Will the Playstation store update before the maintenance?
Posted on 9 March, 2011 at 9:39 am by James Gallagher
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].

I was hoping to download BTTF and Ridge Racer Type 4 tomorrow

Not very good timing, I look forward to downloading and watching First Play and seeing what’s new in the store on a Wednesday evening.

Is this the time when Store update occurs??

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.
18
Posted on 8 March, 2011 at 2:12 pm by ShutenDoji23
aye a early store would be nice….I hope someone is listening?

Posted on 8 March, 2011 at 2:13 pm by Carnivius_Prime
@9 Ridge Racer Type 4 is out tomorrow is it? I didn’t even know it was coming out anytime soon. It’s one of my most wanted PS1 downloads.

Posted on 8 March, 2011 at 2:13 pm by kivi95
Why can’t people wait one more day? Think that we used too have the updates on Thursdays.

Posted on 8 March, 2011 at 2:16 pm by Skookie30
the store be up early before the maintenance hits like it happen last time on a wednesday i know they could do it before SCEA store updates, but as you know when it comes to maintenance there will have to be a loser to suffer that loser is EU region.
this maintenance was long over-due and after Last week store Error it was perfect timeing.
22
Posted on 8 March, 2011 at 2:17 pm by ShutenDoji23

Posted on 8 March, 2011 at 2:19 pm by Klart
Damnit, could your timing be any worse?

Posted on 8 March, 2011 at 2:20 pm by ani123
So will I be able to download BTTF before 16:05? What a stupid time to do this!
25
Posted on 8 March, 2011 at 2:22 pm by Shou_Kobayashi
Seriously guys?
Wednesday is our store update and most of people are coming home at around 6 P.M. with no means to play online? Can’t you delay it ’til 7 P.M.?
26
Posted on 8 March, 2011 at 2:24 pm by Skookie30
“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.

terrible, sony if you don’t want this market then do it now instead of keeping screwing up Eurogamers !
31
Posted on 8 March, 2011 at 2:29 pm by MrLopes
Don’t make the store update earlier tomorrow.. something has to be done today!!!! I want that mortal kombat demo!!!!
32
Posted on 8 March, 2011 at 2:29 pm by Chaosprower
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.
33
Posted on 8 March, 2011 at 2:30 pm by mikkelito
isnt the mortal kombat demo suposed to up to day for plus members and every one else on the 15th? and maintenance is on the 9th? so we should get the MK demo before maintenance? i damn hope so.
34
Posted on 8 March, 2011 at 2:33 pm by MrLopes
No it is clearly stated what we will get on wensday.. MK demo.. so somebody [DELETED] up today..
35
Posted on 8 March, 2011 at 2:36 pm by MrLopes
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.
36
Posted on 8 March, 2011 at 2:37 pm by Murphy2k8
This is why next gen I am not going for the Sony console. You constantly shaft us over.
37
Posted on 8 March, 2011 at 2:39 pm by valkyrio
Great timing Sony
I was looking forward to download the Assassin’s Creed Brotherhood DLC and to play some KZ3 MP tomorrow.
Can’t you guys do maintenance on mondays or so ?
38
Posted on 8 March, 2011 at 2:41 pm by zadorvp
What a poor choice of time xD Guess I’ll have to wait until Thursday for this week to be good.

Posted on 8 March, 2011 at 2:42 pm by Murphy2k8
@ 35.
Everyone in SCEE just rolls over and has not got the guts to stand up and say something.

@Murphy2k8
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…

what a bunch of impatient whiney crybabies some of you people are…

I’m with flamingcarrot its not right do it 3am onwards.

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.

Waaaaahhhhhhhh wHeRz my UpLoAoAooDZZZZ!!!
Sigh.
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.

Posted on 8 March, 2011 at 2:48 pm by ShowerMan23
why do we always get screwed every time there a maintenance who do we blame SCEE or what stop treating us like lemons
46
Posted on 8 March, 2011 at 2:54 pm by gypsiee
Best remember to download Mortal Kombat on Wednesday morning then before I go to work!
47
Posted on 8 March, 2011 at 2:56 pm by OneManTagTeam
I agree with Murphy2k8. SCEE are just little gimps who do as their master tells them
48
Posted on 8 March, 2011 at 2:57 pm by chalky83
good timing, bravo Sony!
would there ever be any maintenance during a store update for Japan or USA? I don’t think so.

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
