At the time this question was asked, Sony had suffered a security breach and thousands of customers' data was compromised. As part of their security measures, Sony closed the PSN to prevent further intrusion while they examined the breach.

The network may be offline for maintenance at various times.

Service was restored to most users on May 14, 2011 after the outage of April 20, 2011. Users were required to reset their passwords and download new software to connect to the network.

(to check the network status, see the related link)
