Why is it that I go on PSN buy a bunch of stuff and then PSN crashes for the old fat PS3s. Not only does PSN not work but it will not allow you to play games offline if they have trophies in it.

So if anyone is reading this and they have yet to turn there old fat PS3 on make sure it is not connected to the internet (especially if you have auto-sign in checked off).

Some games, like BF:BC2 which I'm picking up at lunch today, are made for multiplater. You are alone.

Is this fixed yet?

That made me chuckle very loudly just now. I like watching them too.

There the problem is solved but trophies are gone and sony announced no way of getting them back yet.

which is a problem for some people but I don't really care that much.

@stans34 I love single player games and I mostly spend my time gaming in single player rather then multiplayer so I guess your not alone but I think we might be a rare bread.

Yeah so does my SNES, Sega Genesis, PS1, and PS2, and xbox 360. Guess that would have been a good time to set them back up to the T.V.

Its strange how I was upset at sony and now that its working I have yet to use it. :D

If you turned your PS3 (fat ones only not slim) on the last day of Feb The internal clock registered 2010 as a leap year and messed up the whole console and in some cases people got corrupted trophies and themes. They work perfectly fine now.
