1/03/2010 & the PSN

It's Monday. If you own a fat PS3 (old 60GB, 80GB, 40GB) then don't turn on your ps3 if you have automatic sing-in on.

Some major problems are occurring right now. Basically you can't connect to the PSN, and for some reason the PS3's date has been set to 1999.
Everything that you have downloaded of the PSN will not work. Themes, demo's, etc are fucked. If you try to play a game that has trophy support (like I did, Heavy Rain) the trophy list will be removed from your collection.
Could possibly mean that everything you have done in that game might need to be done again. This is true for Warhawk, MAG, MW2 etc.

Massive kudos

Can you change this to an announcement please?

I have absolutely no idea how to do that. Instructions?

No solution or idea of time.
I've read that people with slims are ok.

Cheers for the info
hopefully they can get this sorted so that the people who have lost trophies and stuff get it back, surely that information is stored in a database somewhere?

So maybe those with the big ps3s should unplug the Ethernet cables and do a back up now. However trophies are server side so it is probably not going to help in anyway... Something you should really do anyway

Apparently slims can connect to the network, but trophies will not be unlocked.

I'm pretty sure everything will be ok, data wise. Trophies, stats, saves and PSN items should all be good. We may have to redownload everything though.

"from what i can gather it's a suspected hardware issue, or at least something that's been in the firmware for a while i think. reports are that it affects all ps3 hardware revisions up until the introduction of the 65nm chip units or thereabouts, regardless of firmwarey/onlinery.

as the slims/fattys run the same firmware with different hardware revisions, signs point to hw being root cause.

this doesn't mean that it's not fixable. if it is an "imaginary day" issue (being 29/2/2010) it may potentially resolve itself at 2/3/2010 0:00 GMT when the PSN Time and ps3 RTC time start sharing a page again."

saw this on the psn site (hope the copy and paste works. (teknologiklee challenged i am)lol.
may just have to fire up the wii (cringe) and wait till tomorrow

Yeah apparently slims are ok:
