A problem with the PS3 has left many owners unable to access the PlayStation Network or, worse, play many games – including this week’s number one title, Heavy Rain.
PlayStation 3 owners worldwide are reporting that they’re effectively locked out of their online accounts and are unable to use any of the PlayStation 3’s online features. An undisclosed number of games have fallen prey to the problem too, presenting perplexed PlayStation punters with a mystifying error code whenever they try to log on.
It’s all because of some kind of 'calendar bug', which was triggered as March 1st came around. If that wasn’t already puzzling enough, it seems that this issue only applies to older PS3 models – owners of the sleek new PS3 Slim should be unaffected. Whatever the case, we’re assured that Sony boffins are working hard to ensure that normal service is resumed as soon as possible:
"Know that we have narrowed down the issue and have engineers working to restore service even as you read this. We apologise for any inconvenience this may cause you, and genuinely appreciate your patience while we work to resolve this," said a Sony representative earlier.
Alas, there’s no sign of any progress at present and we imagine that patience may become increasingly scarce before too long. Sony is reporting all developments via its Twitter feed, though – see SonyPlayStation for more info.

Funny stuff! :DD:
are you "sure" you got the phat original 60/80/whatever GB versions? not the slim one or a 120/250 one?
did you send your in for RRoD?
when did you last update it?
themes?
settings?
Never been in for repair.
Last update was the major one last month or so
No themes
Normal settings apart from surround sound and tv settings
My friend who owns a slim says that on his it shows i'm not online yet, when i message him, he can still see it. My trophies arn't showing up either his or mine.
