Its Alive, Its Alive ! again ! PS3 bug fixed
Sony PS3, the bug is fixed : The issue date of which affected the older model PlayStation 3 (PS3) is just a bad memory. Sony has indeed fixed this bug that prevented players from connecting to the Playstation Network.
Two days was all it took to Sony engineers to solve the problem of time that affected some models of the PS3. A concern due to the passage of the month from February to March and that has prevented some users from connecting to the PlayStation Network on Sunday and Monday. This bug has been identified as the older model PS3 (called Fat) and does not cover PS3 Slim sold since September 2009.
On its blog, Sony states that if, on consoles impacted by this bug, the date does not always gets updated automatically, you can now force it manually or via the Internet. The Japanese company also said that if it has new elements to correct any other recurring concerns, it will update the console via the web to solve them. Evidence that the connection problems are only the past now.
PS3 3.0 / 3.01 firmware update making Blu-ray drive unusable?
What could possibly cause nearly 700 comments on an official Sony blog post announcing the relatively minor 3.01 firmware update for the PS3? Plaudits? A Kanye meme gone awry? No, it’s the age old problem of an update that apparently breaks more than it fixes. In this case, a sizable number of users are reporting that the 3.0 and/or 3.01 update caused their PS3’s Blu-ray drive to be all but unusable for both games and Blu-ray movies (although some folks report that DVDs still work). Other users are also reporting intermittent problems like no sound, and some problems with specific games, but it does seem like the complaints are pretty widespread and, as of yet, Sony isn’t saying much about them. Bitten by the upgrade bug yourself? Let us know in comments.
