Looks like if you own one of the old-style PS3s you’re out of luck as of yesterday – there’s some kind of bug in the calendar software that means it’s unable to properly handle today’s date, meaning if you even switch the console on it can leave to save-game loss, loss of trophies, inability to play online and various other shenanigans.
I’m interested to see how Sony will fix this – will they be able to push out a path over the network when people can’t connect in the first place?
Here’s one particularly unhappy customer who just wants to “eat cupcakes and shoot noobs on Call of Duty” – poor guy.
Edit: it looks like the issue has been fixed, about 24 hours after it started.
