According to Joystiq, the PlayStation Network will be down tomorrow from noon to 2PM EST for "maintenance," conveniently timed as Sony is set to have a press conference at the GamesCom event.
While the service is down, PSP and PS3 gamers will not be able to play online or access the store.
Rumors have been floating around that the store is closed so Sony can release, unannounced, firmware 3.0 which could possibly bring software emulation for PS2 backwards compatibility.
GamesCom is the expected announcement date for long awaited PS3 price cuts.
