Game on for PS3 users after Sony fixes bug (AFP)


AFP – Japanese electronics giant Sony assured millions of users that a system bug halting play on older versions of the PlayStation 3 had been fixed.

The company “verified that the symptoms are now resolved and that users are able to use their PS3 normally,” Sony spokesman Patrick Seybold said on the PlayStation blog.

Sony earlier indicated that the problem, which has left many PS3 owners unable to connect to the Internet for more than a day and some unable to even play games, was only affecting models released before last year’s PS3 “Slim.”

PC World -

Yeah, massive. As in ‘action game’. Ergo MAG.
