After the chaos of today's Verizon outage,DMCA many people probably want to just go home, collapse on the couch, and boot up their PlayStation. Unfortunately, it looks as though a second outage may throw a wrench in those plans, with reports pouring in that the PlayStation Network has gone down as well.
SEE ALSO: Verizon outage has now been fixedAccording to crowdsourced tracker DownDetector, reports of a PlayStation Network outage began coming in at approximately 8:30 p.m. EDT / 5:30 p.m. PDT. This was around an hour after Verizon announced that its own massive outage had been fixed. The issue also appears to be global, with outage reports coming in from across the globe.
PlayStation's Network Service Status page has confirmed the outage, stating that "some services are experiencing issues." Such issues may include difficulty signing into your PlayStation account, launching games, accessing PlayStation Video content, or making purchases in the PlayStation Store. So pretty much anything you might have wanted to do on your PlayStation.

Though PlayStation has not yet acknowledged the disruption on its official social media accounts, numerous people have expressed their frustration online.
