PSN scheduled maintenance set for Thursday evening

Through to Friday morning.

PlayStation Network will be offline Thursday evening for scheduled maintenance, Sony has announced.

It will be down from 4pm UK time Thursday 26th July to 8am Friday 27th July.

The PlayStation Store on PlayStation 3, PlayStation Portable and PS Vita will be offline, as will PSN Account Management and Account Registration.

Sony said you may be able to play online during the maintenance if you sign into PSN before the start of the maintenance window. But the PS Store, PSN Account Management and Account Registration will be offline even if you're signed in.

During the maintenance you can collect in-game trophies, which will be updated on your profile once PSN is up and running again on Friday morning.
