As the world slowly awakens to the morning sun tomorrow, the engineers and technicians working long hours at the company headquarters and American unit will be able to relieve thirty-eight million people of their woes and doubts about Sony’s reliability. The problem that erupted on Sunday causing millions of users around the globe disconnected from their favorite network has finally been pin pointed to be a fault in the clock functionality of the system, the Playstation blog says.
On the Playstation blog, if you visit it, you will see the number of errors and their exact wordings in a list. The first sign of the bug that has impaired the clock functionality is that the console might take you back to the beginning of the millennium by resetting the date to the first of Jan 2000. Something akin to the Y2K? Perhaps, but now that the problem has been confirmed the company is asking the users through its Playstation blog that they remain patient as it will take another twenty-four hours to resolve the problem.
The advice given to the users on the Playstation blog in these twenty-four hours is that it would be best for them if they kept their consoles powered off as turning the PS3 on might result in an inability to retrieve certain data or recording trophies.
The words of anger and bitterness boil down to kind “Thank you’s” and “looking forwards” as two days of tension finally conclude, unless of course the problem isn’t related to the clock functionality, in that case… God save you Sony.
