For you that say you playstation was not connected to the Net then why are you on here say your getting the error. The error only happens when you try to log online. Now tell me how you getting the error if you not connected to the net there would be no reason for you to try to sign in if you not connected to the net. If your ethernet from your router is plug in then your PS3 was connected just because your not signed in doesn't mean you not connected to the net. I would assume that it probably was not connected to the net and you got on your PS3 and decided that you would log online but what you didn't realize that as soon as your PS3 gets plugged in with a ethernet cable or connected wireless it does a test to the psn network to make sure your PS3 is connected to the internet in the first place. rlejeune

[QUOTE="Mr_Fujiv1"]I think this is just another way for them to get us to buy the PS3 slim and make more money, it wouldn't suprise me one bit if they didn't release this bug! i am so ***** right now! ... I think they will end up fixing this but they will drag it on so we get soo frustrated and buy the slim.NinjaStatic

I am not going to "jump ship" since that would be throwing away all my games collection, but I will cancel all the preordered games I have if this is not corrected in the next 24 hrs.

Today is a holiday (and a long weekend) in my country,this issuecouldn't have a worst timing...

I don't understand what kind of design renders the console unusable if the PSN is down. That would mean hell will break loose if Sony pull the plug at the end of the PS3 life.

My PS3 got this issue and now I can't even play offline games (Brutal Legend reinstall every time and Bayoneta gets stuck in a "loading..." screen.

Your Blu-ray player is broken. To have Sony replace it, you should send it and it will take a few days (at best), and 175 U$S.

You can try to get a new drive and change it. The process is not difficult and there even are some videos in youtube that show it to you. You have to be careful when you buy the replace, though, because the drive in 40 GBs models is different than the ones in older versions, and I am not sure if you can plug one on the other without issues.

haha, i tried about 10 times, because I couldn't really figure out what to do.SamuRai_JeDi

I don't think that is a bad idea. MGS4 gameplay feels a lot more cohesive because all the effort Payton did to "westernize" the game.

No, it probably should have made a price drop last year.

Price is important to move units, once they get a big fanbase they can focus on games, which is were real money is. But until then, they are not going to convince anyone to jump exclusive with them, and they keep sinking more and more in the economic crisis.

The famitsu review was less than stellar, and 1up made a hands-on preview of the japanese version. http://www.1up.com/do/previewPage?cId=3172072

Apparently is good, but not that great. Aside of a battle system similar to FFXII and MMORPGs in general (which is not a good thing in my book), there are some issues that would be nice (although unlikely) if they are addressed before releasing the game in the US...
