PlayStation Network service up and running

Sony's PSN network is now up and running after yesterday’s debacle, with the symptoms of older PS3 units having their internal clock go haywire fixed and restored. Here's what the official statement from the PlayStation Blog has to say.

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 period 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. whether the instance displayed on the XMB is still incorrect, users are able to adjust date settings manually or via the Net. whether we have new data, we will update you through the PlayStation.Blog or PlayStation.com. We apologize for any inconvenience that may have caused.

Guess the world can move on now, and that goes to show that it pays to get the latest hardware always.

PSP firmware update 6.20 offers extras

Nice to know that the latest firmware update 6.20 for the Sony PSP will introduce an additional column in the XMB called “Extras.” Under that column lies the “Digital Comics” category that will kick off in December when Sony starts to roll out digital comic books via the Playstation Store. Alongside that addition to energize little ones to read more, Sony plus increased the potency of their compatibility with Media Go software, enabling users to view videos and listen to audio playlists created within Media Go.
