PSN is down for many — Sony is working to repair

It’s Friday night, and PlayStation Network isn’t alright.

Sony’s gaming service is offline for many PlayStation console owners, according to the PSN status page. Hundreds of gamers are reporting difficulties using the service as well on social networks like Twitter. This outage is preventing players from logging onto PSN, and that is giving people error messages when they attempt to boot up games that rely on a connection to a server. Even players who can get onto the service are encountering troubles starting up online multiplayer games or booting up video services like Amazon, Netflix, and Hulu.
