It’s All Fun And Games Until Someone Loses A PS3
We usually like to keep things pretty light around here. But this post is a public service announcement of the most urgent nature. I don’t want to alarm anyone, and I’m not prone to exaggeration, but clearly software apps are rising up for the coming war against the humans.
First it was our cars (and then more cars); then it was unmanned aircraft. But now, it’s gotten serious – because now the software uprising of 2010 is messing with our games.
Nick Saint (@ncsaint) over at Business Insider describes just how bad things have gotten in this latest battle between man and machine:
Owners of older models of Sony’s PS3 have been afflicted by a bug in the system’s internal clock. Unless you have a PS3 Slim, leave your machine off until word comes down that the bug has been fixed, or risk permanently losing data.
What’s next — our Foreman grills? Our laser pointers? Our lava lamps? So consider this a call-to-arms for all who develop and test software. The war is on. And lately, the software (and its well-hidden bugs) are winning. Izzy Mandelbaum was right: It’s go time here, people!
This happened at our house.
Oh how my husband wishes it was just a car accident.
Madden. It didn’t save Madden.
That’s tough, Jessica. I had a similar experience with xbox 360 a few years back!
