Ben-DutkaWe have an update from Sony concerning the issues that affected many PlayStation 3 machines yesterday.
We've already told you everything we know and in all honesty, the update over at the PlayStation Blog doesn't really add much in the way of info and details. Senior Director of Corporate Communications & Social Media Patrick Seybold says they've pinned down the issue and although we knew it was the internal clock, it's good to have the official reply. The post includes all the complaints we've heard thus far, which means they have all the relevant information now and could result in a fix "within the next 24 hours." In the meantime, they're simply advising you not to use your PS3, "as doing so may result in errors in some functionality, such as recording obtained Trophies, and not being able to restore certain data." And as we've said several times, this error shouldn't have any long-term or permanent effects; your save data, downloaded content, Trophies, and any other data adversely affected by the bug should come back when it's all over.
There is the possibility it all reverts back to normal when the clock switches again but if not, they'll have to provide us with a firmware update. Keep checking the Blog and PSXE for more updates.
haven't tried but I also sleep all day so this really didn't make me to upset, it made me more scared if it turned out to be a non fix issue.
I don't blame Sony Sh*t happens I have been a happy launched console customer from the beginning I would be more ticked if they were like another so called company where the failure rate is ridiclous and they try hiding the issue but Sony came right out and said they would get it fixed in a timely manner they could of just ignored and told customers to deal with it and not give us updates or a reasoning behind the issue, so before you start pointing fingers just be thankful you have a Company that cares about their customers and have a reliable console having one issue once in a blue moon I would rather have, having issues all the time where you are constantly taking u'er console in for repairs on a regular basis I defently do not want, so i applaud sony for getting the issue resolved in a timly manner and not dancing around the issue like other companies I won't mention.
PS3. it only does everything. BUT LEAP YEAR
i knew there was a reason why i bought a slim.
now only if i could find all my saved data back, i was almost finished on burnout paradise, turok, dmc4, unreal tournament 3, midnight club LA.
so close to reaching the penicle, but so far.
and my bloody external HDD went belly up on me too, actually come to think of it i better do another back up.
