The PlayStation Network will be going down for maintenance on Thursday, February 2, Sony's confirmed.

During the maintenance period the PlayStation Store will not be accessible through console or PC. Customer account management and registration will also be affected. Lastly, Home won't be accessible during the downtime, but it looks like online gaming won't be affected.
As always if you're signed in before maintenance period begins you should remain signed into your online session, but although the services mentioned above will still be unavailable.
If you're stuck for something to do during this period we recommend picking up the latest issue of Scott Snyder's Batman, we've been reading it; it's good. Or you know, go outside or something...

It's in the article 'BUT IT LOOKS LIKE ONLINE GAMING WON'T BE AFFECTED'. There so you can clearly see it now. Sign in before 2 and you're fine.
