SCEE’s confirmed that PSN will be undergoing a minor maintenance later today and all services will be disrupted for a short while.

The downtime will be for only three hours, with the service going down at 3 pm and coming back at 6 pm, Sony, however confirmed it won’t affect PSN activity.

“A small number of user may experience an error attempting to download content during this period and the error message may appear: ’80022f10 – communication with server failed,” said a UK community mod on the PlayStation forums.

“If this occurs starting the download process again and this content should go through as normal.”

This only applies to a minor group of people, as Sony’s pointed out.
