If EVERY Fat Ps3 has been affected.

How will those people who don't have it connected to the internet (which seems a lot) fix the problem if it is fixed via a update?

Seriously what an epic fuck up.

a CD disc could be sent out with the BIOS fix on the CD

so there gonna send millions of disc out ?? i dont think that will really work

yes they indeed would, why because it was already done recently with both HD DVD and Blu-Ray topset player's CE companies do that all the time for firmware updates if someone does not have access to the internet if your machine would indeed need an update to it's chipset or something like it's BIOS. sending out a CD is far cheaper than having the person having to send in their entire unit.

A CD disc....

Man i feel sorry for those people if they can't play their consoles until they get that!

As for the hardware failure thingy i was just kidding.

However this would have to be counted as a hardware failure seeing as it is the machines themself that are broken, it is nothing to do with PSN as millions of people are not even connected to it and have the same problem.

To me a hardware fault simply means that, something that stops it from working. Can wrap it up in whatever you like but that is the reality of it. if something is not working then it is broken is it not?

no it's not the same thing, if your system can still be turned on and still play some game's and still use the internet. than that is quite the opposite of you turn the unit on and nothing can be even used. this is not the same thing. plus the fact that Sony is stating not to use it until they get the fix is so you don't loose or get corrupted data that connot or may not be be stored correctly. that's not the same AS something like thew yload, or the rrod.

completly not the same thing

No news media that I'm aware of has touched this story, yet. Only the video game media. Don't they realize how big this is?

I have Bad Company 2 coming out tomorrow >.

CNN has now covered the issue

Free fix on GoWIII should do the deal. 20 million seller confirmed.

For those who does not have an internet connecion, send your console to Sony tech assistance and get it in one week later with three months of free PSN.
