Following up on the earlier report today, the PlayStation Network is experiencing some serious technical trouble right now as the service is down, but worst of all are the PS3 games feeling the hurt.

Online play is of course down too ruining the full experience of new arrivals SOCOM 4, Mortal Kombat, Operation Flashpoint: Red River and ...Valve's Portal 2!

This is a horrible situation for PlayStation 3 gamers right now who want to enjoy their new games with friends online, especially the much acclaimed Portal 2 which features and entire online co-op campaign with genius portal-fuelled puzzles to best.

Hopefully the service will return soon. Sony posted the following info:

The PSN is undergoing an outage and currently these services have been affected:

• Qriocity
• PlayStation Store
• Account management

Is this just a bad timed hiccup or something more Anonymously sinister?

Sony certainly is having it's fair share of hassles at present (Hackers and what-not).
