Gamers who have tried to log onto the PlayStation Network over the past few days have been greeted with an error message and are unable to access any of the online capabilities.

First reported yesterday, Sony has released a statement saying that the problem could last up to two days before the problem is resolved.

"While we are investigating the cause of the Network outage, we wanted to alert you that it may be a full day or two before we're able to get the service completely back up and running."
