Earlier Post:

I know this might be old news, but according to the PlayStation blog, PSN may be down for a day or two. No reason for the outage has been cited as of this writing. It's also unconfirmed whether the recent attacks of "Anon" on the PSN are related to the said outage.

It's been down since yesterday at around 1:00 PM here in the Philippines. Upon signing in to PSN, you'll encounter the error 80710A06 screen, so if you're wondering if it's your connection, it's not.

Up until now, no official update has been released. Stay tuned for updates.
