  In light of this maintenance, The Store will update at 1pm today. PS Plus content is being uploaded at noon, with a couple of extra little bits.

NOT COOL!

I was waiting for the Mortal Kombat demo. Shutting down PSN before it arrives is just out of order

I don’t [Deleted] around because the US update occur a full 24 hours before us in a digital world where time doesn’t really matter, but doing a maintenance during the usual playstation store update? Now that’s extremely [Deleted].

Terrible timing, Sony dudes. What about the weekly PSN store update?

Must we constantly have our downtime arranged for the convenience of the US? Europe is the region that shows the most love to Sony, and we still consistently get the short end of the stick.

Hopeless.

It would be only logical to give us the store update a day early as in today!!

I for one will not make it in time to log in and game on-line and now I will miss the MK demo as well. This is unacceptable.

“Guys, its one night. i think we can all survive without playing online for a bit.”

you can tell that to SCEA & SCEJ but i can tell you this they be Pe*d of as well every maintenance we have so Far is at tea-time when SCEA & SCEJ are sleeping.

so as to Not rock the boat with the 2 other regions EU gets shafted like we get shafted with content because we use to it, but that time is a long maintenance. :|

We Europeans are always the most affected by this…

And it’s on a Wednesday! What about this week’s store update?

Can we at least know the reasons behind these maintenances? I miss the days PSN’s maintenances and software updates came along with new features.

Excuse my language this is just so stupid.. I meant to say that if you look back on the blog the MK demo will be with us on Wednesday.

Why promise us an exclusive and after worth make it not so exclusive by scheduling maintenance on the worst time and day of the week.

Well in that case you can cease gaming, because at one point or another a company will want you to bend over :(

With that said, still not happy with the maintenance – you should really postpone the maintenance to 3 hrs later…

Why do these always happen at our peak gaming times? I understand it has to be across the world at the same time, but why does it always fall wrong for us? Why can’t it fall wrong for America for once? Or Japan? It always seems to be Europe that gets hit at the peak time. Nothing against you James, i know it’s not your fault.

Seriously, guys. Get a grip. The store update will be early. Simples. Watch and learn.

And live life. There’s a big wide open space out there. Use the time to re-evaluate and read your pathetic comments back to yourselves. This is borderline pathetic at it’s finest.

To Sony – What can I say. We have it rough. lol.

typical – to be honest playing online or not isn’t the problem – it’s the store updating – some people have been waiting a long time for some games to be released and it’s just not acceptable

so as the US store updates today it’s obviously not a store update nor do I think it’s any type of fix for any of the games from last week like Stardrone which instead of being a game seemed to be a playstation error code generator which was thrilling for half a second

btw according to US blog (reply in regards to Europe) games that won awards recently will be discounted for us as well – let me guess the 11 hour maintence for SCEE to translate American to English or to whatever European language because we might not grasp the cultural significance of the words DUDE or AWESOME
