Yep I got it too. The leap year bug, the "I don't like March" bug or, my favourite the delayed Millenium bug. Yep it seems my old 60gb fat PS3 (she's a real beauty) has given up on the online side....and now I expect to have a patch from Sony which I can download on the PC and install via flash or SD card (because I do have the original with flash card support).

When did I realise this? Last night at exactly 00:00 - at first I thought nothing of it - but then I finished Heroes over Europe and got NOTHING. No gold trophy, or even silver for doing in on "pilot" difficulty. I knew something was up then.

Then this morning, reports that the bug was messing with save data, trophies and even themes. I found out my RE5 and UK Blighty themes had been corrupted - fair dos I'll just download them again. A completely random bug has managed to destroy an online community, and even make it on the front page of BBC News LINK

And so I have one thought, why would it only stop the original PS3s? Why target them? And more importantly, how many owners were p!ssed off with the crash that they bought a new slim model? More money for Mr. Sony I think - anyway enough of the conspiracy theories.

In reality it's the one time Sony have messed up, and they promised to fix it up. In my honest truth this is the first cock up since Uncharted 2's trophy glitch (didnt get the 70 kills for the FAL...the swines!) - yet this cock up is worse. Oh well, at the end of the day it's free online gaming - I mean we didn't pay for it right?
