This is such a clusterfuck. I can't connect to PSN out of fear that my shit will be breaking. Great. Thanks a ton, Sony.

Again, this seems a lot worse than the RROD.

Koreans, ehh? No wonder our PS3's are fucked up. They got zerg rushed.

Sega's plan for the comeback continues! Sabotaging the PS3 during the most crucial month of it's life, and year is going to force Sony out of the business like Sony forced Sega out. It's all making sense now. :eek:

Question for any lawyers out there. SONY released a statement warning users to not turn on their fat PS3s because it might cause the PS3 to be permanately damaged.

Does that statement make SONY more vulnerable to a lawsuit since they are essentially admitting the problem was a result of their own mistake? MS never stated the exact % of failure rates because of this same thing. Just a thought.

Sony never said that. Where did you read this an as official statement from Sony?

Goodness...everyone going crazy over a clock bug. Inconvenient? Sure. Somethign to rage at? How silly.

An unforeseen calendar bug in a secondary level system component vs the highest breakage rate of consoles in the history of the video game industry. These are equal? WORST stealth fanboy rant ever.

Really? An issue that timed itself do to the synchronizing of a battery clock in a few hours causing one day of hysteria compared to essentially a dead system.

Now that's just nutty.

Nice exaggeration there, I'm sure you can occupy yourself for a few hours till it's fixed instead of QQing much

Nothing will break if you turn your console on right now. You simply won't be able to play some games, earn trophies or connect to the PSN. And...wait. Weren't you here yesterday when the news broke?

Hi everyone, on behalf of all Sony employees, I would like to extend my most sincere appologies.
It is my opinion that my company has grown too fast and that what used to be our most important principle, quality, has suffered from it.
Be assured that I will use all of my infinite power in order to get the product line back to the Ps2 quality... * pause *... Errr I mean the Playstation quality .... * pause *... Err sorry I meant the walkman quality.
I take full responsability for any death caused by the sorrow induced lack of PSN or clock dependant gaming.

The RROD never crippled all Xbox 360's at once nor did it effect development due to debug units being stuck on some endless looping error. This is fucking annoying and it's not just because people can't play video games and there's no guarantee that this will simply fix itself or be fixed easily.

Maybe I'm being overly harsh but to me, this is about the same as the RROD issues.

Oh, a quality control joke. Oh..ahaha. Shouldn't you be on a XBox 360/Zune thread?

Overreact much? That was an issue where your console was fried. This is a case of some odd coding error that Sony should be able to patch (or may correct itself in 4 hours) relatively easily. Worse than the RROD issue? :lol

Ok, last update.
So I took apart the PS3 (phat 20gig), unplugged the battery (it's not where the japanese pictures said it would be), left it out for ten minutes and then reassembled.

PS3 running again.
Got on PSN fine
played Heavy Rain fine
Theme are all ok
No corrupted saves
Earned a trophy fine
Turned ps3 off then back on and the trophy is ok
All the time stamps the system time seem ok
IF there is anything else someone wants me to check on let me.

Yeah I'd say so. This is an issue that either will fix itself or be patched to fix. Doesn't even require a towel!
