Stop, don’t throw your older and heftier PlayStation 3 against the wall!
PlayStation 3 owners are already aware of the problem that occured not too long ago when they got the PSN error message that affected all of the older and fatter PS3 models. The problem, according to Sony, was a glitch in the console’s internal clock that couldn’t handle the February/March switch. There could have been other factors but we’ve yet to know what exactly happened.
What we do know is that it made games like Heavy Rain unplayable (so no tossing the game in the trash, folks) and corrupted all the Trophies you might have earned for all your games. What that means is your Trophies are now worth squat. Meanwhile, the PlayStation Network is back in working order as of today.
While the newer PS3 models were not affects (the ones in our office didn’t suffer one bit), this incident will not be forgotten anytime soon. PlayStation 3 has had a good track record so far but you can’t help but wonder if owners of the older models will have to go through something like this again. We certainly hope not.
