ACW Posted March 1, 2010 Share Posted March 1, 2010 See, if game companies hadn't gone online and had just stuck to the games themselves like the N64 and not had that rip-off known as DLC, this wouldn't've happened And yes, DLC is a ripoff.

kiingspadee Posted March 1, 2010 Author Share Posted March 1, 2010 SolutionBuy an Xbox 360 Profit? MUAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA:silly: I own just about every system known to man. Please refrain from making this a console war - because 360 is known to have a few issues themselves Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree 100% I mean I am playing Dragon Age and OH LOOK an awesome character was stripped from the game and then they decided HEY it will be able to be downloaded but if you buy it used or something guess what you need to shell out close to 20 bucks to play as Shale Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MattFancy Posted March 1, 2010 Share Posted March 1, 2010 http://news.bbc.co.uk/newsbeat/hi/technology/newsid_10050000/newsid_10058900/10058914.stm Sony says some PlayStation 3 users are experiencing a connection failure when signing onto the PlayStation Network and is trying to fix what's gone wrong. The problem is affecting people using the older versions of the PlayStation 3, called the "Fat" model. The problem isn't affecting the newer PS3 Slim systems that have been on sale since September last year. Sony is keeping users up to date with how they're trying to fix the problem on its Twitter feed. It says: "Readers/followers are confirming that "slim" units (120/250 GB models) are connecting normally. "We're aware that many of you are having problems connecting to PSN, and yes, we're looking into it. "We're narrowing down the issue and continue to work to restore service to all." The PlayStation network is used by millions of people around the world. It allows users to play their friends at games like Fifa over the internet and also do things like download software or visit online stores.

TheREALJBird Posted March 1, 2010 Share Posted March 1, 2010 Yea I just bought Heavy Rain yesterday, tried to play it last night and wasn't able to, got the error. My date was also 12/31/99. I didn't lose any data or anything though, I guess I'll just play Madden in the meantime. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Enter Apotheosis Posted March 1, 2010 Share Posted March 1, 2010 I know but why test the waters.NOW they said that data is FINE however I think that is majority I have talked to a few people that have lost EVERYTHING! Like I said before maybe isolated incidents but why screw yourself over right? Those people are probably being melodramatic. Odds are their save data will be fine if they don't **** with anything and wait for a fix from Sony. That said, if Sony stalls too long with any such fix or there is mass data corruption (again, I highly doubt it) they will have done some irreparable harm to the brand.

Sony has made it seem like they will have a fix within 24hrs. But if people do lose a bunch of their game data and such, Sony could be in big trouble. That would leave alot of pissed off gamers.

corsair_joe Posted March 1, 2010 Share Posted March 1, 2010 Sony's going to sit on it and see if the issue self-corrects at midnight tonight UTC. If it doesn't, they'll have to do a patch. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The problem will be how do they do a patch? If people can't get online how will they download a firmware update? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Captain 47 Posted March 1, 2010 Share Posted March 1, 2010 The problem will be how do they do a patch? If people can't get online how will they download a firmware update? The firmware updates don't go through PSN. Your PS3 is still connected to the internet. Your internet browser still works on it. If they do release a patch, everyone will be able to download it.

artmonkforHOF Posted March 1, 2010 Share Posted March 1, 2010 um, I got on last night and had no problem. I also showed up to my dentist appointment early this morning, so I walked back home and played a few games of MW2 with no issue at all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

thesecondquarter Posted March 1, 2010 Share Posted March 1, 2010 I have a PS3 older fat model purchased when Madden 10 came out in August. I only play Madden 10 offline & watch DVD or Bluray movies never have used the network. Should I just not turn the PS3 on today? I turned it off sometime early this mourning after it was on all yesterday, Will this be a problem how I use my Playstation? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
artmonkforHOF Posted March 1, 2010 Share Posted March 1, 2010 You have a slim? nope, old style 80gb. I don't know exactly what model # it is, but it was the last version of the PS3 before the slim one came out, bought it in March 2009. In fact, I first saw this post on ES when checking it on my PS3 browser. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
