[QUOTE="xX-Incubus-Xx"]"When looking at over 500 units purchased in 2009, fewer than 1% of customers have reported a RROD error as of Aug 2009"[QUOTE="opex07"]
Square trade does record problems from RRODs, they have even reported data specificly about RRODs in the past.
opex07
Wait a second. So 5000 people surveyed doesn't count, but 500 consoles does? And their recent 15% number was not including RROD. That's what I meant. They may deal with RROD but I would imagine they only do it outside of MS's 3 year waranties and there's no point for a 3rd party company to deal with a warranty when MS will send a rufurb 100% free of charge.
I have no ideal what your talking about for the 500 people versus 500. All of Square Trades warranty data I have ever seen includes ROOD data, as well as the Warranty Square Trade offers costs money, so obviously people are going to use that warranty when problems arise if they are spending money on it.The latest Square Trade numbers said they did NOT include RROD. and I'm saying that people say that GI's 5000 number is bollocks when the info you linked me to was taken out of 500 units. So my understanding of this is 5000 people are compeltely wrong because it's such a small percentage of the userbase. But a piddly 500 people is correct because the number is smaller and help lemmings prove that RROD is on the decline?Sorry, but it doesn't work that way.
Judging from the number of people on here reporting RROD's and real life experience I wouldn't doubt if the 360 suffered at least a 50% unique failure rate(meaning I'm counting on the FIRST time per 360, so 1 person getting 8 RROD's doesn't count). I don't even know why people fight about this, we know the problem affects the 360 and the newer models seem to be less likely to RROD. Unless MS releases OFFICIAL numbers, we will NEVER know for sure. But I suspect those numbers are too embarassing for them to admit to. That should be the end of discussion right there.

You're one of the lucky ones, these PS3 owners here, not so much.My launch 60 gig is down, My PSN games don't work and I didn't bother trying any games. But some people have reported losing all their trophies for whatever games they try, I suspect that once the servers are back up all their trophies will reappear though.[QUOTE="_SWAG_"]

If all of my save data is corrupted I better get a few free PSN games outta this. If everything returns to normal...Whatever, it's a free service and ALL web based services will be down from time to time. Yes, even XBL.

Aren't you lucky?
I think many would agree with me when I say that I am not a PS3 hater. And every problem that has been said, minus trophies disappearing and games not playing, has happened to me. Heavy Rain had stopped working for me earlier this week and that is a big problem too. Check my blog for Kotaku's link on that.
This is ridiculous. I hope the trophies are recovered to all of those people who are losing them right now. Maybe they're going to patch Heavy Rain so that'll work too? Meh, one can dream.

Man that sucks. I turned on mine, saw that error code on the upper right, checked if blu ray movies works and it does, and turned it off. I just didn't want to bother. I'm pretty sure this will be fixed by tonight or tomorrow morning, I hope.The latest Square Trade numbers said they did NOT include RROD. and I'm saying that people say that GI's 5000 number is bollocks when the info you linked me to was taken out of 500 units.

No one was making the comparison between my link, and your Game Infromer poll, or even in the same way you are trying to use the game informer poll, I simply linked it to show they clrealy track RROD numbers, so I don't know why you are coming to this conclusion. Also can you provide a link to Square Trade saying they do not include RROD data?

It was posted on their front page when they posted the fail rates of all 3 consoles according to them. A lot of lemmings got owned in the process. This was months back.And as was already pointed out even if ST does deal with RROD's, they would likely only deal withh RROD's outside of MS 3 year warranty. Simpy because if you warranty through them before 3 years, it costs them money. And for ANY company in the world, they will do everything in their power to save themselves money. They can simply tell you to go directly to MS and have it done 100% free of charge anyways. Sure the odd person would complain that they purchased a warranty and want it honord, but MOST sane people would just call MS directly and get their coffin shipped, because it's just that easy.
Also I never posted the GI numbers, someone else did. I was just trying to say it's a little hypocritical to say a survey from 5000 people isn't right but one from 500 is.

Shhhhhhh, You'll ruin all the fun. It's clearly not PSn and people that aren't plugged in are having problems...But some people don't really understand this or just havent read the posts.PSN IS NOT DOWN. The problem is FAT PS3s cant connect to PSN nor play some games with trophies because of some kind of february 28 bug caused by the last firmware.
bloodling
From the fact that PS3 users were getting the corrpution even while offline, suggests a coded bug in the firmware. I'd be curious to see what version of firmware users who got the crashes and corruption were running. Trophy corruption sounds kinda shameful should they not be able to correct that without resetting users trophies, it will be a slap in the face to those who got hit!
If my Assasins Creed 2 Trophies were deleted permanently by this weird error, Im gonna stop caring about trophies altogether, i've spent hours trying to get the platinum trophy and I was very close to get itAgentA-Mi6
What sucks is some of my Assassin's Creed 2 trophies weren't unlocking back when I was playing. I synchronized all view points and didn't get the trophy for synchronizing 10, i completed Chapter 2 but never got the trophy, etc. So no matter how many hours I put in I would never get those trophies.
Many people on the Ubisoft forums were complaining about that. It would be nice to know if they were fixing that problem.
But I know how you feel. If my trophies are all of the sudden wiped and I have to earn back a lot of them, I'm just not caring anymore. That happened to me with my 360 a while back, hence why I enjoy trophies more than achievements, but that's a whole nother story... :P
Gamespot today probably got over 1000 new accounts lol.. PS3 fourms are filled with level 1 users new to the site.. anyways i really hope this is fixed soon

Glad to know its not just me.. for example i was playing God of War 1 from GoW collection and after collecting all the fethers i was confused on why no trophy showing up.. so i went ahead more and did the other gaol and still no trophy so i had to turn the system off and now im waiting

Ouch, collected all the feathers and you didn't get the trophy? That bites; especially if, when that problem is fixed, the patch is not retroactive, therefore making you collect them all over again.

That's so strange, because I always sorta thought trophies were implemented the same way as achievements on the 360, but this shows they are handled very differently. Not always captured or recorded properly.[QUOTE="finalstar2007"]

the good thing is i saved my game right before i get the last fether and im so much glad i did that.. i always make 2 save data's when i play games always in-case somthing happens haha im really glad, so hopefully when its back up by tomorrow i'll play again and get the last fether hopefully this time it unlocks, also thanks man im seriously excited its almost here finally the 3 year wait is almost over! :P

There are quite a few people on the Ubisoft boards saying the problem. Its interesting because its not always the same trophies. Some have it with certain trophies while others have it with, well, others. I wonder how the whole trophy/achievement systems are similar and different in their programming. It is an interesting thought.

I'm assuming that the method used for 360 achievements was patented... which would mean sony had to come up with an alternate method. Makes sense, but then again PS3 hardware and coding is different enough that maybe the 360 method just wouldnt be functional so they had to come up with their own way of doing it. Either way, it needs to be fixed.the good thing is i saved my game right before i get the last fether and im so much glad i did that.. i always make 2 save data's when i play games always in-case somthing happens haha im really glad, so hopefully when its back up by tomorrow i'll play again and get the last fether hopefully this time it unlocks, also thanks man im seriously excited its almost here finally the 3 year wait is almost over! :P

I must be lucky because I have a launch PS3 and I've been online all day playing Dragon Age. And plenty of people on my friends list are also online playing a variety of games.
Are me and the folks on my friends list that lucky? Or is this issue being blown out of proportion?

Doesn't seem to be being blown out of proportion judging by how many people are outcrying on all different sites.
But you are lucky if it is still working. Good job.
