What is going on with Playstation 3 right now?

By: GamingAngel

Sony slogan

Sony might be trying to make believe that this isn’t happening, but they seem to be in total shutdown. First we are getting reports that fat Playstation 3′s are unable to get online or play games offline. Not sure what could cause not only online gaming to be shut down but also the ability to play any game offline.

Sony says they are looking into it, but the problem may be bigger than they can handle. @pkollar, writer for Game Informer found that http://us.playstation.com/PS3/dearplaystation/ had a very weird message on it. Something to the affect of turning on flash or javascript or to not waste their time. Sounds to me like a programmer that wanted revenge. Currently that link doesn’t show anything.

We’ll update when we hear any news from Sony. I hope that it gets fixed soon because I was going to get in some gaming time!

for people who might be thinking about doing it, i backed up all the data i could and then re-formatted my PS3 as well as reset all the PS3 settings to see if that made a difference... as it turned out, i spent a long time waiting for nothing. But as of now i'm sure that we are all certain that it is the network so i think its just a matter of time before something happens

Wow, an entire gaming network down? What could cause every single PS3 to not allow gameplay offline? I guess I should be really glad that I have an xbox, though I have no idea what would happen if XBL crashed like this. Hope it gets fixed soon!

Yeah, I don't get why the disc-based stuff isn't working, either. We tried turning off the internet connection, but nada. I think some kind of trophy verification is what's messing it up. Since there's no way to retroactively get trophies (that I know of), my bet is that it has to have a connection to make sure the trophies are still there. Or something.
