Experienced the Online Profile Error couple of times , nothing else from that list. But my bug is sometimes when friends go online they don't update and still look offline. Really is strange when you receive a message from friend who is offline :)

Cryos6422d ago

I don't have any of these errors.

Although, what I do get is when I'm playing online, and I then go to the XMB to turn on my bluetooth headset, my controller turns off.

Only happens when I'm in game though. If I start up the bluetooth prior to launching the game, everything's fine

TheTimeDoctor6422d ago (Edited 6422d ago )

does anyone know the logic behind the system turning the controller off when you start a ps2 game?

Zip6423d ago

I suffer from the credit card error grrr

RareNimbus6423d ago

o man!! i too suffering from the credit card invalid, i cant buy wipehd. :(

Gothdom6423d ago

Either you didn't activate your system in the account management (or transaction management, I don't remember where exactly) or your credit card doesn't support the AVS (Address Verification Service) security. Most Mastercard does not support AVS. You can call your credit card company to ask.

BaSeBaLlKiD7216422d ago

then go to your local blockbuster and buy a PSN card

Counter_ACT6423d ago

Don't think I've ever had any of these errors. The only thing I get now and then is avatars not loading.

micro_invader6423d ago

Yeah, I also get that sometimes. What happens to me is, it replaces the avatar with a big grey smiley face, kind of annoying but I just sign out and then sign in and it's gone.

pornflakes6423d ago

Not only PSN has bugs and problems.

The PS3rd is a whole BUG with weekly firmware updates.

Now iam waiting for the RRoD PS3midgets.

juuken6423d ago

...Nothing compared to scratched disks, melted disks, and the dreaded RROD.

Don't worry about PS3 owners getting the RROD. It's not cheaply made like the PatchBox360.

Teh Cell6423d ago

You're right fatty, the BS3 has no chance of ever getting the RROD. Because you actually need to have games to get it. Sorry, playing a MSG movie doesn't count.

juuken6423d ago

Go f*ck yourself inbreed.

The PS3 has no games? Once again you use that stupid ass logic? Enlighten me on WHY it doesn't have any games because that is an age old excuse.

And calling me fatty? Oh my...do the bots play follow the f*cking leader these days?

YOU DON'T EVEN KNOW ME SO HOW THE F*CK YOU CAN SIT THERE AND CALL ME FAT?

Dumbass moron.

caffman6423d ago

yet my PS3 died after less than a month! hows that for quality control!

juuken6423d ago

And my PS3 is still going strong for a year and a half. My PS2 is still working fine. My PS1 is still working as well-and they were launch consoles!

What's your point?

The 360 is still a system with hardware issues and a 33% failure rate. The PS3 may have it's share of problems but it doesn't break down like the 360 now does it?

Show me a high percentage failure rate for the PS3.

Smack those disagree buttons 360 fanbrats. That's all you're good at doing anyway.

Teh Cell6422d ago (Edited 6422d ago )

YOU DON'T EVEN KNOW ME SO HOW THE F*CK YOU CAN SIT THERE AND CALL ME FAT?

Because you're fat, b]tch! That has to be true, because only the fat/ugly girl gamers would come on here and troll for attention 24/7. The skinny/pretty ones would be receiving far more attention in real life from guys and friends to even bother with a hardcore gaming site.

See? My logic is undeniable.

But hey, I'll tell you what. You post a picture of yourself, and we'll let up if it's really not true.

caffman6422d ago

in my house its xbox 360 0%, PS3 100% failure rate

juuken6422d ago (Edited 6422d ago )

"Because you're fat, b]tch!"

AND I'M A WHINING LITTLE 360 BRAT! WAH, WAH, I MUST MAKE FUN OF THE PS3 AND THEN INSULT A FEMALE GAMER BECAUSE MY C*CK IS BIGGER THAN THE AVERAGE MALE C*CK WAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHZ!

I must have pissed you off didn't I? I love pissed off bots. They throw a temper tantrum. :)

"That has to be true, because only the fat/ugly girl gamers would come on here and troll for attention 24/7."

So what the f*ck are you doing eh? You're doing the same exact bloody thing you dumbass! How do you know I'm ugly? How do I know you're not a pimply faced nerd who gets his kicks out of insulting others because he can't even develop a coherent argument?

"The skinny/pretty ones would be receiving far more attention in real life from guys and friends to even bother with a hardcore gaming site."

Yeah, and some of the *skinny* girls out there can't seem to get something called an education and keep their panties on.

Get the hell over yourself. *insert rolling of eyes because clearly you are an idiot*

"See? My logic is undeniable."

