All is fixed on the PS3?

We've apparently made it through the worst of the storm,
friends. We've received a number of tips informing us that the internal
clock bug that was affecting non-Slim PS3s for the past 24 hours has
been fixed, rendering all games playable once more. We tempted fate
shortly after receiving these reports by testing out a few of our PS3
Phat units and can confirm that they're running games just fine.
Additionally, our "lost" Trophies appear to be properly re-synced to
our PSN accounts.

The extent of the damage incurred during the bug-out is
unknown, but will likely surface in the next few hours. No Joystiq
staffers lost any of their hard-earned Trophy data, but we're an
awfully small sample group for a problem that affected every living being on Earth. We'll be updating this page as we know more -- click past the jump for additional information.
Q. Is it safe to turn on my PS3 now?

A. Right now, it appears the answer is "yes." The
PlayStation Network is online and fully functional for owners of the
PS3 Phat system, and games appear to be running problem-free.


Q. Do I have to download a firmware update?

A. Nope. It should just fix itself automatically, whether you're online or not.


Q. My trophy data for (insert game name here) is gone!

A. Protip: If you lost any trophy data during the
downtime, there may be a way to salvage it. Start the game for which
you're trying to restore trophies. This should create a trophy data set
on your PS3, which you can sync with the server. Our Heavy Rain trophies had vanished, but this trick brought them back from the dead.


Q. The time and date on my PS3 are wrong. How do I fix it?

A. Under Settings on the XMB, and under the Time/Date
settings, you should be able to set your console to automatically sync
the time and date via the internet.
