PlayStation 3 owners hit by major PSN outage

Amazingly poor system that won't allow it's users to at least play games offline while they fix their miserable network. Ridiculous!!!!!!!!!!

First Toyota and now Sony,What happened to Japanese reliability ???

Japanese reliability is only for people living in Japan not for the rest of the world

I have a 250GB slim PS3, and when I download the fifa 2010 demo, after installing it disapeares, i found the file in the saved games past.
it´s not just on the non slim PS3

I recently bought my PS3 around Black Friday, off Amazon. It is the new, slim version of the PS3. It is also facing PSN connection problems. It has been happening recently, and I don't think it is ONLY the old PS3's that are facing these problems, but perhaps even the slim as well.

I've got an original 20GB phat model that I upgraded to 120GB and haven't had any trouble. Was playing MAG until after midnight Sunday and again went on PSN this afternoon and bought Burnout Paradise bundle, no troubles.

The Playstation Network failure is a disgrace to Sony.....This is one of many failures on the PSN....

Another example of crap service, is the failure and discontiuation of the online third person shooter game, called "The Club" (Sega). One day the online capability was just turned off for the Playstation, was it Sega or Sony who are responsible for that problem....Seems that "The Club" still works on the XBOX 360....

Whatever the situation my PS3 is looking very dusty and may stay that way once the XBOX 360 turns up....

hello ...

i laugh each time there's an 'issue' with PS3, whether it be a rumor about a price drop, otherOS removal & now with the recent apocalyPS3...

well i was worried but confident that the machine will go through this with limited damage, guess what it's a no damage to me. If i didn't read about the issue, i wouldn't even have known of it, for since Sunday morning i didn't switch on my PS3 & as usual during the 1st few days of a week, i rarely switch it on for any reason if i don't have some downloads 'en cours', then would also be on PS Life.

because of the articles, i went yesternite to check things up & got down because my phat ex-20G was sick, read & commented on various sites. when SONY said would be fixed within 24 hours, was sure about it & this morning, i switch it on, was OK ... so much ado about nothing.

yes i survived the apocalyPS3 & sure hope SONY finds a way to fix this definitely, wasn't any PSN bug, was with the RTC & bad coding of leap year.
wasn't an attack on PSN & certainly the PSN isn't bad, i don't understand why some would always whine about it, i'm not a fanboy, i love games on PC & PS3.
SONY will not remove otherOS, this wasn't a test ...
The machine is one of the best in terms of reliability, there can be any issue with electronics, but statistically this isn't a 54% fail rate with no solution than change it.
now i'm sure some are feeling weird about what they said, too late & even if a lot were wearing a mask, you should at least take in consideration that you freaked out....

LOL, i did!

thank you japanese SONY for such a great console, but please no more of this & don't worry people will always whine even if you give them a golden palace & cloudy bed & pillows ...

cheer out!

So, PS3 suffers from the Y2K bug, 10 yrs after it... I guess that the reliability of it (and sony) is going down the drain.

All fanboyism aside.... i´m really sad to see Sony in such bad shape, they used to be great in consoles today they are in 3rd place, used to be number 1 on TV, now they are just one of the bunch, their laptops don´t sell great, handheld music devices pretty much died since the ipod.... they have the brand to drive innovation but they just wont take risks and everyone else already caught up and is passing them on almost every single area of their business.
