Support NeoGAF

[Shao Kahn Brewing a Stew]

Funny how searching "neogaf" on google shows you this thread

Despite popular belief, the people on NeoGAF actually play games!

:lol :lol

 

[Mattlikewhoa]

This thread is growing with the quickness...It's hard to keep up :lol

Anyways I just want to finish FF XIII tonight so....

 

[harriet the spy]

I am probably super LTTP, but.. I have a 60g, and it works all fine. PSN, trophies, offline (Heavy Rain) and online games (MW2). Should I stop using it in case it breaks, or am I part of a lucky group of people for whom everything will go fine?

 

[Starfish_Oxide]

You have to enjoy the irony that its the "Clock Battery" responsible for all this. The old overlapping Battery Charge/Clock XMB problem wasn't a GUI error. It was a warning!

The Mayans ....its all so clear now..

 

[NomarTyme]

what are the odds that the clock will go to February 30? :lol. and then February 31st. :lol.

I hope this doesn't delay my psn update on thursday.

*twilightzonesong*

 

[SecretBonusPoint]

Is this proof that American time pwns lame british GMT time ?

*facepalm*

 

[British Monsoon]

So who gets to be the guinea pig at 12:00AM GMT?

I don't mind, my PS3's been on since before the glitch anyways :lol

 

[Madman]

these doesn't work, only the CMOS battery thingy and this GMT thingy

I haven't seen anyone say they actually tried it. And trying to find that information in the various massive threads all over the place would be hard.

But thanks for responding anyways.

As a side, the SonyPlaystation twitter account is getting a huge amount of followers now. 1 new follower a second or more seemingly. :lol

Shit will just happen, like puberty, voice changing, and balls dropping. It will just happen.

 

[X-Burner]

I hope this is fixed before GOW comes out

Dude that's 15 days. :lol

 

[Oozinator]

Sony are waiting, and drinking Mohitio's while reclining in deck chairs

WTF man, I've seen you in this thread all day long :lol , where do you live ? go have some sleep

 

[cedric69]

Nice clusterfuck of a problem. All in all, I don't think Sony deserves the problem fixing itself.

Let's see how they solve this the hard way. It's gonna be funnier.

PS
I own a PS3 fat. :lol

 

[YuriLowell]

Like everyday.

 

[lowrider007]

...

Hows it going mate?, any success yet ?

 

[Dreams-Visions]

winrar.

 

[bj00rn_]

Oh shit, I was wondering why my PS3 couldn't sign in and why it has a ugly ass pink background...

 

[W1SSY]

I think it's impossible to make a firmware, test it on all models and release it when they can investigate the issue to make a good patch in 2/3 days and let the thing resolve in 6 hours.

Sems like a bold thing to do, they could introduce worst bugs for launching it without proper testing :S

I can't see them releasing a patch if it does fix itself because they would have to rush the patch which could lead to more problems.

They will have to find a solution at some time so this will not happen again though.

Haha.. Or we like to bitch about not being able to play games that we would otherwise not play.

 

[Valkyr Junkie]

Krazy Ken is probably pissed that the suits wouldn't let him use the Meiji calendar dates like he originally wanted.

Yup, you're probably completely fine. -.-

Not 100% sure, but so far that's the way it seems.

 

[Danielsan]

So, has this thread reached E3 conference levels of posts per minute or not? :lol

 

[Lion Heart]

Its a great day for Jtyettis....?

Amazon always knows when to send emails.

 

[Vanille]

For those who are in Japan/Asia and who's PS3 had the clock problem. Is your PS3 fixed now? It's March 2 1:54 AM here (Hong Kong time).

Anyone wants to take a shot at this one.... Starts with a G and ends with a T.

EDIT: ^^^ You win!!

 

[nero2082]

I'm thinking about bugging my fatty PS3.

You know, freebies incoming :lol

If you knew him, you would understand.

sooooo not funny.

idunno, but i'm reading FAIL gifs just in case 0:00GMT = still broken PS3's.

I think they have one guy staring at a clock, when that clock strikes 00:00 GMT that one guy will send a confirmed or denied email.

:lol :lol :lol

 

[ULTROS!]

Oh, I didn't know it was GMT based, my bad. :lol

 

[polyh3dron]

So simple to understand, and yet we are at page 109 :lol

We don't know for sure that it will jump back to march 2010 though, it very well could just start counting from where it is in 1999 for all we know.

:lol :lol :lol

 

[TTP]

So, is this more or less embarassing than the 360s that couldn't download game patches or the update to NXE because they didn't have NXE? It's certainly a lot more amusing. :lol

It's neither. It's different. Not being able to play most of your games (besides not being able to connect to the PSN) is what freaks most off. Had this be a simple PSN issue (no online for 24hr, but games work fine), we wouldn't have this thread nor the news headline.

Of course RROD is worse than this, but it doesn't affect millions of systems simultaneously, hence every failure it goes by without a blink in the media. Just like YLOD.

 

[Mr. Luchador]

I'm sitting here, waiting for my Fat PS3 to grow wings and start spouting fire at me any minute now.

 

[cory]

Any chance Slims will hit the problem at 12:00 UTC?

 

[xero273]

For those who are in Japan/Asia and who's PS3 had the clock problem. Is your PS3 fixed now? It's March 2 1:54 AM here (Hong Kong time).

I believe the system clock for those ps3s are still at feb 29. You'll have to wait until tonight for the answer

 

[Danielsan]

we can call it the Sony Gamer's Holiday.

"Sony encourages you to take every 4th March 1st off to go play outside. We recommend walks, bike rides, and enjoying women."

Also thanks for posting this image.
Didn't know there was a Kevin Butler MAG commercial.
Soooo good. :lol

 

[Gomu Gomu]

I'm tempted to turn on my launch 60GB PAL PS3. What are the odds that it won't be affected? :lol

slim *ba dum tis*

 

[Struct09]

I can only imagine the hell that the consumer service reps and software/hardware engineers are going through right now. May you guys land on your feet after this is over.

 

[BruceWayneIII]

Hows it going mate?, any success yet ?

Oh no, we might have to call 911 again. That's the second time in a one-day thread. Amazing!:lol

 

[TTP]

We don't know for sure that it will jump back to march 2010 though, it very could just start counting from where it is in 1999 for all we know.

That wouldn't be a problem either since whatever the date the inner clock thinks it is, it will match with software calendar expectations and be overlapped with the actual time.

 

[agaru]

So, has this thread reached E3 conference levels of posts per minute or not? :lol

Wait until there's 15 minutes or less to midnight GMT. It will explode.

Soooo good. :lol

You don't get rid of him as a VP... You just fucking don't! He'll fuck your PS3 up!

 

[harriet the spy]

Not 100% sure, but so far that's the way it seems.

Pheww. Not sure what i did to be one of the lucky ones, but I feel bad for those affected.

At least it happened at the end of the weekend. If it had been on a friday..

 

[bj00rn_]

It now says "corrupted data" on my dynamic themes. What else is corrupted... Oh well.

 

[Mad_Ban]

Its a great day for Jtyettis....?

:lol

 

[Salz01]

As a 'Fat' PS3 owner, I dont expect 'freebies' coming. Since the PSN is a 'free' service and we dont need to pay to use it.

 

[ULTROS!]

So uh... Who's pre-Slim PS3 wasn't affected by the disaster?
