It was announced by Sony during the morning (day 1) that the PlayStation Network would be entering into a maintenance a little longer, which started today at 14:30 pm (GMT) and will extend until the next day, returning after 05 hours of the morning of day 02 of Brasilia.
The maintenance is already happening, and Sony confirmed that the reason for the prolonged maintenance of this fact was what many expected, ie the return of the Playstation Store. According to a new blog post Playstation, made by Sony communications director, Nick Caplin, the longer break represents a great step for the complete return of all services of the SSP, which has suffered several security breaches in the previous month.
Caplin also says that during this maintenance period, users can not access the PSN, but all those who logged in to the system before the start of maintenance, will remain connected and be able to play normally during this period without any problem. Otherwise, be patient and wait until tomorrow for that.
It was also confirmed that the Playstation Network is scheduled to return this week in most regions of the world, and ends by thanking users for this period of patience, while Sony is working hard to improve the security system of PSN, offering customers the best possible service. But it is important to remember that even if the PSN come back tomorrow at dawn here, it is unclear whether the PlayStation Store will return along with it, so let's be careful and warn any news.
