Good luck with getting compensation from a company that don't care, in a courtroom perhaps!

"If you're in Europe and your Thursday afternoon ritual involves spending time on the PlayStation Network, you might want to sort out some alternative plans." Play xbox or PC games.

[citation][nom]Tomfreak[/nom]Why cant they just run a mirror server while the real one is on maintenance?[/citation]
are you seriously suggesting buying a whole playstation network all over again to run it for the one day out of the year that the main one might not be up? I for one am glad you will never run a company.

You dont need to shut down the entire network 1 time.

For ISPs and Google almost 100% uptime is very important so having redundant systems and backups to run during maintenance is something they would have. Sony on the other hand has never said PSN would be 100% uptime and it going down for one day will not hurt anyone (no you are not hurt you are inconvenienced). That is the big difference, an ISP or Google goes down and many companies will lose money, PSN goes down for a day and you lose on playing games for a day, HUGE difference.
