Re: The Official PS3 thread - Software bugs? We don't need no software bugs
Well, I was back up and running last night, but when I popped in Rock Band 2, it had to install trophies before I could play the game. When I checked my trophies, I had 0% for RB2. Backed out completely to the XMB and re-synced my trophies and everything was ok. Weird. I guess RB2 must have been what I was playing when everything went to hell.

Here is the real reason for the PS3 problems:
The massive earthquake that struck Chile on Saturday may have shifted Earth's axis and created shorter days, scientists at NASA say.

I thought you were going to say that it was because the main PSN servers are based in Chile, which would explain the slow download times I've always experienced.

It's funny, I was out of town all weekend and didn't know about this issue at all until a friend at work asked me this morning if my PS3 was fine. On my 40GB Phatty I played Monday and Tuesday evenings with no issues at all.

Re: The Official PS3 thread - resolutions are meant to be broken
So I added Flow to my queue when it was free earlier last month. Well it just came up to download today and an error code came up saying it couldn't download. So I tried to redownload and now it wants to charge me. Does this sound right?

Re: The Official PS3 thread - resolutions are meant to be broken
What do you mean "it just came up to download today?" Does that mean you resumed the previously started download, or were you able to make an auto queue somewhere like on the xbox? Just curious.

Ya, you can queue a bunch of things to download and let them download in the background. At the time it was 4 or 5 down on the list. And I don't have my PS3 on a lot so it just now came up to download next. I e mailed Sony so I guess I'll wait and see what they say.

Is it worth it to get a NYKO Intercooler TS for my 60GB PS3?

Aren't all those intercoolers worthless, and/or maybe even bad for your system, since it changes the flow of air? Or did they improve their design or something?

I dunno about the airflow change but I read only the older models had the incidiery issues so I thought I'd ask for opinions. Given I live in a tropical island and don't have an AC.

<--- Wishes he lived on a tropical island with no air conditioning. 
On the intercooler, I s'pose it depends on the design. If it simply blows air through the console, I don't see how that could be a bad thing...but if it blocks airflow in any way at any time, that would be a problem.
I'd say go for it if you care deeply about BC.

I read up more on the Intercooler TS and it seems to be made with the 80GB (which apparenty lacks a rear exhaust fan) in mind rather than the 60GB. So I think it may cause more harm than good.

Bummer.
I kind of think that the dust buildup in fats could be part of the problem, so airing that thing out somehow seems like a good idea.
