Jeez, get the word out please! Apparently there are some PSN issues that are causing the PS3 phats to lose data, etc. Again, this doesn’t affect the PS3 slim versions. If you’re like me, keep your launch Ps3 60gig (yeah that’s right, HW PS2 compatibility) off until further notice!
Updated: Looks like it was a version of a Y2K10 bug! The PS3 phats were treating 2010 as a leap year and the date change pushed down from the network didn’t jive with its internal calendar or something…. regardless, it’s fixed!
