PSN Down for Maintenance, Prepping for Store Return?

The Playstation Network has been taken offline again for maintenance from 4:00 p.m. to midnight. This is probably to prep for the return of the playstation store in the next few days. Sony is probably testing the security and connection issues to make sure that the PS store goes online with as little problems as possible. Which is no indicator that this will happen though because it seems that here lately whatever Sony does, comes back to bite them several days later LOL!. But just maybe the store will be back for good so we can get back to downloading are favorite games and themes.
