Just reloaded and the whole interface changed... Don't know if you guys are updating, if my first post here was a "first sign in" glitch, or something, or what... Just thought I'd update.
Doesn't work on an iPad, doesn't allow rating thumbs down, forcibly attached to a facebook or twitter account, and for some people, apparently doesn't work at all... Well done gamespot, way to fix what ain't broken, and actually break it in the process... Well done indeed.
I get the tech, but I'm curious how they are going to make pressure sensitive functions work on new controllers, but not make a difference to people with the standard/ old controller?
I ask because some pressure sensitive buttons have two functions in one, and that won't work with the old controllers, right?
So does that mean they wont actually use it in games... or will they just say screw the old customers... or what?
[QUOTE="LiLEviL_187"][QUOTE="samssf"] Uh, no. He's referring to the GMT time, which will hit midnight at that moment. And hopefully, the problem will then resolve itself.StealthMonkey4
yeah, i quit responding to those that havent read the thread. they are too far behind the majority of us to even help at this point. that and i kept getting this no more than 20 posts an hour crud. lol but it was fun contributing to entertaining the board all afternoon LiLEviL_187 is my screen name on PS send invite if you dont have squeaky voice
I read the entire first post...
The statement by Sony was"We hope to resolve this problem within the next 24 hours." not "The clock will hit midnight in 24 hours and the problem will fix itself."
Sony will also no doubt have update PSN to prevent this from happening again.
wrong stealth monkey --- there is a very good chance the problem will automatically resolve itself when the GMT time is march 2nd ... that is why people keep saying 50 minutes, etc ... its march 2nd then, and that may reset or resync it properly according to people ... I'm no expert, but it makes sense that if it started automatically at a time of day, it can end the same way. Also, several people have reported that sony has the aptch ready and waiting but is waiting to see if its necessary to jam up the servers and add a patch for something that will be over in (now) 30 minutes.
Well I guess it can't hurt flipping the switch off on the back of the PS3. I even disconnected the PS3 power plug for extra safety measures. If the CMOS battery doesn't recieve any power than it should reset. Like I said before, we all know how annoying the PS2 was when it asked us to set the date and time, whenever we turned it off on the back for an extened period of time.

pretty sure the battery is charged to last for weeks without a power source, like most are ... thats why people have been disassembling and removing the battery, otherwise it wont die (and thus reset the clock) in a timely fashion.
Heres the main thing on my mind: A Clock error, trophies, or anything else network related, should NEVER effect whether I can play a game in my own home on a machine I own. Period. Its unnacceptable. Trophy integration teams? I would fire you people, instantly. You sucked from the get go and are terrible at your jobs, and now, even though I dont even LOOK AT OR CARE ABOUT TROPHIES, you've possibly ruined my gamesaves? And now my DLC content thinks its a demo...I cant play half the games I own whether HDD based OR disc based. People at R&D and product integration at Sony have made a terrible misstep. I cannot use something I payed for, because of a trophy issue or a clock issue? There is no excuse or idea you can conjure that will justify why these ideas are in any way related. The entire planet easily jumped over the y2k issue. A decade ago. Yet you geniuses somehow recreate that with ps3? And any trophy sync idea anyone speaks of is MOOT. There is absolutely no reason any trophie or clock issue should preventing me from spinning a disc around so I can play it. My god, it simply boggles the mind how some of these people even got a job. Anywhere, let alone at sony. Best of luck to everyone. Especially the afforementioned offenders. Their really going to need it. trupro
while I agree the offline gameplay shouldnt require online connection or whatnot, what you said about the world jumping the y2k prob and having no problem, is not really true. As someone else here, I think, already said, the year 2038 problem, or y2k38, still exists and is essentially the same thing as y2k, and it is virtually fact that it will hit hard and screw up several systems before the date in question ( as its already starting and effects anything that plans to that date in the future), and has no current solution besides ditching 32 bit for 64 bit. AOL servers crashed already for this, and a work around had to be written into their code.... so this happens, and clearly even to the biggest giants... just be grateful its not MS that had this problem or you can bet they wouldnt be so quick with a solution (should the automatic, march 2nd fix not work).
