Well, friend, it's important to remember that sometimes things need a little break to get even better. The PlayStation Network may be down for a short while to make sure everything is running smoothly and bringing joy to all its users.

Answer 2

The PlayStation Network is done for 'unscheduled maintenance' and may be down for another day or two(day after Easter monday or 2 days after Easter monday. Sony has admitted that the problem may have been caused by an unknown 'outside party', leading to speculation that the PlayStation Network has been targeted by a DDOS or hacking attack. Apparently it could yet be another day or two before the system is back up and running, indicating the severity of the attack.
