Hey, Turn On Your PlayStation 3

Glad to own a slim. Now I wonder if there would be a useless update.

I'm a Y2K 2.0 Survivor

That IW thing sounds like a prank. Of course, now that I said that it won't be, but.... better be a prank. Even though, if it is, it's a terrible one.

So, can someone remind me not to turn on my PS3 on February 28th, 2014?

I am sure I will forget.

So they fixed Y2K10.

" @Sparky_Buzzsaw: Can't you make a backup copy on a USB drive or something?  I actually have no clue how Disgaea 3 treats it's save files though. "

Yayz!

Had a Slim, didn't feel a thing.

I'm happy for all of you Playstation 3 owners and I'm gonna let you finish, but the situation at Infinity Ward seems kinda fucked up right now if Patrick Klepek is to be believed.

Looks like somebody's outta a job. Curiousity PEAKING!!!!

Would have been better if this took place during 2012.

End of the world: AVOIDED.

the fact that I wasn't able to play any game I wanted to is ignored then?

I don't see an apology in there anywhere, all my progress made with Heavy Rain is lost.  
 
Sony have fucked up twice in the last week - this shenanigans and can't use the download code for Heavy Rain special content. And if you do,YOU have to ring THEM to beg for them to give you the soundtrack. What is up with you Sony, go suck a nut. 

would have been funny if this happen to ALL sony products.

Was one whole day I couldn't play my PS3, just glad it wasn't bricked.

One day without the PS3 and all hell broke loose.

WOW the amount of premadonnas is embarrassing... Be thankful  it didn't brick all the PS3s!I'm sure they'll have some sort of small compensation. But yeah. This just reminds me of an interview with Louis CK:
   

" One day without the PS3 and all hell broke loose. "

Activision really is trying to piss off it's customers aren't they :-X

That's kind of funny. So, in other words, "looking into it" and "resolving the problem" meant having them just wait a day for the calendar to roll over. I wonder if the same thing will happen again in 4 years?
   

that was faster then how Microsoft dealt with there issue over Christmas a year ago. Sony still sucks for this situation. In return I want them to never show another episode of the tester.

" @teh_destroyer: It was almost as good though. People were freaking out and getting all paranoid. "Oh no, what are we gonna do? We have to send in our PS3s because they won't ever work again boo-hooo I whine a lot like a little bitch getting violated by a bear" Heck, most of the GB users were freaking out because the thought of them loosing their trophies was killing them. It was rather fun to sit and watch the ignorance =D "

I lost my Heavy Rain trophies (except for the first one you get for beating the first level), but kept my save file.

People overreacted to this, saying "Sony is going under because the mass recalls they are going to have to make" WTF grow up, get a life.

That Infinity Ward situation sounds crazy.

At least it wasn't with all PS3's.

Fact is, Sony kept referring to it as a PSN issue, which it wasn't. They said they would be working around the clock to fix it, which they didn't. They only announced what the problem was about 15 hours after every other forum on the entire internet figured it out. Basically, it was a "wait untill midnight GMT and it should work!!".. which it did. But Sony didn't admit that. They claimed to have "fixed" whatver "PSN" problems there where!! It's actually kind of funny.. saved me having to play that god awful Aliens Vs Predator again, though!

I totally agree with everyone about "overreacting".
Tho I do really wish Sony would be a little more open with their users.

Also, I really hope you all remember to how to act like this the next time XBox Live goes down for a few hours.

Mine was back when I turned it on about 9pm PST, just like nothing ever happened. My borderlands DLC's were back and the save game took me right back to T-Bone Junction. During the outage the game was claiming that I had not downloaded Knoxx, and was kicking me straight to Firestone.  Strangely enough, the guns I had acquired in Knoxx were there, but they said 'Armory Required' in red and were not equippable.

It is not strange, however, that two big children (infinity ward, activision) are having trouble playing together.... who has the bigger cock I wonder... details at 11.

No, it's not the same thing. My PS3 hasn't been connected to the internet in half a year, and this still happened to it. Couldn't play games offline on a console, that's an issue. PSN could go down for 2 months and I wouldn't notice. "

HA! Just when Microsoft thought they where winning the console war, Sony delivers AGAIN! So Xbox fans; you thought your RROD was so high and mighty? *BOOM* error 8001050F!!! Suck on that BITCHES!!!

I really do hope there's a firmware update to fix this properly... I do so enjoy updating firmware! 
 
Seriously though, it definitely seems to have been blown up by certain people; and yeah I was bummed for like a few minuets that I couldn't play Heavy Rain yesterday but seriously some people need to sort out some priorities if this was that big of a deal for them. Now, wtf is going on at Infinity Ward?

I wasn't angry or bummed out when that did happen. I just stayed calm. I just had the basic annoyed feeling when your something doesn't work even if you don't use the device right now. I had mass effect 2 and Neverwinter nights 1 to past the time.
