You get what you pay for.Mysterious glitch renders PlayStation 3 units inoperable
By Ben Kuchera | Last updated 28 minutes ago
Beginning Sunday, many PlayStation 3 owners found the PlayStation Network inaccessible, with the system giving them an error explaining that they wouldn't be able to connect. This by itself isn't a huge deal, as all online systems crumble from time to time. The bigger problem is that this glitch seems to be effecting the ability to play offline, single-player games, with reports that games like Heavy Rain are no longer functional.
The issue, from reports on various forums, seems to have something to do with the system's internal clock. It also appears that only older, non-slim systems are being compromised, a detail that Sony seems to back up.
"We’re aware that many of you are having difficulty connecting to the PlayStation Network this evening. Those of you with 'slim' PS3s (the 120/250 GB models) appear to be unaffected," the PlayStation Blog reports. "Know that we have narrowed down the issue and have engineers working to restore service even as you read this. We apologize for any inconvenience this may cause you, and genuinely appreciate your patience while we work to resolve this."
The last update was given by Sony 11 hours ago via Twitter, simply restating that slim units have so far been unaffected.
Probably a bug related to leap year calculation.

Those of us with modern PS3s seem to be unaffected.
Impressive. What restitutions will they make to people denied the ability to play any of their gamess, if any?

Lol. Seems like they need 24 hours more to fix it if we shall believe kotaku, will be interesting to see, as Dauphin says, what they do make up for this.
I would presume that when it's fixed there won't be ongoing problems with games. If that's the case they almost certainly would offer nothing beyond apologies.
