PSN maintenance coming up today

The PlayStation Network will be down briefly early morning today as part of scheduled maintenance.

Sony announced the maintenance ahead of time, confirming that it'll only take 30 minutes to be performed.

It kicks off on August 15 at 4am your local time, and goes on until 4:30am. During the downtime, you'll still be able to sign into PSN, play games, and use most apps.

The PlayStation Store, PlayStation Video, and Account Management will not be available, however. This means you won't be able to create a new account, or change anything on your account during the downtime, not to mention purchase new content.

There's not much else to note here, just that you should be aware of the downtime in case you wanted to buy something on the store during those 30 minutes.
