Sony: ‘Don’t use your PS3′ until internal clock bug is fixed
After a night of radio silence, Sony has finally spoken up about the game-crashing issues currently plaguing non-Slim PS3 models. A post on PlayStation Blog has confirmed that the problems are “being caused by a bug in the clock functionality incorporated in the system.” The statement puts a loose timeframe on a fix for the issues, saying, “we hope to resolve this problem within the next 24 hours.”
Additionally, the PlayStation Blog post includes a word of warning to PS3 Phat owners: “if you have a model other than the new slim PS3, we advise that you do not use your PS3 system, as doing so may result in errors in some functionality, such as recording obtained Trophies, and not being able to restore certain data.” (Read Sony’s full statement after the break.)
We know you’re curious to see what the console apocalypse looks like, but trust us — it’s just not worth it. We’ll let you know when it’s safe to turn your system back on.
Update: The issue has been resolved.

Slingbox DVR streaming due for PS3, says Sling Media VP
Our buddy Leo LaPorte interviewed Jay Tannenbaum of Sling Media the other week on his Tech Guy Labs podcast live at CES, and reader Jason spotted a little bit of news that will be of interest to PS3 owners. The interview starts at about 33 minutes into episode 629, and in his chat with Leo at 33:35, Tannenbaum mentions that the Slingbox software allows you to stream DVR content to anywhere in the world, including “your phone, your laptop, and soon to even the PlayS — uh, PS3.” Leo responds the same way we would, with an incredulous, “Really?” And Tannenbaum answers in the affirmative.
So, wow, there you go. Presumably, you’ll still need a Slingbox to actually sling the media out to your console, and obviously there’s no word yet of how the software would be delivered to the PS3 (on a disk like the Netflix app, or via a purchased program like the $30 iPhone app), but eventually you’ll be able to watch your Slingbox media, even in 1080i, as Tannenbaum says later in the interview, on your PlayStation 3. Interested?
Update: DustoMan in our comments says that Tannenbaum meant streaming Slingbox through the PS3’s browser, as shown in these photos at CES. Still works, we guess, but not quite as groovy.
