A number of gaming/tech sites are reporting that some folks with older PS3's have been having problems connecting to PSN, happened to a friend with her machine last night.

Anyone here having any problems? Like others my slim seems unaffected by the problem.

Hope they fix it, I'll need my co-op Borderlands fix later

The current rumours seem to suggest a problem with the PS3 handling leap years.

Today is the first even non-leap year since the PS3 was launched and the problem is affecting online and offline consoles.

Hopefully after 24 hours it'll sort itself out. If not

Aye after having a nosey round, seems it's some sort of calender bug. Hope they resolve it soon.

This aint good i cant even play half my games at all , i keep getting the same dam error , i really hope they fix this and its not some sort of lasting bug

I'd expect a firmware update sometime soon.

Hopefully Sony's dev teams will be into full swing fixing and testing the bug.

Not going to gloat because -

1. I'm not a xbox fanboy.

2. I know the pain when your console goes wrong (x2).

Yeah it crashed while I was playing heavy rain earlier, and my date and time went to 31/12/1999 12am

i can no longer stream stuff from my pc to my ps3 either , using the program ps3 media server , so this is 1 hell of a major glitch bug or whatever sony wants to call it

roger skillin · 01-03-2010, 13:18
