I haven't actually had any bother playing games online during the earlier hours of maintenance (at least), and that's me logging in around 5.30pm

Generally that's the case; if you can get authed before they take the system offline you're OK. Still an idiot's thing to do the day after Uncharted 3 comes out though...

Sony do have a knack for that around big releases... Got Uncharted today but too many distractions big and small, might leave it 'til the weekend.

I'd love to finish UC2 before I even think about buying UC3. I think it'll be one of those games that I'll buy when they're around £10.
