Come ot think of it, it'll probably be the fastest moving and fastest dying thread in the history of GAF.
Record videos of ourselves throwing ps3s out windows and snapping HR discs in half.Mad_Ban said:So what do we do if it doesn't autocorrect....?
MemoryofMaggot said:My 80gig fat PS3 is still under the 3 year warranty that I bought, this would be a perfect time to see if I could take it back to get a slim...the only thing holding me back are my saves!

If not, Sony will be sending out CD/DVDs with a FW update fix. the same option will be available to download and burn or xfer over to a thumbdrive.
in the worst case scenario, there would be no reason for recalls.

All PR is good PR. That means they will all report on it when the problem is fixed.itxaka said:Seems like this has already reached to the spanish midday news on TV. Also the 2 biggest newspapers have it on their online edition frontpage.
Huge bad PR they are gonna reap, somebody is gonna be fucked up at Sony after this is over.

My buddies got his hooked up to my TV and it has the problem, so it's probably best to wait.Chip N Chance said:Is there anyone with a 80GB (software emulation PS2) that's having problems? Im midway through my second Heavy Rain play through. But i can wait. I just want to know what the word is on that specific system.

Danielsan said:Sony should really give an update.
I understand that they're also playing the waiting game but at least tell your consumers what's up.
A simple:
"Sorry we fucked up, everything will be just dandy by 0:00 GMT."
Would suffice.
And of course compensation for the fuck up.

good point.LCfiner said:statements like that -- admitting fault -- might have legal ramifications that cost them money. best for them to just keep their mouths shut while we wait for 12:00 GMT.

thinking of doing this too...should I turn on my console and back up my saves, then try to bring it back?LegendOfGood said:I should go to BB today and use the warranty on my fat to pick up a new Slim.
offshore said:I'm not really sensing the "bad PR". At the moment it's confusion, with a bubbling undercurrent of frustration.
If it's not working in 8 hours, then it will be bad PR...

Nakasan said:Yup. I'm not overly fussed about it at the minute, I think it'll either be hilarious to watch the fall out or my PS3 will work again tomorrow. Win Win.
What I don't like is Sony totally lying and saying it's a PSN issue. For some reason, that really winds me up. I genuinely feel afronted. They be playing me for a fool!
macewank said:no need for a CD.. machine still connects to internet just fine, just not PSN. Internet firmware update would work fine
Why would the system brick?savor100 said:The ONLY thing that worries me about this whole issue is losing my Demon Souls save file (in the case the system bricks and they do a recall). I wouldn't mind getting a new slim and I could care less about my trophies.
lowrider007 said:Yeah I agree those directions don't seem very clear tbh.
Yep same thought for me. I'll buy up a few thousand dollars worth.nib95 said:I'd be tempted to buy Sony shares if the PS3's stayed bricked post 00:00am. I'd imagine share prices would take such a dump there would be thousands to be made.
What would you like them to say sir? "Our system clock is fucked up so wait"? Honesty is great but going bankrupt isn't.Nakasan said:Yup. I'm not overly fussed about it at the minute, I think it'll either be hilarious to watch the fall out or my PS3 will work again tomorrow. Win Win.

itxaka said:oh and from the last page someone mentioned this. If they are really checking leap years like this:
Code:if (year % 2 == 0 ) { return leap; } else { return notleap; }
won't be that make 2012, 2014, 2016,etc... all leap years and prone to the same error? They are only checking if it's divisible by 2.
if ((year % 4 == 0) && (year % 100 != 0) || (year % 400 == 0))
{
leap_year();
}
Not to be a cold hearted bastard but I hope you get hit by a bus.
