Should be fixed in a couple of hours mate, don't worry.

I really hope so

I was half way through playing Resident Evil 5 for the 10 time

From what I'm told, this code has something to do with the internal system clock/calendar?  I also hear it only effects the older fat PS3s.

Same here. I went to play COD World at War and I can't play. My stepson is having Modern Warfare 2 withdrawals.

The techy news last night was saying that the whole server was down for online gaming or something... sounds like a lot of people were going cold turkey!

Yea it was fixed late lastnight. I was able to get on.  From what I read it had something to do with the clock and date system on the PS3. It thought that 2010 was a leap year and went sorta crazy at midnight on the 28. See it's Y2K+10.

Seems we've not seen the end of the millennium bug then
