Sony Has Repaired PS3 Software Error Disallowing Users from Network Access
Sony Corp. (SNE) has said Tuesday that it has repaired a software error with its PlayStation 3 that had prevented some users from accessing its PlayStation Network for more than 24 hours.
Sony, in a post on its PlayStation blog, said the problem started from the internal clock on some of its older PS3 consoles. The clock on affected models incorrectly recognized 2010 as a leap year.
Sony was warning customers to stop using their PS3 machines because there were some instances where turning on the console would result in the loss of data such as trophies, or accomplishments, earned through game play.
