Dont update your ps3 at the minute! Sony have messed up here , this could be a big problem!

It seems reports are coming in this morning of some major problems playing games on the PS3. Late on Sunday the Playstation network screwed up the trophy synch and some games stopped working both online and off. The issue only seems to be affecting gamers on the pre-slim line models only. Sony tweeted the following updates on their account.

“PSN status update: We’re narrowing down the issue and continue to work to restore service to all. Updates as soon as we have them.”

And a while later:

“PSN status update (part 2): Readers/followers are confirming that “slim” units (120/250 GB models) are connecting normally.”

Here is a taste of the error message you get if your affected:

Registration of the trophy information could not be completed. The game will quit. (error code)

I think that was the yellow screen of death. Have a look @ adverts.ie, huge amount of broken playstation 3's on there.

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.
