No scheduled maintenance plannedSony may be basking in the glory of a successful PlayStation Experience showing, but its engineers back home are fighting fires as we type. Right now, the PlayStation Network is facing some connection issues, with Lizard Squad claiming responsibility for the outage. The group has been attacking gaming services for several weeks now, also bringing down Xbox Live.
Sadly, given the nature of these attacks - which essentially overload servers with massive waves of fake traffic - they're incredibly hard to combat, so your best hope is that the Japanese giant's able to rectify the situation swiftly. In the meantime, you could tune into our PlayStation Experience live stream, which can be found through here.
Update: Sony's now commented on the outage: "We are aware that users are having issues connecting to PSN. Thanks for your patience as we investigate."