Your logic=a pile of dung.
360 owners get more verbally abusive by the day...I mean, is it because their system is failing? I sure think so! :3

"But hey, I'll tell you what. You post a picture of yourself, and we'll let up if it's really not true."

I don't post pictures for assholes like you. I am sorry.

Keep it up fanbrat, keep it up.

I'll watch as you rush to your other zillion accounts to smack the disagree button like the coward that you are.

Pain6422d ago

Arguing with 13 year old kids on the internet is like wondering why my Cat doesn't use the toilet like the rest of us.

I've been on the PSN for almost 2 years and I've never experienced a major glitch. Maybe I'm a minority, but Sony generally tests these things and releases them without problems. Of course, nothing's perfect. I remember the 2.4 firmware that cause people problems.

Look I know VIII has its issues and all that but how on earth can the do big anniversary events with new artwork and merchandise for VII, IX and X yet VIII got sweet f*** all.

They could have given it something during its 25th anniversary yet all it got was a single Happy Anniversary post on their social media.

solideagle2d ago

they should know that we are OG fans of VIII as it sold truckload as well. not as much as VII or X. I personally didn't like IX but X and VI are my personal fav.

Shadow Hearts 2 covenant is another game I love. I hope one day someone can make remake, I would be delighted

Relientk771d 23h ago

Final Fantasy VIII is great and you are always the first to defend it in the comments

"Gaming’s Biggest Fighting Franchise"

Press X to (seriously) doubt.

DarXyde8d ago

Underrated comment. I used to hate that game so much that any time my siblings asked me to play it, I just picked Hom and shut myself down mid-match.

Soy9d ago

And then MK1 killed it again.

DivineHand1258d ago (Edited 8d ago )

15 years went by so fast. I remember playing through the story mode at launch.

PlayStation legend Shuhei Yoshida says Jim Ryan fired him because he didn't listen to him

Why did Sony push Shuhei Yoshida out of his role leading PlayStation's first-party games? He'd overseen some huge successes. Well, apparently, he didn't listen.

Relientk7710d ago

Yeah I can see that for sure. Shuhei Yoshida should have been in charge not Jim Ryan.

Cacabunga10d ago

It should be free highway for him now.. but Sony are too stupid to see this, especially that moron Hulst

S2Killinit10d ago (Edited 10d ago )

Wtf why all that anger. PlayStation is dominating on every level. Besides I think there is a little more to hiring a CEO than just who is available. Its not like its a athlete your team wants to buy.

neutralgamer19929d ago

S2Killinit

live service failures, chasing trends, closing studios. yes dominating

Cacabunga9d ago

Sony is Dominating because competition is not existing. Compared to previous gens this is the poorest in terms of software offerings.

Last gen we got Uncharted 4 Lost Legacy and TLOU2 from ND alone.

This is so far a remasters gen, with no competition to lift up the quality

1nsomniac9d ago (Edited 9d ago )

..."PlayStation is dominating on every level"....

...Really???

PlayStation are soon heading into a new generation in the not to distant future. They currently have the worst customer satisfaction they've ever sustained as a company. The company is heading for a huge crash while at the same time they'll need to be planning how they are going to try and win back that favour and the build up to their new releases.

Yes financially they're winning but they're going to have to ride out this complete public corporate disaster. No one has faith in the company or the product anymore. They've damaged their public image so much this generation. Greed can kill anyone.

medman9d ago

Hulst is a disaster......

blacktiger9d ago

He would've done the same thing and fire Jim Ryan and Shuhei would be the villain. Why?
Because Elite creates the narrative and distraction for gamers, users and citizens.

Outside_ofthe_Box10d ago

More confirmation that Jim Ryan is the culprit for what has happened to Sony. Hulst needs to go too. What sucks is that a lot of the good top heads at Sony are no longer there. I wish that guys that were forced out prematurely by Dumbo Jimbo like Shuhei and Layden came back.

robtion9d ago

Yep. Yoshida was responsible for bringing one of the best games of this generation to playstation (Stellar Blade). He is an actual gamer and is in touch with what gamers want (creative, fun games, not GaaS and agenda pushing). He also seems like a genuinely nice guy if you watch some interviews. Of course they got rid of him.

darthv7210d ago

Makes you wonder if MS even thought about hiring him after Phil and Sarah were leaving. He certainly couldn't make their situation any worse.

Agent7510d ago

Microflop. After Windows XP and Xbox 360, it all went floppy.

S2Killinit10d ago

Floppy 😆
No pun intended

badz14910d ago

Yoshida for President! Jim Ryan was and always be a hack! Sony should get Shu back

Lightning7710d ago

All the gamer/consumer lead heads are gone across PS and Xbox. shuhei gone phil's gone (questionable) but gone. The future of gaming is somewhat uncertain across the board.
