@11:55PDT PSN has been reported as partially down.

according to "DownDetector" it appears mostly to be afffecting the UK and parts of the UE, although there is some impact in NA as well, just not as harsh- could be based on the fact that it's evening in the EU, so more people are encountering issues...

Oh, I refreshed the map and in the space of a few minutes the NA activity grew, as did the EU, and now some reports from JPN. Looks like a widespread issue for PSN unfortunately.

XBL is suffering similar issues;

Smells like the cockroach squad are in action again...
