Topic: Nintendo Life Playstation 3 Fan Thread

It may be one little tiny mistake but is still an unforgiving one that shouldn't being overlooked. How on earth Sony could pass over something like that?

I cannot see Nintendo making such fatal mistake with their products at all.

Yes because Nintendo is perfect.
No Wii update ever bricked a console. Hmm...I wonder.

Atleast Sony is working on it and gave us an idea on how it happened.
Like I said,we Humans make mistakes in life and we LEARN from those mistakes to make sure they do not happen again.

Slip of the finger.
Anything could have gone wrong.

Yeah, anything could have gone wrong. I'm not saying it couldn't. The point is, there should've been a more thorough fact-checking system in place so that the problem got FIXED before it hit retail.

Yeah I agree.
But then again,this is only the first time it has happened so really....why even bother complain?
Once this issue is gone,its gone.

People should go read a book or do something.
24 hours without a PS3,thats nothing.

I hope we get a free PSN game...LOL

Some of you people make it sound like Sony doesn't quality control before it puts out the product. The PS3 is a massive, complex beast, and a small (yes, small) error was missed. Deal with it. It's not fuel for the fanboys (although they'll use it as such, because by default a fanboy is a juvenile twit), it's not a sign that the PS3 is a poorly constructed console (it's not), and it's not an indication of the quality of what you can do with the PS3 (last I checked, all the games are still there), so it's really a nothing.

@thosewhotookmycommentspersonally: Dudes, I'm not laughing at the users misfortune and the fact they can't play on their own damn consoles, that sucks! I'm laughing at the company who caused the whole mess in the first place. I don't like Sony very much, at all. Just be grateful the Xbots haven't entered the thread as yet, because they have elsewhere, big time.

I hope Sony fix their error soon.

Honestly,I'm just taking the time to get to bed early and not stay up late on MW2.
In a weird way,I'm glad this has happened. lol

Lol@people who are crying because they can't play their PS3 for a day. Come on now...lol

Everyone makes mistakes. Microsoft did it with the Zune last year, Nintendo did it with a firmware update last year, also.

Yeah, I'm one of the lucky ones who didn't attempt to PLAY the system after the error occurred. I'd call this a relatively minor issue (even though it's affecting so many people) if it wasn't for the fact that it can cause people to lose entire save files for games like Demon's Souls, which would be a SERIOUS pain in the ass to regain progress in from the start.

I work at GameStop. We've been fielding a number of complaints about this issue. It's getting to be more of a bother than it might otherwise be. I can always just play my Nintendo systems for the time being, that's not a problem for me...but that's not the only way this error has affected me and everyone else who works pretty much anywhere that sells PS3's and PS3 software.

@Machu: Okay, that's better. Your original intent was unclear, and it's only natural for people to assume you're laughing at their misfortune.

Nah, just laughing at Sony and the bad press this will create. I <3 Ninty, lots, soz. :/

I have room in my heart for both Nintendo AND Sony. But Microsoft gets left out in the cold.

Here I am!

O.K, here goes (clears throat):

Sony sux and the error proves the PS3 is a piece of sh!t. All them fools is following a company that f**cked them over for fun. Worse than Hitler! Get a life F*gs!

SOMEBODY had to do it. Now to wait for that to be taken seriously.

O.O.....Me too. lmao

What update on earth did that?! That only happened to modded consoles duh. I have updated my wii and never bricked.

And no is not perfect but at least they won't make such idiocy happen. I cannot recall any wii having something like a red ring or worst something that deletes data. Don't deny that.

(is so weird defending Nintendo from sony IN A gerbil-filled NINTENDO SITE but well gamers nowadays are just like that...why PS3 lovers are here anyway?)

I'm able to sign into PSN now and the date is still wrong but I told my PS3 to set the date via internet and now its back to normal!!! YAY!!!! lol

However...I hear.....a noise.....when I turned my PS3 on....like....I dunno....its weird.
its a beeping noise but won't stop.

Okay, so apparently the bug has been fixed: http://www.joystiq.com/2010/03/01/ps3-clock-bug-apparently-sq...

Some people own multiple systems. This is just a thread for their misplaced (zing!) love of the PS3.

It only does everything... including fixing itself.

@BuffaloBob: The update killed unmodded Wii's also, it was a pretty big deal not to long ago. I think it was 4.0 or 4.2. And this IS a section for gaming other than Nintendo, in a thread about a non-Nintendo console...... So your post basically just failed big time.

Oh yeah, and if you are wondering why I am here, I am thinking about getting a PS3, again.
