While we are yet to hear directly from SCEA regarding the global problems involving their Playstation 3 console, we have had an official update from a figure within Sony’s UK team.
Such is the enormity of this problem, it has even started to hit major news stations around the world, as Sony UK’s David Wilson made the following statement to Sky News.
Regarding the PS3 lockdown, Wilson stated: “We’re working flat-out to fix the problem. We’ve got guys here working on things and our Japanese team have been working through the night to get this sorted.”
Heres the important part though: He goes on to say that ”affected PS3 users can still access offline play” or ”other functionality that doesn’t require network access.”
However, as far as we’re aware, most of you have been telling us that your games are not working in offline mode either.
We’ll keep you updated when we hear more.
