Sony is sending in the engineers to hit the PlayStation Network servers with hammers for 11 hours on Monday.

The company announced today that it plans to shut down the service from 11 a.m. to 10 p.m. EST on March 4. Sony’s online service won’t sign-in gamers during that time, but if you’re already logged in, you can keep playing games online. Throughout the downtime, no one will have access to the PlayStation Store.

This scheduled maintenance will also bring down PlayStation Home … how will I go on living?
