The PS3 is alive!

The Editor of OPM has confirmed through his twitter feed that as of 23:50 tonight, his PS3 is up and running with a normal date, with many other sources confirming this. We should be able to sign back in to PSN, play our trophy games and relax.

manchester england here back online lost recent trophys so it looks like they may have done a rollback on there end also.....

darthv725916d ago

A PSN glitch or a hardware glitch? I can see those with slims not being effected like sony said. I myself havent turned on my 80gb fat unit yet so I am sort of waiting for the official word from sony on their blog. So far they just have the same info posted from earlier.

Great that others are working. I am in California and it is just about 4:30pm here.

FaSeCeX5916d ago

n it wasnt psn or hardware..as far as i understand @ least

Bubble Buddy5916d ago

yup, everyone on Twitter says it's back online. PS3 even became a trending topic, oh well, bye bye homework hello games :)

cmrbe5916d ago

theEnemy. Yes it does!!!.

beardpapa5916d ago

so the PS3 gets this bug over a few days and all these doomsday articles pop up. Sheesh.

sikbeta5916d ago (Edited 5916d ago )

Never was Dead to begin with, so as I said in the morning this is not a RROD/YLOD case and NOW the Damage Control From sites Blowing this up Out of Proportion will be Just PRICELESS...

Gamers FTW!!!

Hardware glitch with the internal clock. The old PS3s use an outdated chip which have a manufacturing error. The PS3 thinks that it is February 29 which is what is causing all the problems. The Zune had this same problem.

borisfett5916d ago

No roll-back, the clock simply "fixed" itself as it rolled over to midnight and the date changed.

When I turned on my machine just now, the date was listed as the 29th of April, 2020... JUST HOW LONG WAS I SLEEPING?! DO WE HAVE THE PS5 YET?!

Dark General5916d ago

I'm in New York here and it's back online for me.

JoySticksFTW5916d ago

I can log into PSN and play Heavy Rain

Good Stuff

morganfell5916d ago

If you were synched with the server prior to this incident, re-synching will restore your trophies.

Saaking5916d ago

Excellent. Time to get back to Heavy Rain

Anorexorcist5916d ago (Edited 5916d ago )

Apocolyps3 lasted less than 24 hours, but it was the most devastating global catastrophy since Polio /S

Yeah all the Apocolyps3 doom-and-gloom articles currently being drafted need not be completed now, unless you want to look like a total jacka$$.

So many people predicted this would take more than a week for it to be resolved...Tsk Tsk. Maybe next time haters!

zoks3105916d ago

The PS3 is Jesus Christ reborn.

blind-reaper5916d ago

but PS3 IS THE DOOMMMZZZED!!!! PSN bug = RROD...

Glad everthing is back to normal.

Mine's working now.

This was a hardware bug. So XBL still reigns supreme over PSN for down time.

DatNJDom815916d ago (Edited 5916d ago )

Its back up! All trophies accounted for. Now where are all the 360 trolls that were talking sh!t? lol. Next time dont set urself up for failure........

So will this now affect 360 FF13 sales? PS3's "Apacolyps3" is gone, so yea..... LOL. Oh wait wait wait....... wasnt this gonna take a week to fix???? LMAO. This, ladies and gentlemen is a quality product. Its online is also FREE. Wasnt live down for a long time a while back. Yea, while we were paying mind you. This is why I dont fukc with the 360 anymore. Its great to be a PS3 owner.

jerethdagryphon5916d ago

motorstorm trophys restored themselves after running a few single player games (hints on the rank 5 mudslide speed track anyone)

so anything that keeps track of trophys internally like r&c or motorstorm should repair when run sonic unleashed didnt ..

pixelsword5916d ago (Edited 5916d ago )

So, this lasted for years and costs one million dollars?

Hype.

Don't believe it.

presto7175916d ago

Bet they didn't think the problem would be fixed so quickly.

Now all their little puns and jokes about ps3 just makes them look stupid.

YoMeViet5916d ago

aww right time to turn my PS3 on so if can continue to cure cancer, take a shower, then hop on to MAG

SaiyanFury5916d ago

I can't really say I'm surprised by all the doom and gloom articles regarding this PSN problem. Most hail it and compare it as Sony's RROD. Despite all the denied failures and hardware faults that Microsoft denied, Sony immediately owned up to the problem and got to work on it. Within a 24 hour or so, period, here we are; we that had problems connecting on older consoles to the PSN. Thank you, Sony. Another reason I'm happy to give you my money instead of the other guy. You address problems and fix them, rather than denying them and placating other people like the other guys.

I just got back from work and school and DAMN this thing literally made the internet go on fire lol. It hasnt even been a day and people are calling this the death of PSN and compared it RROD. lol the drama was fun while it lasted though.

nefertis5916d ago

Some journalist is eating this up and adding fuel too the flame to get hits. Im getting tired of hearing the ps3 is doomed by some jounalist.Playb3yond

Premonition5916d ago

Im back up as well, here in USA, Miami FL, on another note, dang MS had a great run with FFXIII sales going up but it will be short lived, back to heavy rain.

LtSkittles5916d ago

Now we'll be getting dupes that the PS3 is back

Premonition5916d ago

already happening, but on the bright site it should spread over the internet and bring down those negative articles.

SIXAXISofEVIL5916d ago

man that was weird. glad that's over. my borderlands save bumped me down 8 levels during the lockout so hopefully it's somehow back to normal. everything else seems fine...

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.

solideagle14d 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

Relientk7714d ago

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

Press X to (seriously) doubt.

DarXyde21d 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.

Soy21d ago

And then MK1 killed it again.

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.

Relientk7722d ago

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

Cacabunga22d ago

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

S2Killinit22d ago (Edited 22d 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.

neutralgamer199222d ago

S2Killinit

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

Cacabunga21d 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

1nsomniac21d ago (Edited 21d 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.

medman21d ago

Hulst is a disaster......

blacktiger22d 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_Box22d 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.

robtion21d 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.

darthv7222d 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.

Agent7522d ago

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

S2Killinit22d ago

Floppy 😆
No pun intended

badz14922d ago

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

Lightning7722d 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.
