Everyone needs to chill. The only thing you could possibly lose out of this ordeal is game saves. So far I haven't seen a single person complain they've lost a game-save.

Game data and trophy information are ALL stored online and can be redownloaded/resynced after this whole ordeal has been fixed. It doesn't matter if its not showing your current trophies offline, they are still stored on the PSN servers and will all show up once you're able to connect again.

Have you guys not upgraded your PS3 hard-drives yet? This is basically the exact same thing that happens, you just have to reconnect to the PSN to get it all sorted out. Unfortunately thats the one thing we can't do right now. When you upgrade your HD you lose all of your trophy info. You have to resync before you can view it offline. If you cancel the sync in the middle of the process, it only shows a portion of your trophies. The file saved on your PS3 is in no way the master or dominant list, its simply there for your offline viewing pleasure. YOU WILL NOT LOSE YOUR TROPHIES, SHUT UP.

Wait for Sony to release a fix. Your system is not broken, its not bricked, its not going to lose everything saved on it.

yup. agree 100% I have been in this part of the industry working in it for a very long time, and this type of problem occur's with Bios of motherboard's all the time, yes it suck's that's its now having an effect on game console's, but that's the trade off when the function's that you now have on game console's are cool, you than can have some trouble pop up. It happen's !

the fact that it's something like this instead of something that could be more of a problem, well it could be but based on what has happened, it most likely a Bios fix will be needed.

so it's not something that is out of the relm of getting fixed soon than it would be like having to send the unit back in to be repaired or anything like that.

as far as i can tell.
