Well, they get rewarded for that time and time again, with long lines and sold out consoles, even though the launch games are usually crap, the price is high due to the technology, and the hardware failure rate of launch consoles is pretty bad.

And I'm not pointing fingers, I buy into the hype every generation.

Now, wait at least another day to turn on your PS3. When the time comes up everyone will turn on their PS3 and try to connect to the PSN and I'm sure the PSN won't be able to handle the workload. So, just wait another day and you should be able to enjoy your PS3 without issue again.

Just saying...

But if they waited until the machine was better developed and tested it would still the lines and sold out consoles. They just want their money sooner in the development cycle. The public is now part of the testing cycle.

The internet update fixed it for me.

The point is that the public accepts this.

I was hoping for a variation on the previous title "Resolutions are made to be broken" by changing it to "PS3s are made to be broken on 3/1/10".

Now I'm curious. Last night, the fiancee wanted to watch Pineapple Express, but the blu-ray kept doing the loading screen, rebooting, doing the loading screen, rebooting, etc. I looked up online and there are quite a few complaints about this particular blu-ray not playing on players connected to the internet due to some issue with some bd-live content. So I disconnected by PS3 from my router, tried again and it booted right up. I'm wondering if it was just this SNAFU or if there really is an issue with some previously available bd-live content screwing up players that try to run Pineapple Express. If the latter, that's a pretty lousy issue.

I would believe this if it wasn't for New Super Mario Brothers Wii.

Where's the "Hitler" video? Those are usually pretty funny.

Well it seemed to be back... it came up and I was able to sync the time and start Heavy Rain. However, I don't know if it is related but at one time during the game when it was awarding me a couple of trophies it got REALLY SLOW and right now it seems to be locked up on me entirely. I was able to eject the disk which reset the machine so we'll see...

the Heavy Rain discs have their own issues (freezing, audio cut outs, lock ups, etc)

That Hitler video sums up my feelings of Sony over the past week and today. First they "replace" my optical block in my functioning RPTV to have it completely fail 3 hours later and I'm still waiting for them to come and fix it. Then two days later I get the YLOD again, 2 times in less than 12 months, on my other 60gb PS3 after just over two years of use. Then Sony doesn't want to be the least bit helpful for the repair except for asking for 150 bucks. They can kiss my ass right now.

Well my PS3 is working again except that I still don't have my Caprica episode. I checked again just now and the episode in question (Episode 6: There Is Another Sky) appears with a red shopping bag icon. So it's clearly been purchased. However, I have no pending download on my PS3. Also, when I try to download the episode again, the button to download does not appear. All that is available is the button to view a 30 second preview. :mad2:

Can you check your download history and download it from there?
