Sony prep Killzone 2 servers ahead of release

Major PSN traffic expected

Word on the street this morning has it that Sony are readying the PlayStation Network for the inevitable onslaught that will follow Killzone 2's long awaited release in Europe and the US this Friday.

PS3Attitude report that Killzone 2's servers should be up and running later today, well ahead of the game's full global release at the end of the week.

Inevitably, Sony and Guerrilla's technical types are expecting a large influx of players, so it seems they're hoping to get all the hatches battened-down before the big kick-off.

We loved Killzone 2, and we urge you to check it out.
