Everyone loves that film!

It's been repeated on BBC One 3 times in 2 years, dontcha know. That & Air Force One...

Since when has the amount of times a film gets shown on TV been anything to do with how good it is?

How Sony are going to be able to spin this is beyond me and they will need to come up with some sort of compensation for the millions who were unable to use their console due to a fault of theirs.

The malfunction stemmed from an error in the internal clock on some consoles that mistakenly recognized 2010 as a leap year, Tokyo-based Sony said on its Web site. Satoshi Fukuoka, a spokesman for Sony’s game unit, said approximately 20 million players, excluding the latest, slimmer version of the PS3, may have been affected and the error won’t require a recall.
Sales of the PS3 have picked up since Sony cut the price by 25 percent to about $300 in August and introduced the slimmer version in September. In the U.S., they rose 90 percent to a monthly record of 726,000 in December. The consumer-electronics maker sold 33.5 million PS3 players from 2006 through end of 2009, according to the games unit’s Web site.
Sony gained 1 percent to 3,085 yen as of 1:13 p.m. on the Tokyo Stock Exchange. The benchmark Nikkei 225 Stock Average was little changed.

20 million

Yep, pretty much. Sony are claiming they fixed it but we all know the truth.

PlayStation Network Service Restored

We are aware that the internal clock functionality in the PS3 units other than the slim model, recognized the year 2010 as a leap year. Having the internal clock date change from February 29 to March 1 (both GMT), we have verified that the symptoms are now resolved and that users are able to use their PS3 normally.

If the time displayed on the XMB is still incorrect, users are able to adjust time settings manually or via the internet. If we have new information, we will update you through the PlayStation.Blog or PlayStation.com.

We apologize for any inconvenience this may have caused.
