Here’s a friendly reminder that the official PlayStation meeting will be broadcasted tomorrow at 12:00pm Pacific / 3:00pm Eastern.

What we know so far is that a Slim PS4 will be announced, along with the much-rumored upgraded console, PlayStation 4 NEO. Aside from that, we aren’t sure what to expect, though another rumor is suggesting that Red Dead Redemption and it’s sequel will be announced at the presentation.
No planned maintenance has been announced, though it appears that the network is down as of right now.
UPDATE – The official status page has been updated showing that gaming and social networking are down. Asked Playstation official twitter has also acknowledged the issue at hand.
Original –
The official status page states that account management is having issues and everything else is up, though
We can confirm ourselves that the “undergoing maintenance” error appears when attempting to log-in.
Reports are also coming in from twitter and reddit, pointing that it’s down in both North America and Europe.
Seeing that the PlayStation event is tomorrow, this possible maintenance could be in preparation for the new firmware update 4.00. The firmware is set to launch a whole list of new features that the community has been requesting, though no date has been given for the release of the firmware.
Amidst all the Call of Duty: Infinite Warfare and Call of Duty: Modern Warfare Remastered hype, don’t forget that there’s still something to look forward to when it comes to last year’s Call of Duty.
