I wonder how long it'll take their servers to crash when everyone is trying to download their free games at the same time.

Sony has notified its developer and publisher partners that the PlayStation Store is scheduled to relaunch next Tuesday, May 24, according to a memo obtained by Gamasutra. In the message, PSN content manager Jack Osorno details plans to update the Store twice weekly -- on Tuesdays and Fridays -- for two weeks in order to speed up the release of content that's been delayed due to the outage.

I give it 5 minutes before that happens knowing Sony.

Apparently PSN is going to be down for maintenance today from 10 am to 6PM EDT. According to Sony it's just routine maintenance.

I'd certainly hate to be releasing a new game this week. It'd get buried in the wave of new releases with little/no promotion, or ignored totally for the "free" titles. Even if somebody wanted to purchase it, I doubt the store is going to be in any position to handle the traffic.

Didn't know about this one!

I read about the Fantastic Four table, and thought which produced a "meh" from me. Nothing against the subject of the table, simply that I found the whole Marvel line to be lack-luster compared to the Zen tables.

So, am happy to see they are still pooling some resources to produce tables for Zen!

Sorcerers Lair? I didnt know there was another table out.

We may never get anything since they will be bombarded for the next week with insane traffic.

Of course they need to shut down the network for maintenance. It's been up for a full week already, it's way overdue for maintenance....
