Sony has announced that there will be a scheduled maintenance for the PlayStation Network. The network - including the PlayStation Store - will be offline on April 14, 2008 from 8 AM PST until 11 PM PST of the same day. The announcement notes that "it is not anticipated that this will affect other PlayStation Network services."

During the scheduled maintenance, upgrades to the PlayStation Store will finally take place, bringing new content and aesthetic and operational changes. The revamped PlayStation Store will be launched on April 15, but before users can access the store, they will first be prompted to update their Sony PS3 firmware to 2.30.

Sony has already announced the changes and features that the new PlayStation 3 firmware will give us, namely DTS-HD Master Audio and DTS-HD High Resolution Audio features for Blu-ray movies. In our previous report about these changes to be included in PS3 firmware 2.30, we were also treated by Sony to a short video showing the revamped PlayStation Store.

Check back for updates on the PlayStation Network and the PlayStation Store.

Thanks to PolishPride212 for the tip!

# I the 14-15 already? — platon 2008-04-13 14:40

I though the revamp was for the 17, with the general updates. Bah, that's cool for us... I mean, everybody but me... the 16-17 and 18 I have exams...

16: Motivation and emotions

17: Psychopathology

18: Science methodology applied in psychology

21: Statistics 1

22: Social psychology

so I won't grace the store with my presence... sadly. Not before the 22.

Till then, have fun you lucky fellows!

Yup I'm betting on it happening around 11pm today.

# platon, I Alway Thought You Were A Little Crazy — CHUCKINGROCKSATSPACESHIPS 2008-04-14 01:08

# Was bored — XxCH3AT3RxX 2008-04-14 10:15

I was bored so I decided to take a picture on my horrible SDTV, but for the people who can't get on PS3 to see this is basically all that it is when you enter PS Store...

# its only... — Sephiroth_Darko 2008-04-14 18:08

like that because they haven't fully uploaded all the info. at times if you wait long enough, a pic will show up. but by midday tomorrow, it should be 100%
