March 8th, 2010 · 2 Comments · Asides, Previews

PS3/PSN Problems Make People Cry

March 1st, 2010 · No Comments · News

Bumbling irresponsibility, horrible math, and overall stupidity come to mind
Unless you’ve been living under a video-game rock, original PS3 owners (think “fat”) are experiencing all sorts of problems with their console in what appears to be due to an internal clock bug. My guess is that the system goes all bung-holio because the people at [...]
