The PlayStation Network is set to go offline for a period of 16 hours across Europe, Australia, Ireland, New Zealand and the Arab Emirates. The downtime will begin around 4 p.m. GMT on Thursday, July 26, and is set to wrap up by 8 a.m. Friday, July 27. PlayStation Store access, account management, registration, and login servers will be affected.
“If you wish to play online during the maintenance, then you may be able to do so if you sign in to PSN before the start of the maintenance window,” Sony confirmed, ”During this maintenance, you can continue to collect in-game trophies and these will be updated on your profile once PlayStation Network is back up and running.”

I was reading about this (This is the first time i actually noticed the maintenance) but before wasn’t it because of people hacking Sony? I read a article (Not sure if it’s real or not) said a group was fighting for the PS3 players, and Sony had to take their PSN offline so they could fix it…Does that mean this might be someone hacking?
