Thanks for making the potential destruction of the Playstation brand fun.

:lol :lol

 

[EazyB]

Mine's working now. Bout damn time. Don't know if the trophies are out of wack but I don't give a shit.

 

[silentmac]

80 GB BC MGS4 model still not working...

(Although strangely, I have cross-game chat now)

 

[Dreams-Visions]

good try, Microsoft. good try.

 

[Dipswitch]

Mines working too. Such an anticlimactic ending to it all. First time I can recall being disappointed that one of my electronic devices didn't burst into flames

 

[user friendly]

Ok guys.

Back in. But.

My Heavy Rain trophies were lost. I was at 61% right before the stupid mishap. I resynched and only 5% of my trophies registered for Heavy Rain.

This really sucks. Wasting my valuable time here.

Try it again. I got all my lost trophies back.

 

[Covfan]

Mine is still buggered. 40GB here.

 

[Windom Earle]

FOR ALL 40GB USERS.

GO TO INTERNET CONNECTION TEST. YOU SHOULD BE ABLE TO CONNECT TO PSN.

THEN GO SIGN INTO PSN.

VOILA, PS3 WORKS!!!!


40GB fat

TRUE DAT!

 

[Mad_Ban]

Holy fucking shit!! :lol :lol :lol

 

[Audioboxer87]

Page 155 over 24 hours of downtime, believe :lol

 

[Costanza]

Been at class all day. Apparently some systems are working now? NICE.

 

[Oni Jazar]

IT"S NOT WORKING FOR ME (60GB) WAAHHHHHHHHHH

I tried the Test Internet Connection and Enable/Disable tricks.

 

[Hag]

Cool, my 80gb Motorstorm bundle with BC just come back to the present! But I think I lost my WKC trophies. ):

Gonna try my MvC 2 and some stuff now.

 

[WickedCobra03]

This is serious business, those who lie about getting back on should get the boot!

Nah brah. I am on right now. Final Fantasy VIII and Super Street Fighter HD Remix work again!

 

[DietRob]

So wait I went to make a sandwich and boom just like that it's fixed???

Can we turn our PS3's on?

 

[voodooray]

Spoiler

Too soon?

 

[Agent X]

And I'm back to report success!

Date is being shown as 2/28/2010.

While my system was glitched, the time was showing as 6:41 every time I reset the system. Perhaps it has to actually reach the "glitched" time before it corrects itself.

[Magnus]

I totally underestimated how much people care about trophies and achievements. Wow :lol

 

[Mama Robotnik]

Holy shit. Sony has made the front page of one of the UK's most widely-read newspapers.

Can see it here if you need proof.

Sony. The main story on the UK's third/fourth most read newspaper.

Publicity gods.

[dreamer3kx]

Xbots sigh around the world.

 

[Vanille]

Half an hour of RTC drift over four years isn't particularly amazing. It's a pretty accurate sign that some people won't be fixed until half an hour -after- actual GMT midnight because theirs drifted the other way, so don't freak out if it rolls over and you're still broken.

Yeah, but that still doesn't explain why they all screwed up at the same time.

 

[Downhome]

Ok, I just got in on my MGS4 80GB.

My date says 2/28 6:58 though. I'll go see if I can fix that.

EDIT:

Used the "set using internet" option or whatever and it is now 3/1/2010 6:44.

 

[noah111]

Holly shit pages are going by like seconds. :lol

 

[nyong]

Interesting that PS3's are fixing themselves 30 minutes before the expected time.

My guess is that the internal clock is running fast on most. :lol

With all the wonky dates I'm not convinced yet that all is well. Also, not everyone is up and running yet. And trophies/saves are missing for some. It's looking promising, but this is still a fiasco.

I refuse to even turn mine on to check until the stroke of midnight.

 

[Kolgar]

My early 80-gig, non-BC fatty appears to be OK.

Date came up as 2/28/10, but trophies, etc., seem all right.

 

[Baha]

Interesting that PS3's are fixing themselves 30 minutes before the expected time.

My guess is that the internal clock is running fast on most. :lol

That's why you have an OS clock to keep it on time. Brothers, we made it!

 

[yurinka]

Sony PR: This is thanks to the unmatched power of the CELL. It's too fast even to resurrect.

 

[Dedication Through Light]

So wait I went to make a sandwich and boom just like that it's fixed???

Can we turn our PS3's on?

yeah turn her on!

 

[Ashour]

I don't trust you.... I don't trust ANY of you..... I'm leaving my PS3 off permanently to be safe.

 

[AKingNamedPaul]

I'm back baby!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

[Zombie James]

So wait I went to make a sandwich and boom just like that it's fixed???

Can we turn our PS3's on?

Yes. Sync your clock and Trophies, all should be well.

 

[bigfurb]

Back up and running

 

[geinou]

Lots of happy relieved faces at the Sony HQ. I guess. :lol

 

[EraldoCoil]

today we celebrate our independence day!

I like this theory. My time was stuck at 6:35pm, and that's around exactly the time when things began working again.

 

[The_Reckoning]

Oh but there's a new beginning. The beginning of our quest for....free copies of GoWIII!

Get complainin' people!

Well in that case, this is outrageous Sony, a god damned Greek tragedy. We demand blood! Preferrably from Greek gods!

 

[andymcc]

mine is working 40gb fat...

time is still wrong though. :lol

 

[JB1981]

Xbots sigh around the world.

LOL

So wait .. should we sync trophies first before going into a game?

 

[distantmantra]

Only North America PSN get the scrolling captions

Japanese PSN also has them.

 

[gotee12]

Mine is still buggered. 40GB here.

Try unplugging the power cord from the wall. Seriously. My 80GB signed back in first try with no trophy damage AFTER I unplugged the power from the wall. Before that, I couldn't get anything to work right.

 

[jetles]

what movie is this from?

 

[BravoSuperStar]

i do go out of my way to avoid memes it's true

Smarter than the average gaffer. =)

 

[Yopis]

Hey guys I can sign back in and wing commander 4 works along with all my games. Glad I survived this was almost out of water and cigarettes.

 

[the_log_ride]

Holy shit, is that a new vidcon?

 

[Chakan]

40GB model here working 100%.

Corrupted themes are ok, saves are ok, trophies are ok.

Piece of advice...adjust the clock before doing anything else. After that run the game which you may think you lost you trophies, then check the trophies from inside the game and only after that exit the game and resync the trophies.

Worked here and my trophies are all there.

 

[Razor210]

I am back...however:

Isn't it still saying that the time is 11:45 GMT time...on february 28th? Is it possible that this could all happen again?

 

[JeStaH]

My 80GB MGS4 didn't fix itself, but after trying user friendlys suggestion it works now!

 

[Castor Krieg]

PS3 can fix itself given some time, superior console confirmed.:lol

I love all the threads that appeared over the Internet today saying this is the same as RRoD, PS3 is doomed, FFXIII X360 preorders on the rise due to bug, people taking their PS3s to GAME for refund. Got to love mankind's stupidity.
