what movie is this from?

500 days of summer, and fuck yeahhhh it works

 

[Stop It]

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.

Very good point, I think it also shows how fickle these systems can be.

PS3 sets date to 29/02 accidentally "Oh, this date cannot be right, let's do a time warp! *kablamo*"
PS3 sets date to 01/03 "Ah, that's all OK now, wee".
If this does one thing, it may go some way to explaining just why people were so worried about the Y2K bug.

I haven't turned my PS3 on since the crisis started, until just now (it's a 60 GB purchased in July 2007):

6:45 PM EST: Date on my PS3 reads 2/28 6:45 PM, PSN auto sign in works
6:46 PM EST: Did a date and time update via Internet, date on my PS3 is now 3/1 6:46 PM EST


No loss of anything.

 

[Nihilistic Monk]

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

 

[chubigans]

60GB back alive here.

BTW, I was fiddling with the GMT settings in the XMB and... I just realized a 3D Earth similar to the one in Earth music visualizer shows up in the background of the GMT setting menu. Is this new? Never noticed before. It even rotates depending on highlighted timezones/cities.

Been there for a long time. Pretty spiffy.

SONY YOU MOTHERFUCKERS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! ARRRRRRRGH!!!!

First thing I did was pop in Demon's Souls AND YOU MOTHER FUCKERS RESET MY TROPHIES! I STILL DON'T HAVE MY GODDAMN TROPHIES YOU ASSHOLES!

 

[Wizpig]

today we all had a taste of a ps3less life, and it fucking sucks

 

[gofreak]

Doesn't work for everyone and I've tried those tricks.

Just hang on. It only means that your clock is probably more accurate than the rest of us Systems could come back anytime between now and maybe up to half an hour or more after midnight gmt. The clocks aren't all synched.

God damn that was a long nap. I went from 1999 to 2020.

[user_nat]

Millions of non-gamers, potential customers, fucking millions of them will be reading about how the PS3s are unrelaiable. This will be become fact to them.

This is concentrated PR poison!

The article will probably mention that new models were unaffected.

what movie is this from?

The Matrix.

 

[DMeisterJ]

Sniff

I'll miss this thread.

We'll always have ApocalyPS3

[Windom Earle]

Thanks for all the hard work to Sony!

Get the Blu-ray and play it on your PS3 NOW!

 

[NeoUltima]

No longer 1999...? How does I party likes its 2010?

 

[Stuggernaut]

Internet update fixed mine...all is well again

 

[Ninja_Hawk]

So the system corrected itself or Sony did something, because I can't get my PS3 online yet, I haven't had it on since this whole fiasco started and I don't want to if I have to wait until the system is connected online?

 

[Replicant]

Xbots sigh around the world.

:lol :lol :lol

 

[Shao Kahn Brewing a Stew]

I disabled/enabled Internet like I saw earlier in this thread. Signed into PSN fine. Updated clock via Internet fine.

I had 74% trophies in Heavy Rain before this problem started.

I now have 0%. So yea, just a little fucking pissed off right now.

If any trophies don't show up, start the game, exit and resync the trophies. For some games, you might have to play for a minute or so and then exit.

 

[yurinka]

Wait guys! The PSN monkey is coding the patch! He only has 10 minutes left!

 

[Corto]

Let us just hold hands and hug... You guys are awesome, all is well, the world is ok again.

 

[DietRob]

Cue the celebratory gifs!!!!!

This thread ddddelivered!

Now exit DS and resynch. Should work.

 

[TTP]

My system still ain't working as well. The internal clocks probably aren't synced; all systems should start working again within the next hour or so.

Try setting your time zone to GMT 0. Mine was GMT +1 when I tried and it didn't work. I set it to GMT +0 and boom! It works. Not sure if coincidence.

It works fine now that I've set it back to GMT +1

RISE FROM YOUR GRAVE

 

[SpacePirate Ridley]

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.

And in the night news in the most viewed news here at Spain.
The fun thing is that when they were taling about the news the first image was a kid playing with the gamecube :lol

 

[offshore]

Woo hoo...PS3 back to normal!

 

[alejob]

Well, that was the most entertainment my PS3 has provided since launch. Back to normal.

 

[daoster]

40 gig here, and it works!

Lost all my HR trophies so far...but at least the saves are working!~!!

 

[cory]

Working Now!

 

[bran]

What REAL problems does not having the correct date do?

I don't give a fucking about trophies.

 

[Mailenstein]

THANK YOU SONY FOR HOLDING THAT 24H PROMISE! THEY JUST CALLED IT!

xD

 

[gotee12]

Pulling the AC cord probably did nothing. Unless that's a roundabout way to 'disable' the internet connection of your PS3. Otherwise, the clock just happened to get to the next day while you had it unplugged.

Anyway, yay for our working consoles now! Wee.

I agree, and stranger coincidences have happened. I just wanted to through it out there in case somehow or another it had some part in it...

 

[DidntKnowJack]

Oh Sony, what have I ever done to make you treat me so disrespectfully? Give me back my gaemz.

 

[bodyofanamerican]

MGS4 80GB on the US East Coast up and running!

Lost BioShock2 trophies though

 

[Kagari]

My trophies are all fine. Just had to resync.

 

[geinou]

They didn't do shit. If it wasn't for NeoGAF, we would have been panicking.

I know. We all know that they did absolutely nothing. That's why I said "relieved faces".

 

[dreamer3kx]

PS3.....it just fixes itself, spin it sony, do it.

Start Heavy Rain. Check trophies in the Extras menu, just in case. Exit game. Sync trophies in XMB. Let us know if they're back.

 

[kamikaze]

sony engineers found a fix!

 

[maniac-kun]

so we are BACK TO THE FUTURE!

 

[WickedCobra03]

Now my PS3 thinks it's 4/29/2020.

Oh, good ole fatty. Mine is blissfully unaware of the APOCOLYPS3 and is still saying 28/02/2010 6:01 PM.

How cute.

 

[Ridley327]

Yay, my PS3 works again! Also, I was able to get my Heavy Rain trophies to come back when I synced them via my profile.

 

[Shao Kahn Brewing a Stew]

THANK YOU SONY FOR HOLDING THAT 24H PROMISE! THEY JUST CALLED IT!

xD

You kidding me? WE CALLED IT. WE DID!
SONY IS MERELY A PUPPET PROTECTING IT'S ASS BY READING THIS THREAD!

 

[santi_yo]

The right name would have been: 2010: A Space Odyssey.

It already exists

Just boot up Bioshock 2. You'll see them.
