Yes, it’s that part of the day where we get to check in on fun things that are broken while you’re doing actual work. Today’s fun thing that’s broken is PlayStation Network (PSN).
People are saying things like this:
PSN is down so instead of a few frames of street fighter I have to read a bloody BOOK

This man is threatening to read a book and I feel really bad for him. What’s wrong with you, Sony? Why isn’t the PlayStation Network up? Its Twitter helpline is trying to triage the issues.
First things first, talk to your local support team.

Is that like AA for gamers?
PlayStation Network has had its share of issues; let’s hope this time is nothing major.
Its status update page is a little hard to follow, but there are red dots, which probably means something is wrong.
We’ve reached out to Sony for comment and will update once we hear back.
We never heard back from Sony about this, but the status page shows that all systems are go.
