PSN and Wipeout server maintenance [Latest - Wipeout servers down 26 Feb from 9am to 5pm GMT]

[Hellfire_WZ]

Just so we can keep everyone up to date with any online service issues, I've set this thread up to report any downtime in either the PSN or the Wipeout servers.

The PSN will be going down for scheduled maintenance today at 16:00 until tomorrow morning at 8:00. Until then, online services will be unavailable. However, if you sign in before then and remain signed in, you will still be able to play games online during that window.

PSN outages due to maintenance can occur differently; globally [rare], usually security related; or by country [usually around twice a month now days] or individual games [more often, as in HD/FURY case, due to 2048 Crossplay issues]

What I'm trying to get across is these PSN outages for maintenance can quite often be "Country Specific" and so one PSN maintenance alert might not effect another country.
I remember this happened quite a lot in the early days of HD when the first AVALON events were being organised, we were all set to go for the 2nd meet when the French PSN went down, but all the others were still up.

Anyway, for those in the AUS/NZ region, if you want to know of any planned PSN outages in the AUS/NZ area, see the Announcements & Community events section of the AUS/NZ Sony Playstation forum at the link below..

Maybe if those in the other none English language countries could post links to their countries version of the official Sony Playstation forums section where these planned maintenance alerts are located, it would make it easy for everybody to be on the same page, or at least be able to cross reference where a possible online problem might lay.

Sorry, should have mentioned. This is in the EU.

If anyone does get any news in other territories, please do post it here.

I know this has been noted in the Omnium Tournament thread, but I've considered giving the notice here too.

SEN will be under maintenance between 17/01/2013 (16:00 UTC) and 18/01/2013 (04:00 UTC).
