PS3 Meltdown

Playstation 3 owners have been left at one heck of a loose end this morning with news breaking of massive meltdown on the PSNetwork.

Tweets abound of an inability to play PS3 originals, connection loss to the network and even reports of trophy data being wiped out completely.

The cause of the issue? Well it's too early to tell but there are rumors it could be attributed to some sort of 'Leap Year Miscalculation' similar to the infamous Y2K bug with some gamers reporting their PS clock has set to Dec. 31st 1999! Sounds like a bit of a mess to us....

Sony are saying that a patch 'might' fix what is understood to be a firmware problem with Dave Wilson from Sony stating "We are working flat out to resolve the issue"

However, it appears they are as confused as the 33 million people on the Network who will potentially be affected by the issue....

So if you intend to switch on the PS3 when you get home from work be advised!

More to follow....
