The PLAYSTATION®Network will be taken offline during the following times for a scheduled maintenance:

Starting on June 24, 2008, at 8:00 a.m., Pacific Time
Ending on June 24, 2008, at 2:00 p.m., Pacific Time
 
 
During this time, access to the PLAYSTATION Network will be restricted, including:
 

• No access to the PLAYSTATION®Store
• No access to play online games on the PLAYSTATION Network
    

It might very well be for that

What's that GMT?

3PM GMT to 9PM GMT

Damnit, tomorrow is a provincial holiday and I won't have access to the PSN! Oh well, I was going to play Single player modes anyways, but I would have liked the option.

Also, just because they are laying the server framework for 2.40, does not mean they will deploy it to the clients right away.

I hope it finally comes out, Ive been waiting for centuries.

Really?

The PS3 has only been out for 1/50 of a century.

They also did this with the Playstation Store,with restricted acess.It is plausible that this is for 2.40 and that it could be a couple of days away.Hopefully.
