God I hope not. The only reason I bought mine was for the blu-ray player and God of War 3.

Perhaps it was in the first gen PS3 so that maybe they can trigger it for a time such as this? IDK.. knowing Sony, like when they put rootkits in CD's, I wouldn't put such an act thing past them.

Once I realized the my save files were loaded with the wrong date, it was easy to reload etc. I don't care about the potential memory loss- I'll just wait to update my ps3 until I've beat the game.

So far all Slim PS3s are fine (and connected to the PSN just fine). There are some people with the fat PS3s that can connect but the majority of fat owners cannot. On the contrary.. PS Slim is unaffected with this glitch. Why?

It's a screwed company. Sony's quality has taken a huge dump since their glory days of the walkman. If it wasn't for the increase in blu-ray popularity, Sony would be gone. They may sell a fair amount of PS3s, but all it's doing is making their company bleed money. After blu-ray, Sony doesn't have much time left here on Earth.]]>Mar 1st 2010 2:01PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/03/01/sony-dont-turn-on-your-ps3-until-psn-bug-is-fixed/http://www.engadget.com/2010/03/01/sony-dont-turn-on-your-ps3-until-psn-bug-is-fixed/"If it wasn't for the increase in blu-ray popularity, Sony would be gone."

Wrong. Do you realize how huge Sony is? We are talking about one of the largest electronics companies in the world. Sony sells so many different kinds of products (many of which have nothing to do with Blu-ray, which isn't even doing all that well) that it is almost scary.

Getting back to this problem: this is the first time I have ever had a problem with my PS3 in the two years I've had it. My friend has been through three or four XBoxes in that time. Live is also down relatively often (more often than PSN from what I understand) and it is a service that, unlike PSN, costs extra money to use. From my viewpoint, I think Sony is doing a pretty good job.]]>Mar 1st 2010 2:13PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/03/01/sony-dont-turn-on-your-ps3-until-psn-bug-is-fixed/http://www.engadget.com/2010/03/01/sony-dont-turn-on-your-ps3-until-psn-bug-is-fixed/Mar 1st 2010 4:54PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/03/01/sony-dont-turn-on-your-ps3-until-psn-bug-is-fixed/http://www.engadget.com/2010/03/01/sony-dont-turn-on-your-ps3-until-psn-bug-is-fixed/Mar 1st 2010 5:56PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/03/01/sony-dont-turn-on-your-ps3-until-psn-bug-is-fixed/http://www.engadget.com/2010/03/01/sony-dont-turn-on-your-ps3-until-psn-bug-is-fixed/Are you kidding me?! Xbox live is so stable. I've had the same Xbox 360 since the day it came out, not once have I never been able to get online, except for when it was down for maintenance which only happens once in a blue moon, at 3am. And about the Xbox's quality, I've had the same Xbox for 4 1/2 years, not one problem with it. ]]>Mar 1st 2010 6:28PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/03/01/sony-dont-turn-on-your-ps3-until-psn-bug-is-fixed/http://www.engadget.com/2010/03/01/sony-dont-turn-on-your-ps3-until-psn-bug-is-fixed/Mar 1st 2010 1:22PM
