just like the title says. I booted up. Got online (signed in) and can play my games.
I got home and thought I'd tempt the Fates, and they caved in. Maybe because I killed the fates back in GoW2. Who knows?
All I know is that my ps3 is working.
Here is what I did in exact detail.
Last night, tried to play ff7. WOuldn't work. Signed into all profiles... none of the games worked. Then checked out PSN. Couldn't sign in. Same errors as everyone is getting. So, I played crystal defenders demo after I read that demos work, but not full games. Played that for a few hours, then turned it off. Came home today at 6:53pm EST 11:53pm GMT.
Turned on the console and everything is fine.
