PSN is down, some titles experiencing game-crashing errors

Yup ... that's what's happening to me. Very frustrating.

 

Playstation.com is all wonky too. Weird.

 

Yeah I'm on an 80 gig (the bundle pack ps3 with MGS4) and it won't let me sign into PSN but Madden 10 offline is still working so that's a blessing. Just waiting for it to come back so we can continue our online franchise. (and maybe complete a trade with my boi Bpk).

 

So that's what my brother was complaining about. Hopefully it will be fixed by the morning.

 

My Dragon Age crashed

 

Come to think of it the first time I turned on my PS3 tonight it made a loud beeping sound and the blue light indicating a disk was in the system never came on. After I turned the PS3 on again my screen resolution had been automatically reset to 480p and I had to fix it to read at 1080p. I just thought I had done something along the line but now reading this I guess not.

Wow this is a pretty widespread bug it seems. I know some have been complaining to Sony about Heavy Rain bugs so it all could be a link. I'm interested to see how this shakes out and see if its firmware etc.

 

My system was affected as well but I could still get into Madden and God of War Collection so it didn't bother me so much.

I needed a break from MAG anyways.

 

This is so bad for Sony. I feel sorry for the people working there today, because the crap must be really hitting the fan. Hard.

That said, I'm disappointed by this. And it won't help people want to buy Sony's next platform.

They're lucky the slim isn;t affected or sales would be hurt even MORE.

 

Wow somewhere in his dungeon Bill Gates is laughing.

 

I think a $10 credit at the Playstation Store would be an effective balm, but I ain't holding my breath.

 

That would be great especially if this really does mess up people's multi-hundred dollar console's.

 

Well, I know the game I play the most is a PSN download, and I can't even open it right now. If that were to become permanent, I would be very upset.

 

My PS3 is working fine...but should I turn it off just to be safe?

 

If you have an older one, I would suggest it just be sure your trophies don't get screwed up.

 

I could care less about trophies anyways. They're just imaginary with little pictures of them.

I do care that I can't play my games and act like a teenager though.

 

This is crazy. I played some Bioshock 2 yesterday afternoon, and noticed while playing it said an error occurred and I was logged out of PSN. I didn't try and log back in, nor did I play anymore after I was done.

This totally blows though. I have a 60 gig fat PS3, so maybe I shouldn't even turn the thing on again until this is fixed?

 

I wouldn't turn it on at all HardKore until this is fixed. If it's a firmware problem then it can mess up your system...it has before like with the 2.40 firmware release.

Also Doc all your downloads are stored in the PSN store download list so if your current game is corrupted you should be able to re-download it from there. Now if there is a glitch that affects that then Sony better answer because I have around 5 or so downloaded games.

For Sony though this could affect sales of multi-platform games like BF:BC2 and yes even FFXIII...terrible time for this to happen for them.

 

Doesnt effect slim????

 

Supposedly for now its just the PS3 "phat" models.

 

I'm not gonna risk it then. I'm pretty obsessed with trophies and don't lose them. I know they're stupid, but I like them. Wrote an article about them and everything.

 

I laugh maniacally as I continue to play my ps3 slim. Sorry guys just teasing, but hope yours are fixed soon.

 

Agreed I know Trophies and Live Awards are useless but I collect them and play games a certain way just to get them. It doesn't make a bit of sense but it does get people to play the game more in depth.

Hey I am sort of hoping if you have lasting problems after this Sony has to buy you a new PS3. My PS3 has been trying to die for a year now.

 

I haven't used mine and now I won't until I hear this is fixed.

 

One other thing: it is absolutely unconscionable that Sony doesn't have anything about this issue on the Playstation home page. Totally inexcusable.

 

Anyone know if this is strictly PS3's that are online, or all?

EDIT: OR I could just read the link.

 

Mine wont even come on!!!

 

Same for me. I had to text my faince to tell her.

 

I called home earlier to find out my daughter had turned it on (She's only 8 months, and hit the PS button on the controller).

Hopefully no damage has been done...

/crosses fingers

 

I have a 60 Gig as well, I think its better not to touch it until the issue has been fixed.

 

My buddy just attempted to use his and it worked. Original 80g model. I am waiting for confirmation from sony before I try though.

 

My brother just tried the 40 gig and ours works.

 

According to ps3fanboy.com they have fixed it

 

My PS3 is working with no problems.

 

That is because all their news is here:

Mine is up an running too, original 80g model. Heavy rain here I come..

 

Thanks Dolphin.....very useful link (you'd think I would have known that one! yesh!)

Have a blessed one!

Edit.... LOL....I realized I keep forgetting to take off my "taunt sig" for my buddy Starry about our madden franchise.....heh!

 

haha Soldier. I had got disconnected three times while playing some online Madden games, after not having a single disconnect in 100 games or so, thought that was odd. Now my beautiful 0% DNF is 2%
