risk. Our new standalone magazine subscription is the number one way you can keep us alive – and we believe you’ll get a pretty fantastic gaming magazine in your mailbox every few weeks for your trouble.
Thank you.
