Critical PS3 internal clock error and its aftermath
- Thread starter patsu
- Start date
I have a feeling they will need a firmware solution
if you remember the zune bug required you to wait for the battery to lose all power, assuming it's a similar issue you can't do that with a CMOS battery (well....you could...but....)
I had my PS3 on yesterday watching a DVD, but wasn't. Does that mean it's been mullered? I can't really switch it on to see, going by advice!

Some more fallout of the Sony website redesign:

Presumably this is an old notice (I think the alert is from 2008) but since they neglected to include any sort of timestamp for their CMS content I have already seen this linked to in threads about the current clock meltdown.

I played Heavy Rain yesterday (Feb 28th) on my 60GB EU launch PS3 until 5 PM GMT.
Didn't notice anything unusual, even got a couple of trophies. I think I even manually synced the trophy data and checked my PSN gamer card, and got no error message.
At what time actually the bug affected PS3s? Was it when the day chanegd from Feb. 28th to March 1st, or any time the 28th?

I think that's from the last playstation.com revamp. I heard Sony did another update last Sunday since playstation.com looks different now. Haven't heard any problem on that front yet.
May be due to reverse proxy caching (i.e., if the profile URL has nothing to differentiate each user). The problem was not uncommon in the dotcom days.
Allegedly, it happened @ GMT 0:00 March 1.

The Sony support lines must be full of folks like this today:

Two days in a row without PSN access... thought it was a little strange. What it tells me is that even one day off the forum is too many! 
Guess I just have to wait for whatever fix. Luckily I've been too busy for much gaming anyway, but I mean... quite embarrassing for Sony here, no doubt.

i think the important thing is not to try and start any PSN games, weird clock might screw them up....
Can´t help but thinking that sony might be betting on 2/3/2010 should help them
The bug happens on the 1st of March at 00:00 GMT. Yesterday afternoon I was playing KZ2 and got disconnected twice from the PSN, but didn't think it was important. Then watched a movie. I turned the PS3 off at 00:30 but didn't check the date, so I don't know if the date was wrong then and, obviously, not going to check now as Sony is recommending that you don't turn your PS3 on.
Tonight, my Fat PS3 at home will have the best PSN performance in a while (ever ?).
Don't know if I can find people to play with me though.
You can. I've updated without being logged on, as Internet access is independent of PSN login. There's also the old PC>USB stick option as well.
