PSN Is Back Up!

I'd be irate if I were one of those being affected right now, but I'm not, so I'm not. Having the YLOD on the launch 60GB turned out to be a blessing in disguise after all.

Man, I swear you have the worst luck of any console owner I know.

Why are you paying $100 a year? If it's not for more than one account I think someone's ripping you off.



That's if it's fixed in 24 hours. If it takes something more than pushing out an update then I'd say it's at least as bad as the RROD. Yes, multiple console failures but it wasn't EVERY console failing all at once. That kind of makes a difference.

If they end up having to do some sort of recall it's going to be way worse.

Even if it takes them a week it's still better than having to go through sending in multiple consoles for RROD.

Of course if they can't fix it it'll be as bad. I figured that much would be implied.

So I can watch DVD's and blurays without worry?

Dunno, nothing I've read mentions them.

Everything about the situation is weird as hell. Like, why would all of my trophy games work but one?

Forget living let's just drown ourselves in burning oil so we don't have to deal with the pain

My understanding (could be wrong) is that some of the newest games require you to be signed on to PSN at all times through the trophy system? I read about it in one of the articles (or comments on the articles) today.

It is also my understanding that if you play a game offline and earn a trophy you may end up losing all of your trophies or not get credit for any new trophies once the situation is fixed/resolved.

Personally, I'm leaving my PS3 OFF until notified by Sony of what to do to fix it.

That could be possible, however, Heavy Rain worked just fine on Saturday offline and then, without ever having signed on in a 24 hour span, I pop it on again offline and this meltdown greeted me. So it must be something else.

I'd agree, in the interest of just playing it safe, I'm not touching my PS3 until I hear more. Also, this article from G4 makes it sound like Sony would prefer that nobody (even Slim owners) get online for a time:

i just played NCAA 10 offline, and it worked fine... the date was 12/31/1999 and it wouldnt let me sign on, but other than that, everything worked well...

hopefully all this is fixed @ 7PM EST

what i got from the article a few posts above me is, dont sign into PSN... well thats not gonna happen now will it?

[Proof21]

Wrong.

Owned a PS3 since 2007. It's your fault your cheap ass decided to stay with the brick. FYL.

Backwards Compatibility FTW.

LOL @ everyone expecting something free in return for a 1-day outage. What does your power company, phone company or cable company give you in return after an outage? Jack shit. That's what. We'll all survive (as long as it's fixed in time for MLB '10 The Show).

Um, actually, if you ask, they'll usually credit you for lost time.

60GB and 120GB owner here. :D So glad I bought my slim last week.

Yeah I got the YLOD on my PS3 a couple months ago but I fixed it just somehow busted up my usb slots. I'm planning on buying a new PS3 slim anyway.

[Twigg4075]

What I think is funny is how this is supposed to be fixed with a firmware update. How is that possible if the console can't sign into PSN.

[Sean]

you dont need to sign in for a firmware update do you? you just need the internet
