Bad news, everyone.
I tried to log in with my PS3 this morning, and, not only was I not able to sign in, but some of my games (in particular, MvC2) had reverted to their trial versions. I thought that my PS3 system itself was just being wacky, until I read this:
All around the world, PlayStation 3 consoles simply aren’t working like they’re supposed to, with an error preventing people from not just going online, but from playing some PS3 games offline as well.
From Europe to the Americas to, well, my house in Australia, users (mostly of older “Fat” consoles, those released before 2009’s “PS3 Slim”) are complaining that upon booting their consoles up, they’re unable to sign into their accounts, check their trophies, use dynamic themes or access the PlayStation Network. That’s fine, Sony say there are PSN connection problems, and that they are “looking into it”.
Problem is, the error does more than just prevent you from going online. It prevents you from playing certain games offline as well. Even for some consoles that aren’t connected to the PSN, like debug units. The screen above is what I was greeted with on a retail console when attempting to play Heavy Rain, and pressing out of it simply reboots the PS3, returning you to the main menu screen. It’s the same story for other games that feature dynamic trophy support.
PSN games are no different; I tried to boot up “Flower”, only to be greeted with a similar message about failed copyright protection, and it was right back to the XMB.
Sony say “stay tuned” for updates on the problem.

Stay tuned for further updates. Until then, it looks like we’re gonna have to do something else. Anybody up for Robot Unicorn Attack?
