UPDATE: PSN suddenly down, errors preventing access

Though there’s no scheduled maintenance, the PlayStation Network is currently down and inaccessible due to error code 80710D36.
There’s no reason to panic quite yet, but here are just a few of the tweets we’ve been seeing that site both errors and other issues preventing Network access.
On the plus side, looks like #Steam is up and running again; guess I’ll go here vice #PSN which seems down atm
